Forums - Gaming Discussion - Rumor: Platinum Games will Open a Kickstarter on Monday for a Wonderful 101 Port to Switch and PS4 (COMFIRMED!)

Tagged games:

I don't know about this. I love Platinum, but 500K for a PS4 port? What on earth would they need the extra 450K for?

I'm glad that it's finally coming to the Switch, though I'm a bit disappointed it had to go through Kickstarter to actually make it.



Sometimes things bomb at launch and grow a cult following. This game had 7 years to do that.



Bite my shiny metal cockpit!

Agreed! I'm not saying those Sony games are bad or sold bad, but just that they don't really embrace non realistic looking visuals often.

Them double standards and disingenuous comments. 

When on one side games are cautiously picked as the  most popular and best selling titles and disregarding all the others that don’t fit the biased narrative, and on the other side, the picks selectively and deceptively taken with somewhat diversity in the cartoon style but not using the best selling most popular titles,  you know the kind of people you’re going to argue with and they’ve already wasted enough of your time. 

Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Odyssey, Smash Ultimate, Luigi’s Mansion, Splatoon 2... Pretty much use the same art style.

Then you have all the other games that used a somewhat stylized yet still very much cartoon. Games like Link’s Awakening, Kirby and Yoshi. 

For all the complaints about Sony making more realistic games than cartoony ones, you have to at least acknowledge the fact that Nintendo doesn't do anything other than cartoony visuals, be them made of clay, wool, mud, clouds or rainbows.

Sony makes TLOU, God of War, Uncharted, Spider Man, Horizon, sure. Yet all of them, while being realistic in nature, are all stylized a different way. The same as Nintendo’s different approaches to the cartoony style.

But then, Sony does make strongly stylized games like Medievil, The Last Guardian, Ratchet & Clank, Knack, Tearaway, Gravity Rush, The Unfinished Swan, Astro Bot...

What does Nintendo make that isn’t cartoony? Even Xenoblade 2 has embraced the cartoony style.

And by cartoony, I mean:

~ a simplified or exaggerated version or interpretation of something.


And I’ll never buy Azzanation’s BS for his constant negativity towards PS. 

Man spot on! If we're gonna say Sony just mainly makes realistic games, you got to call Nintendo out for the cartoony look. Good examples on Ratchet and Clank, Tearaway, Gravity Rush, Journey, etc. Sony is definitely more diversed in different styles than actually any of them. While I truly adore Nintendo's artsy style, they do have that type of style for the majority of their games....they do tend to have quite in abundance of it. Not bad in any way, shape, or form. It's what makes Nintendo unique. Just that its their b&b. Art Styles (cartoonish, clay, yarn, etc) and innovation is what they're known for.

I do disagree about Xenoblade 2. That's not cartoony. Or Fire Emblem (although you didn't mention it).

Can't say I'm surprised at the other post implying Xbox tries to be more diverse than Sony. Heavily disagree. While Xbox has done great with games like Cuphead, Ori, and even Sea Of Thieves. They still tend to stick to shooters for the most part. Also their games have the realistic approach as well.

Still reading it, but it seems that Nintendo was simply nice with them, cut some kind of deal with Platinum, and allowed them to release on other platforms.The IP situation is still unknown though.My guess is that its somehow its owned by Nintendo.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Seems permission was granted by Nintendo for PG to Remaster, W101 is the most technical action game out there look forward to this.

"The Wonderful 101 is a game that represents our passion for making games and dedication to quality, and one that we want to reach as many people as possible. Now, with the support of Nintendo, we have been given the opportunity to bring this game to the Nintendo Switch and other platforms as well! This is an amazing opportunity, and an important step toward our goals."

It's first party the game originally used Mario and other first party characters in the early concept on Wii much like Smash but Nintendo told PG to create original characters as it better suited the concept.

To suck up those PS4 users dolars to fund other games that probably wont end on ps4

Well Im pretty sure it will be Nintendo fans who end up funding this for PlayStation owners.
