Last week, Platinum Games made reality The Wonderful 101 Remastered for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC after successfully launching a crowfunding campaign on Kickstarter. The project began with a goal of $ 50,000 to reach the Nintendo console, something he achieved in minutes, as well as the goals to reach PC and PS4.
Now, its director, Hideki Kamiya, explain to the medium Nintendoeverything why this financing campaign is not only important to carry out remastering, but also could help launch a hypothetical sequel to The Wonderful 101. «When we were making the game for Wii U, I had high hopes before its release. I knew we were doing a really amazing game, so I felt sure that many people would play it and it would be a great success», Kamiya begins. «I was dreaming things… I had ideas like, ‘Oh, what would it be like if we did a sequel where Wonder Blue was the leader? ’All these creative and exciting ideas flowed, but then the game was released and I saw the numbers …».
Hideki Kamiya continues to explain that the Platinum Games team “He wants to return to The Wonderful 101 now because he has always felt that it was a high quality game that did not have a fair chance. Regarding a sequel or something, we cannot make one if there is no fan of the series in the first place. But, if fans support this and things are going very well for The Wonderful 101 Remastered, then I would say it's quite natural that we want to make another game in the series».
This is how the financing campaign for The Wonderful 101 Remastered advances
20 days after the end of your financing campaign in Kickstarter, The Wonderful 101 Remastered has more than 25,000 sponsors with more than € 1,500,000 raised.

Among the next goals of the Platinum Games campaign is to reach 1.75 million dollars, an attainable fact that will be rewarded with a soundtrack with remixes of the original themes with a special guest not disclosed.
