 2013 Trailer:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNefE89DZds What is this? Wonderful 101: Remastered is a 2020 re-release of the 2013 Character-Action game made by platinum games for the WiiU, directed by Hideki Kamiya. This exciting game has you leading playing as color-coded Sentai-Style Superheroes who lead a 100 person strong team of superheroes. Your mission is to defend the earth from an evil alien GETHJERK invasion. How does it work? Gameplay Video:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCXboy6Ne1o Wikipedia posted:In The Wonderful 101, players control a horde of superheroes from an isometric viewpoint and can turn them into various objects called "Unite Morphs." As levels progress, players must explore each stage to find helpless citizens and recruit them to join their army of heroes. The more heroes gathered, the greater the special morph powers can be. At the cost of depleting their battery meter, players can use "Unite Morph" forms to defeat enemies, solve puzzles, or traverse the environment. What makes this game unique? Simply put, this is one of the best and most jam-packed titles Platinum has ever made, it has a genuinely awesome story, it has a unique gameplay system, it’s characters are extremely fun, well realized and endearing, and the escalation of events make this one of the hypest videogames I have ever played. Absolutely one of the best overall experiences of the last decade. Featuring tons of special moves, bayonetta action, unlockables, items, stuff. This is easily Platinum at their top form. It has incredible sense of direction, the boss battles are loving awesome, this game is great. It’s like playing incredible sentai Saturday morning cartoon! Also it has an incredible soundtrack and has inspired tons of kick rear end remixes! Wonderball 101 Tables-Turnover:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjR7JZbdONs The Wonstoppable Wonderful 101:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvHKxnMv04k Tables Turn:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_moHXjH7pc The main theme and tables turn will get a full orchestrial rendition in the remaster! So Why haven’t I heard of it? THIS IS WHY:-  1) It was stuck on the WiiU 2) It was not marketed 3) It’s one of the most disastrous sale numbers for a big videogame in history, it sold less than 30,000 copies, it was a disaster. The game ended up becoming a cult hit and it’s reputation slowly spread in the years, leading to February 2020, where a kickstarter for a remaster was announced and blew the doors open! THE KICKSTARTER  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/platinumgames/the-wonderful-101-remastered Campaign Video:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG2XUCTXKJ8 Kamiya Interview:- https://youtu.be/MJ08UnPGF9w Wikipedia posted:“Platinum launched a Kickstarter in February 2020 to port the game in a remastered edition to the Switch and other platforms including personal computer and PlayStation 4 when stretch goals were met, with further stretch goals to add downloadable content to the game.[13][14] Hideki Kamiya and Atsushi Inaba said that they had approached Nintendo, the publisher and co-owner of copyright and solely owner of trademark, about republishing the game for a wider audience. Sounds good! When is it coming out? If you had backed the project on Kickstarter, the game will be delivered to you digitally and physically by late April, if you didn’t make the kickstarter, the official release date is May 19 2020 in the US, and May 22 2020 in Europe. It will be released for Switch, PS4 and PC. LP’s and Gamer videos (may be spoilery) Chip & Ironicus:- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrekaHLD2rhYbLMMmVQ_5E_vLbKDYHnSB Super Best Friends:- https://youtu.be/8dj6SF7C-FM Woolie Versus:- https://youtu.be/vB2Bxuy2PZk MatthewMatosis:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYEb19dBGzc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVgZ13DGaSw So if you're new to the game, or have played through the WiiU game, or backed the game on Kickstarter, lets talk about it! I cant wait for this game to reach a much wider audience as it deserves this time!! I cant wait to play this game again! TEAM, UNITE UP!

I don't know why I didn't buy this the first time round despite owning a Wii U, loving Platinum and thinking it sounded really cool. Probably the same reason no other fucker bought it. Have they confirmed that the drawing/formation stuff will be done with the analogue sticks? Because that just makes me think of the misery of drawing stuff in Okami.

I think the drawing controls will be similar to the way it was done originally if you selected the non drawing option which was to use the analog sticks, which was mostly fine. The REAL worry I have is how they’ll get around those infuriating indoor tablet sections that forced you to use the gyro controls, I really hope they handle that well and also move the camera back a little in the main game.

I want the drawing option, just wondering if they've modernised it to be used one handed with a stylus like Pikmin 3, which would be ideal.

I picked up the original release on sale for  , and it was easily my favorite game on the WiiU. I always got terrible scores in fights because I'd just make a bunch of hands and punch every enemy to death if it didn't need other weapons. I backed the kickstarter as soon as I found out, can't wait to play it on the perfect platform!

update on the kickstarter backer situation was just posted:- Due to the Corona situation, they will be delaying shipments of the game, however, as an apology all physical backers will receive a digital steam code! big props to Platinum for this!! Platinum Games posted:

I give platinum no props at all, backers will be receiving their copy after the general retail release. I don't need a steam code, so once again I have been hosed over by kickstarter. Never ever back a kickstarter, ever. e: I don't mean to come across a dick about the pandemic, obviously it was going to gently caress up the shipping and is much more important than videogames. I'm just mad that I backed this game specifically to play it early and now I'm getting it late. I hate kickstarter, and I've really really learned my lesson this time. When they posted this, I said "I don't do kickstarter, but I'll make an exception for platinum". Guess the egg is on my face. Dred Cosmonaut fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Apr 30, 2020 |

That sucks. I can't say I'm surprised though or even angry or anything. It'll come with time, and honestly I was kinda nervous anyway. I'm a at risk person so been cutting down on mail and as many trips out as I can so the idea of getting a package fulla stuff, while exciting, still has me concerned. I can't play the steam version so feeling pretty glum there too- but I guess I could just give it to a friend maybe. I just find the part of 'getting it later than stores' a bit weird as you'd think backers would be first priority.

Going to just play the game on Steam and leave my Switch copy in the shrink wrap I guess. Awesome for Platinum to do this but my heart goes out to the people without good PCs who are still out of luck.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:That sucks. While I overall like Platinum's frankness on the situation it's weird and, let's face it dumb, to announce that the physical version will arrive later than the retail release and then later in the same post note that the retail release has been delayed as well- Making the statement mostly redundant. I say 'mostly', because I think it implies that even outside of both delays, shipping and processing backer copies might still be later than the region's retail release in some cases which sucks. Also, the physical bonuses on higher tiers are not going to go out until later this year, this shipping is only for the backer copies. I would not be surprised if this if the physical goods get delayed too- Frankly whether or not the pandemic is happening in the first place. I never trust a KS project to be delivered timely, so it's basically impossible for me to be disappointed. So long as it is delivered, I ain't gonna complain, but I understand and respect those that would. Thanks to this incident I now have an extra-extra Steam copy, as I got myself a physical release and my cousin a physical/digital, which the digital steam copy was for myself. If I somehow get a third copy I'm probably going to sell it on SAmart. If not well at least me and my cousin get two copies each! Midjack posted:I would prefer to have a choice for what platform I get the code for rather than getting a Steam code that I have no use for. I imagine, unfortunately, that it comes down to cost. Requesting keys from Valve is probably tonnes easier than Sony or Nintendo. I'd imagine the delay in response was likely them figuring how best to soften the news, get legal outta the way, etc... poo poo, I hope now my computer can actually run it. I can run Bayonetta/MGR:R/Transformers and to a certain extent Vanquish (not full 60fps). I use Linux/Proton and a cheap dual core/Nvidia that's years old so I'm not running the latest and greatest games. But most of Platinum's output works, so I should be good to actually boot up the game at least. UnintelGen fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Apr 30, 2020 |

I backed for the digital/physical tier for a switch copy and a steam key. Kind of hoping this means I can get a digital copy on two platforms. If not I'll have a second key to gift.

I don't like in Platinum Games games where there enemy clearly telegraphs that they are going to attack, so I press the button, but it turns out I pressed it a little bit too soon so my dodge or roll is finished and I get hit before I can press it again. Then when I almost get used to it, there's an orange version of the same enemy and it happens all over again. Then there's the first enemy again but there's three of them at once and I almost got used to it for the orange enemy so I'm pressing the button too soon and getting tripple punished. If I do manage to beat the game, it turns out that now the real game starts which is grinding the entire game again to get better grades on my report card. Wonderful 101 was really neat and colorful. I'm gonna get it eventually on PC for sure.
