Thus far,The Wonderful 101 Remasteredhas had a successful Kickstarter run. ItsKickstarter run launched to a huge success, despite the game’s initial lack thereof on the Wii U, its original platform. As mentioned previously, it has since gone on to raise over $2 million since the Kickstarter’s launch in early 2020. It has now reached its seventh goal in crowdfunding and currently sits at just over $2.2 million.
The next goal is $2.25 million. The result of reaching it would have been orchestral recordings of “The Won-Stoppable Wonderful 100” and “Tables Turn.” However,revenue from Twitch streamshas made up for it and is allowing for the composition of the orchestral recordings.
The Wonderful 101 Remasteredactuallyraised over $1 millionin just the first day of the Kickstarter crowdfund launch for the game. This goes to show that the game does have a following, or that there were PlatinumGames fans who were curious aboutThe Wonderful 101to begin with but elected not to purchase a Wii U.
At this point, an eventual sequel toThe Wonderful 101appears more and more likely. After all, Platinum Games is developing new content for the game’s remaster after reaching two of the game’s Kickstarter goals. This illustrates that the developer may be open other possibilities where future sequels toThe Wonderful 101are concerned.
Platinum Games' most recent release was the highly-acclaimedAstral Chainon Nintendo Switch. WhileThe Wonderful 101 Remasteredwill be the developer’s next release, it is also working onBayonetta 3for Nintendo Switch andBabylon’s Fallon PS4 and PC.
