The Wonderful 101 Kickstarter will let you get blocked on Twitter by Kamiya himself

PlatinumGames certainly hasn't been shy about the project's existence, but today it finally unveiled the Kickstarter campaign for The Wonderful 101 Remastered. Crowdfunding commences today and runs through until next month with the Nintendo Switch version due this April - if the campaign is successful - with stretch goals in place for PC and PS4 versions as well as additional content. Even better, if you pledge 11,000 JPY or more Hideki Kamiya will Tweet at you and then block you forever.

He already blocked me few years ago just cause i asked him if he was involved with babylons fall. The madness

Neonridr1560d ago

he blocked me when I asked him if he was happy with the Wii U and what sorts of things he was hoping to implement with the gamepad.. lol

NapalmSanctuary1560d ago

Ouch. That seems a bit unnecessary.

Neonridr1559d ago

@NapalmSanctuary - I think maybe he misread since English isn't his first language. Honestly I have no clue, but nothing I can do now, lol.

NapalmSanctuary1560d ago

Thats kinda like that one guy who wanted Henry Rollins to spit on him.

Nintendo confirms its commitment to physical games

In an era dominated by digital downloads and streaming services, the importance of physical media in gaming remains a topic of discussion.

Of course, Nintendo has always preferred physical sales, especially since they skew to a younger audience, and kids want games for their birthdays and holidays. They go to the store and pick the game they want.

Since the Wii they have always been the last major publisher to support modern tech or concepts, and they will be the last to support physical if it ever goes away. Which I hope it doesn't.

darthv7216h ago

Nintendo just likes sales in general. If they can sell digital more, they would because the 2nd hand market they do not get a cut of. For me, i tend to buy more physical switch games than I do other platforms. I do have my fair share of digital deals from the eshop though. Especially if its something that i have a sealed physical copy of and dont want to reduce its value.

Cacabunga16h ago

Then I know for sure who I will be supporting

neutralgamer199217h ago

OK, but you need better format where these games could actually fit instead of half of the game being in physical form and all I have being on a digital code or have to download

Hofstaderman17h ago

The one caveat with cartridges. If the leaks are true the internal storage stands at 256gb plus SD card support too.

franwex13h ago

You could have a 256gb card and a 10gb card. Publishers will simply use the 10gb one and make you download the rest.

Inverno16h ago

There are cards that can fit all of a game but those cost more, and publishers are cheap. It's weird cause with how much the switch has sold and how long it's been on the market the costs to manufacture these cards should've been much lower by now. It's a publisher issue cause there has only been very few exceptions on PS and Xbox, rest of the industry would rather force a download despite Blu-ray being cheap.

shinoff218315h ago

Your right. It's definitely a publisher issue. From my time collecting that's what I've come across. Just always remember

Tell you everything you need to know about releases.

Flakegriffin13h ago

Pretty sure most, if not all, of Nintendo first party titles are all on cartridge. It’s the third parties.

Neonridr8h ago

that's on devs who opt for cheaper sized cartridges to save on manufacturing costs.

Yeah it artificially retains the high prices for their software. Hence Pirates will always have their day with them.
