Kickstarter For Wonderful 101 Switch Remaster Funded In 30 Mins (Updated)

Confirming earlier rumors, Platinum Games has now launched a Kickstarter campaign for The Wonderful 101 Remastered, a Switch port of the Wii U-exclusive with a funding goal of $50,000 until the campaign wraps on March 6. And in less than 30 minutes, the initial funding goal for the campaign is a success.

Additional platforms may also get the port if stretch goals are met, with the Steam version unlocking at $250,000 raised, and a PS4 version at $500,000. There seem to be plans for more stretch goals along the way if these milestones are reached.

Pledge tiers range from ¥3,900 (roughly $36) for a digital version of the game, all the way up to ¥550,000 (roughly $5,000), which includes a ton of perks: apparel, merchandise like stickers and a soundtrack, and of course, getting blocked by the infamous blocker and Wonderful 101’s director, Hideki Kamiya, on Twitter. If you’ve been dying to be blocked on Twitter by Kamiya himself, that starts with the ¥11,000 (roughly $100) tier.

The Kickstarter campaign comes hot on the heels of a tease from earlier today by Platinum Games, with the launch of a mysterious Platinum 4 website. That page has since been updated to unveil that there are four projects being discussed soon, and Wonderful 101 Remastered is the first out the gate.
