The Wonderful 101 Remastered is finally here, bringing the Wii U hidden gem to other platforms including Nintendo Switch. The problem is this “remaster” isn’t as good as the original.

@sweet_sukeban40224 years ago They did tell the physical backers when they would receive their game. They said the end of june. I do agree that physical backers shouldve gotten a code for ps4 and switch. 74

@

@PkGam3 years ago The outcome of the remaster did turn out to be an oddity. Like, while the wii u version outputted in 720p natively, but scaled to 1080p, there is something so something tells me that the game itself was designed to specifically run on so-and-so things with the wii u hardware, but not others and had trouble being ported. Similar to, say. A snes game being ported to a later console with emulation, but said emulation isn' t perfect and it causes various abnormalities that are inauthentic to the original. ...Expand 2

@Bend8184 years ago so you backed the game with a lot of money before you realized there would be obvious liberties being taken without a 2nd screen? Some games were just build for the Wii U. This is one of them. Good thing I got it on that platform back when it came out .. ...Expand 8

@NaveedMohebbi4 years ago As someone who backed the switch physical version, why would i want a switch digital code as compensation? To keep my physical copy sealed? I would much and pc or ps4 are unarguably the definitive way to play these games. They have higher framerates, higher resolution and the game plays just as good. ...Expand 33

@

@jmachero58524 years ago Well, the one things missing in the remastered is that the trophies wont shine anymore. Pure platinum is the main example.
@

@kevinfetters70404 years ago " but platinum is a tiny team that totally isn' t as big as most a studios and needed the money for a good port" 36
@

@bebopblue4 years ago I really hate how the word remastered is just thrown around just because it run at a higher resolution and frame rate, which is not the case for the switch. This is just a port. 21
@

@8BitFun4 years ago I was worried that this was the case. I guess it' s time to track down an old copy instead of getting the remaster. 37
@

@ActionJaxonH4 years ago I call bull. Aside from 5-10 seconds in an opening cutscene the game runs practically identical to wii u but at 1080p, and, the handheld version runs at furthermore, the game offers the same console version plus a handheld version, and, still has touch support (not that anyone uses it in any version- analog stick all the way) switch is the version to own.

the forms with the r stick are very precise and also the screen thatthe second screen is very good implemented.

@theotherky4 years ago First pokemon, then animal crossing, now this. I can' t help wonder if people' s expectations are becoming heavily inflated. 1
@

@realnamesnotgiven61934 years ago Try changing your system settings to 720p while docked. See if that helps.
@

@kingdisasterdracula20174 years ago You know. This whole rant kind of comes off as a bit whiny. Some complaints, do honestly make a fair bit of sense like the docked mode preforming better. but the weirdly high hopes for platinum one-uping nintendo and the steam keys seem like an odd train of thought. The latter of which, makes sense, but from what i' ve heard, it is way more cost-effective to acquire steam keys, rather than codes for console games. It sucks, but i' m fine with it as a backer of the project.
i understand backing anything is a gamble, but at least with platinum this was already done and it seemed like they just needed some money to land on if things went south. This isn' t another mighty no. 9. ...Expand 45

@Gred04 years ago And this is why i don' t like the idea of backing games, first time i' ve ever done it and now i have to wait months for my physical version and a steam code which i' d rather for my switch: /.
@

@microsofttechsupport36224 years ago I think they needed nintendo to publish it again for the quality control.

@Milkmanrules10324 years ago Maybe they released it a little early and will make it better with updates later?

@Blake374054 years ago Glad i choose to wait to get it as someone who loves the game.

@Pixie_Shmixie4 years ago Considering your thoughts on rescue team dx, im gonna take this with a grain of salt. 6
@

@sharinglungs32264 years ago Not gonna lie i would be more happy to get the steam code instead of a duplicate copy for the same platform.
@

@Chlocean4 years ago I mean, it' s still a good game that so many didn' t get a chance to play. Even though it' s a port, those who didn' t have a wiiu will probably not notice a difference!

@nasserharbi78394 years ago I' m happy with the kickstarter campaign results. I payed 45$ to get a physical copy for ps4 and got the steam free key would have been better if it the way i see it i can play the game on two platforms when i only paid for one which is way better than my options before the kickstarter campaign.

@ltb13454 years ago This is why wii u and 3ds games that make heavy use of the two screens should stay on their respective consoles. Captain toad isn' t as fun to play without the gamepad, and it seems like this is the same way.

@houragents54903 years ago Platinum dropped the ball here and their fanboys can' t accept it. At leat the gamers have spoken with their wallets having this floppl harder then the og release.
@

@professionalspecialist57804 years ago As a fellow higher tier donater, i' m also incredibly disappointed
it hurts to see one of my favorite games get a second chance to shine, only all they did was lower guts/spring costs and a reorchestrated soundtrack. How does that justify calling it a remaster?
i feel like i was tricked into backing a glorified port, not a remaster
yes, they could patch it with the future added content, but i doubt they will add/change enough to justify the subtitle of remaster
this feels like bloodstained for the switch all over again. It' s been almost a year and that game is still barely playable on that system. It' s a watered down experience compared to other syatems and now it' ll be the same all over again when my physical wonderful 101 copy comes (eventually)
platinum dropped the ball hard. I' m glad all physical backers got a steam key to play it on pc that loads light years faster than the original, but now i don' t know if i' ll even play the physical switch copy i ordered. I was so excited for the kickstarter announcement that i backed it the moment i heard about it. Now i feel like a fool for doing so. Change my mind. I wish i could be more wrong. ...Expand 1

@gets04104 years ago I dunno, people hold platinum games in very high regard than they deserve. Knowing how lazy and cheap their games feel like. We should' ve expected i enjoyed most of their games, except nier automata.
