So the W101 kickstarter rumour is real and has already passed its Switch goal in like 15 minutes.

Also Platinum 4 is like Capcom 5 with W101 remastered being number 1:

Pretty cool seeing the goal for W101 met so quickly.

Such a small Switch goal basically means they've already done that or already got the budget for that, they just wanted to get Switch users on board with the kickstarter.

Joycons charge automatically while they're attached to the main console. Most of the other types of controller (like the pro controller) charge with a USB-C cable, which is the same power cable that the main Switch console uses. So if you don't have a spare cable, you can just use the power cable for the Switch to charge a pro-controller.

It's now passed the Steam goal of $250k.

Interesting how Platinum wants to own all the IP it works on and creates. Probably means that Tencent money can go to buying Astral Chain and Bayonetta back.

Then again, maybe that's why Bayonetta 3 is MIA.

Glad to see W101 getting another chance to shine. It was a game I struggled with, but still appreciated how unique it's ideas were

@Grumblevolcano W101 being the first game of ''Platinum 4'' is a bit disappointing. It's just a port, and it's even a Kickstarter; I expected more

Two people pledged more than €2200. They really want that game.

@Knuckles-Fajita I feel Bayonetta 3 hasn't been shown because of Astral Chain and I highly doubt Nintendo wants to lose either the second or third game in the Bayonetta series as exclusives, and nor will they want to lose Astral Chain seeing as it sold 1 million.

@Octane Cant be any more disappointing than how the Capcom 5 turned out. Only getting 3, and none were exclusive

LOL This is the first day of the W101 kickstarter, right? It's going to top $500,000 within the hour. It's hilarious to watch. I've never seen Kickstarter numbers tick up so fast.

I just remembered I bought the game for my Wii U a few months ago for $5. Maybe I should play it...

Btw, what is Kickstarter anyway ?
Did the money ($ 500,000) come from donation or invests ?

@Ralizah ive been searching for a cheap Wii u copy. Where did you find it?

At this rate it seems like it will come out even on xbone stadia Apple and android devices.
I’m glad more people will get to play it. I love the art style. The music is a bit heavy in the ears for me

PS4 version goal is reached.

@Anti-Matter Kickstarter is a platform where the general public can fund things so they exist, for backing you get the product as well as special rewards dependent on the tier you fund at. For example Shovel Knight started off as a Kickstarter campaign, the campaign succeeded and the game got released with all of its promised expansions but if the campaign failed the game probably wouldn't have existed.

Well at least this is a kickstarter which will almost definitely deliver what it promises.

@NintendoByNature Gamestop was having a sale. Bought around four Wii U games, all CiB, for $20. I was pretty happy.

Remember when people said they weren't jealous of Wii U exclusives?

I've hardly played W101. Didn't take to it when I first tried and am yet to try again. Seems bizarre to me how quickly it's met its goals. I won't be putting my name down.

The speed which it's done it could suggest Platinum will be reluctant to enter into many publishing deals with the likes of Nintendo any time soon. Maybe. Not that I'd know.

@Ralizah yea they had a similar sale last week. Problem is I can never find 3 or 4 games I want in 1 location. The closest gamestop with a used copy is about 50 miles from. With my job, I can always drive out there to see a customer and tie it into a game stop visit lol. But still, I wouldn't find 3 or 4 id be willing to grab.

I did just grab Hyrule warriors for 10 with original case and manual too which was sweet. So sometimes you find good deals.
