The Wonderful 101: Remastered File Size And Other Details Revealed

Is this when backers can expect to receive it too?

I backed the kickstarter and I'm certainly looking forward to playing it again. Like JoeDiddley I wonder when my backers copy will arrive, but to be honest I'm not ready to break away from Animal Crossing at the moment anyway.

I'll be comparing the difference between the playstation and the switch version of the game. I'll decide afterwards if I buy one or the other.

@JoeDiddley nope we still need to wait for the update bout that

@j_whitfield8 2 weeks before release only for backers
it seems like we have to wait for the update
i think platinum will re open at may 6 but i read that in a comment on the kickstarter page so im not sure how accurate this is

seems alright

I'm really excited about replaying this. I still have it on the WiiU but decided to back it on kickstartel. My only doubt is that, from the trailer, they have not found a different solution than the PiP in those sections that required the second screen of the WiiU Gamepad. In portable or worse tabetop mode the small picture will become really small, and part of the main picture is covered from the small one... Still, I hope my copy arrives as soon as possible!

I want to know when the physical comes out

10gb or so for the wiiU.. Nintendo switch (master of compression)

I’ll be waiting on a physical copy to. I’ve never played this game but I want to see what the fuss is all about.

I was one of the Kickstarter backers, But seeing as the game has an MSRP of $40 and I paid just over that as a backer for just a physical copy with no extras, I kind of wish I just bought it standard retail when it released. I will be particularly disappointed if I don’t receive the game in the mail before it releases commercially. I’m hoping a little bit extra I had to pay ensures I will at least get to play it a little bit early.

I backed the Kickstarter for this. Barring any delays, a physical copy of the game should show up on my doorstep in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to try this one out!

Edit: Scratch this post. See my next comment.

Can’t wait to play this on my Switch; I recall playing this on the wiiu and was thoroughly impressed with it. Betting this new version will be even better!

Go, go team!
Demolish those fiends!
Toss 'em in a garbage can!
Wipe the floor with aliens galore
'Til the world is spick and span!
They can do it, they can do it,
'Cause they're bravest under the sun...
The won-destructible Wonderful,
Wonderful 101!

I bought this on WiiU when it released, but I got tired of it halfway through. There were some problematic bits where I couldn't tell what to do because of bad camera perspective. I'll probably give it a second chance on Switch, but only at a discount.

I too backed the Kickstarter. It's interesting about my situation because the game comes out May 19th it seems but Kickstarter tells me my physical Switch copy (I guess because it comes with a musical soundtrack [The Wonderful Physical Game + OST]) won't get here until November. Does that mean my entire package doesn't get here until November or do I get the game in May and the rest in November? They're not quite clear about that. Out!

Platinum is out of the office until May 6th and somehow that negates them from being able to update their Kickstarter....kind of worried when us backers are getting a copy.

@Bunkerneath May 15th in the US. All retailers are carrying the game too.

As I was half way into reading this article I got an email notification for Kickstarter backers saying that physical copies would be delayed until late June. This is life, I suppose lol. Not totally surprised.

@Dang69 it’s funny I got a Kickstarter email from them just minutes ago as I was reading this article. Looks like physical has been delayed until late June for backers. Bummer.

Well I’ve had a backer notification that my copy is delayed. Sucks but I understand (I’ll be busy with XC DE if I’m honest). I don’t have Steam or a laptop capable of running the game.

“Unfortunately, due to the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic, we’re expecting delays in preparing the US and EU physical versions. Backer rewards are being given the highest priority, but due to distribution issues, backers who have chosen physical versions of the game may receive it after general retail release. Our current estimate for the start of shipping rewards is late June. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

We know this is incredibly frustrating, and as a token of our apology for this, we will be providing all physical version backers with a Steam download code for The Wonderful 101: Remastered, so that they can play the game at the same time as backers who purchased the digital version.“

Yep, I also got the Kickstarter email and posted something about the delay in the forum topic. It's a bummer, but also completely understandable in these crazy times. The digital Steam code is a nice touch, but I'll likely end up giving it away; I don't have a Steam account, plus my personal laptop would chug with a game like that.

I wonder why they are not giving out codes for the related systems of the backers. Steam is more or less useless for me, why not give us an eshop code? But I guess that's live. Probably would be a good idea to just delay the whole game so backers would not feel so bad.

Platinum is the new Playtonic!

I get that there's a pandemic and was fully expecting there to be a delay, but do the right thing Platinum Games and delay the game's release date so both the digital and physical retail versions come out AFTER the Kickstarter backers (who funded this game for you) have received their physical copies.

Or give the physical backers download codes for the version they backed.

Or give the physical backers the option to receive a full refund so we can buy a physical retail copy instead.

@ryancraddock looking forward to Nintendo Life doing an article on this and asking Platinum Games about the situation on behalf of NL readers as PG have gone rather quiet on Kickstarter since the campaign ended.

Wii U version is bigger, so some optimisation (compressed sound?). I keep trying to get into W101 but I don't think the game is for me. I prefer Bayo and even Astral Chain. Platinum has always been a little hit or miss with me. I actually enjoyed their Transformers game immensely though.

Still not going to sell well but I am happy the backers are getting their wish!

Is it just me or is this article slightly outdated? The Kickstarter mentions how the release has been delayed to June/July.

I got my backer physical copy coming in! Looking forward to it!

@JoeDiddley

For backers if you paided for a digital copy you will get it on the 7th of may

If you paided for a physical copy of the game, due to corona virus, will not be able to meet this date on time. There saying that backer will receive psyical copies after release date in june but if you have steam on p.c then you can check you email on may 7th still as there giving steam codes to all psyical copy backers
