Unless you've been living under a giant fist/sword/gun-shaped rock over the past week or so, you'll be aware that Wii U exclusive The Wonderful 101 has been all over the news just lately. The sudden interest has arrived thanks to PlatinumGames' new Kickstarter campaign which has already generated enough funds to secure a remaster of the game on Nintendo Switch and PS4.
With all of this sudden excitement for the game, what better time could there ever be to take a look back through its development history? The video below comes from video game researcher Liam Robertson, who has explored the game's creation, the inspirations of director Hideki Kamiya, and even the discussions which took place between PlatinumGames and Nintendo.
Did you know that early plans for the game's concept featured the likes of F-Zero's Captain Falcon, or that we could have seen the likes of Luigi, Yoshi and Peach serving as a bridge for Mario to walk across? You will soon...
Have you backed the new Kickstarter? Are you a fan of the Wii U original? Let us know in the comments below.

I DIDN’T KNOW THIS!!!!! Could have been very special. Tha captain needs more love.
Think Nintendo would have been more reluctant to let it go multiplat if that had ended up happening in the final game. Oh well
@tobsesta99 There's stuff in this video that was not public knowledge prior to it being released, such as the Sonic & Tails Wonderful Ones and some footage of the first demos.
Wonderful 101 is really just an action based Pikmin game.
Damn, Captain Falcon would've been absolutely perfect for this game, shame he wasn't included (Here's hoping he gets added in the Switch version of the Remaster).
@NoTinderLife It really isn't.
If that did came to fruition then The Wonderful 101 wouldn't need Kickstarter to make another game cause then Nintendo would be the ones backing it instead.
That explains the mask design. I'm glad that they built the game without trying to use Nintendo as a crutch.
Captain falcon??? I didnt know that. Man if they add him ass DLC or something inwould buy the game twice lol.
Captain Falcon is Nintendos One For all (My Hero acadamy)
Always love these videos.
