The Wonderful 101 Remastered will release for PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch on May 19 in North America.
Platinum released a brief trailer showing off some of the action you can expect, with a more cartoonish take on Viewtiful Joe’s comic-book action.
In a press release, courtesy of Gematsu, Platinum’s Hideki Kamiya also talked about the studio’s hopes for the game and why they wanted to give it a second chance it life. Despite low sales on the Wii U after it released in 2013, the studio never regarded it as a failure.
In fact, Kamiya says it’s because of the low sales they wanted to give it a new chance at life, saying:
TW101 isn’t a straight-up port either. Platinum has fine-tuned the controls and adjusted gameplay so it’s easier to adapt to right away, and the framerate and visual quality were upgraded to suit modern consoles.
We’re looking forward to another chance at experiencing this chapter in Platinum’s saga, especially now that it has a spiritual follow-up in Platinum’s newly announced Project G.G.
