The cake has already been uncovered! The Wonderful 101 Remastered for Nintendo Switch it is already a reality, however, not from Nintendo, but from its own PlatinumGames using Kickstarter, a globally known patronage platform.
So, the controversy has jumped again,Has all this been a good move? Is it really the best method to finance the publication of a project of these dimensions? How could it be otherwise, the debate is served, and another week we come to raise a question about it where the final decision is yours.
The coin starts to spin … Do you think it is right for PlatinumGames to use Kickstarter to finance The Wonderful 101 Remastered?
An appropriate measure

I don't understand much this controversy that exists with something that should please everyone. Games that went unnoticed or even projects that could not be carried out due to the rhythms and demands of different companies, can be realized with campaigns like this from The Wonderful 101: Remastered.
That Platinum is not an indie studio? Okay, but that doesn't stop him be able to try to develop projects that are not within their main orbit. And it is not necessary to go much further: How long did it take to achieve the established goal? Half an hour. There are no further questions, Your Honor.
Maybe that "support" that other third parties asked to take their games to Switch, come true with campaigns like this. And if the game or the project is worth it, the same thing we have seen with The Wonderful 101 will happen.
Really it would seem wrong to someone that an Eternal Darkness Remastered (That in honor of his name it seems that we will never see again) could he give us good times to classics and new players thanks to such a campaign? Half an hour no, 15 minutes I hit the goal. And this is just an example.
I could never criticize Platinum Games for this. Further, the studio still has its own projects, it will not focus its production on remastering through Kickstarter. If they were to abuse this practice and bring us only games that already exist with a face lift, then yes, it would add to the outrage. But they are small joys in the form of projects that, remember, leave if users support them.
In short, they arrive as they wish, but they arrive. The more jewelry you can enjoy, the better.
They don't need it

The patrons hundreds of years ago sponsored their favorite artists through their financing and protection.
I leave this money for you to do this that I like …
Some time ago, several web pages emerged to be able to finance projects that otherwise could not exist, great games like Shovel Knight, Broken Age or Hollow Knight for putting a couple of examples, were born thanks to this system and its success is undeniable.
In this context comes PlatinumGames
From the exit of the hybrid console and with the launches of several ports brought from the previous Nintendo desktop console, this release has been rumored for almost two years. Even at some point, PlatinumGames He talked openly about negotiations with Nintendo for this work and asked the community to press asking the company of the great N.
While the amount they requested did not seem very large, it seems that they got the goal amazingly fast and the publication dates they handle make us believe that either the work is already done or very very advanced. It really seems that tThis financing campaign has not been such, but a great promotion and marketing campaign Being an important company in the industry is totally unnecessary.
They have not only created many rewards that seem simple merchandising but all the money that has been taken for this project could be invested in other projects with less visibility and that are not already developed as in this case.
