PlatinumGames trying to talk with Nintendo about bringing The Wonderful 101 to Switch
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
PlatinumGames created the Wii U-exclusive game The Wonderful 101 for Nintendo back in 2013. Unfortunately, it was a bit underappreciated, and didn’t sell a whole lot in the end.
Some have been hoping that The Wonderful 101 will find new life on Switch through a potential port. After all, a number of Wii U titles have been crossing over to the new console. Even a couple of Platinum’s other games that released on Wii U – Bayonetta 1 and 2 – landed on Switch a couple of months ago. And while nothing is confirmed, PlatinumGames is interested in making it happen.
