Hideki Kamiya reflected on the The Wonderful 101’s development on Twitter earlier today. According to the director, PlatinumGames had attempted to make it so players could bring their own Mii into the game as a hero. This is something he hopes can be done in “The Wonderful 102”, he said.

Kamiya’s tweet in full:

When asked if players would have had the opportunity to choose which Unite Morph their Mii would have used – based on the original idea – Kamiya said:

Of course, The Wonderful 102 is not a sure-fire thing at this point. The Wonderful 101 hasn’t done particularly well at retail, though Kamiya has previously expressed interest in making a sequel.

With game development costs on the rise, it should come as no surprise that Watch Dogs has costed tens of millions for Ubisoft. Specifically, executive producer Stéphane Decroix told French business publication Challenges last year (before the end of year delay) that the game’s budget was in excess of 50 million euros. That amounts to about $68 million.
