It&#8217;s been quite the success, raising <a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2020\/02\/wonderful_101_kickstarter_campaign_raises_more_than_usd1_million_in_just_over_12_hours\">more than $1 million in just over 12 hours<\/a> and speeding along with each passing minute.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in an update added to the Kickstarter campaign, the game&#8217;s director Hideki Kamiya has shared early design documents and little tidbits of info from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/wiiu\/wonderful_101\">the original game<\/a>&#8216;s development. He says, &#8220;The Wonderful 101 has a staggering amount of content \u2013 so much, in fact, that I have full confidence it can satisfy everyone even now, 6 long years after it was originally released&#8221;, giving him a reason to search through an old hard drive and show off the content found below.<\/p>\n<p>He kicks things off with the first draft of the game&#8217;s design document, which was made entirely by himself. It features early sketches, the name &#8216;Wonder-Red&#8217; (which had already been chosen very early on), and mentions the number &#8216;100&#8217; rather than &#8216;101&#8217;. Kamiya said he was told to &#8220;get a little more creative with the title&#8221;, so he added one to the number.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\"><\/aside>\n<p>The &#8220;line action&#8221; page shows off what the player can do with their team members; ideas here made it into the final game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><\/figure>\n<p>The update also includes initial designs for the team members. Here we can see Wonder-Red with and without a mask; Kamiya says, &#8220;The mask shape looks a little different, but I pretty much knew how the design would look from the start&#8230; I hadn&#8217;t decided on what day job he would take on to hide himself from the world, and was still experimenting with different ideas&#8221;.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"W6\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/a52981f6414e9\/w6.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/a52981f6414e9\/w6.original.jpg\" alt=\"W6\"><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, he also shows off the game&#8217;s very first screenshot created as a prototype &#8211; although he wasn&#8217;t satisfied with this early graphical style &#8211; and a poster which was created by a designer for fun. It was created &#8220;to look like a movie poster&#8221;, and the team hung it up in the office for all to see.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><\/figure>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested, you can see the entire update for yourself right <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/platinumgames\/the-wonderful-101-remastered\/posts\/2747969\">here<\/a>, as well as pledge towards the game itself, of course.<\/p>\n<p><em>Fascinating stuff!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you&#8217;ll no doubt be aware if you&#8217;ve visited the site over the last couple of days, PlatinumGames revealed a Kickstarter campaign earlier this week which will bring The Wonderful 101: Remastered to Switch later this year.
