<p><strong>Update – Sat 1st Feb, 2020 15:45 GMT:</strong> Following on from yesterday’s teaser, an anonymous source (via 4Chan), is claiming there will be an announcement for a Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 version of <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/wiiu/wonderful_101">The Wonderful 101</a></strong>, and it will be crowdfunded via Kickstarter.</p>
<p><a class="external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHxpKMy4oS4&feature=youtu.be">GameXplain</a> has now added to this – stating how it was able to confirm “some details” via its own source. This includes the supposed confirmation of a Switch and PlayStation 4 release, along with a Kickstarter launch. It’s also done some digging around and discovered a Platinum Games <a class="external" href="https://www.kickstarter.com/profile/platinumgames">Kickstarter page</a>, but can’t actually confirm whether it’s real or fake at this point in time.</p>
<p>We’ll add to this by saying we’ve had a similar confirmation from our own source, who wishes to remain anonymous.</p>

<p><strong>Original article – Fri 31st Jan, 2020 11:35 GMT:</strong> We all know that Nintendo fans love a bit of PlatinumGames, and if there’s one title that they’d love to see come to Switch, it’s <strong>The Wonderful 101</strong>.</p>
<p>The Wii U version was <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/wiiu/wonderful_101">critically acclaimed</a> but sold poorly, so it’s ripe for rediscovery on Nintendo’s latest console – and PlatinumGames has been <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/02/platinumgames_still_wants_to_get_the_wonderful_101_on_switch">pretty cute</a> about <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/06/platinumgames_has_been_doing_a_lot_of_intel_gathering_for_the_wonderful_101">the chances of that happening in the past.</a></p>
<p>Now, it would seem that the studio is laying down some pretty major hints about the game coming to Switch – check out the following tweet, and pay close attention to the time and date on Hideki Kamiya’s screen, as well as the console he has sat on his desk:</p>

<p>This isn’t the first time that the studio has <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/07/platinum_games_teases_the_wonderful_101_for_switch">teased Switch owners with some Wonderful 101-style goodness</a> – perhaps it’s just a joke? Or, maybe there’s more to it? PlatinumGames has recently gained investment from Chinese media giant <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/01/platinumgames_receives_investment_from_tencent_to_explore_self-publishing">Tencent</a> and has stated that it has some <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/01/expect_big_news_from_a_full_speed_platinumgames_this_year">big news</a> coming early this year – could this be it?</p>
