Inaba-san talks about his role as producer and then goes on to mention what the Kickstarter campaign means for PlatinumGames, which goes beyond simple monetary help.

You can check out the full video below.

“If we’re lucky enough to get a lot of support with this campaign, I feel like PlatinumGames will be able to reinvent itself in more than a few ways.

The fans’ voices will make this company stronger. The fans’ voices will allow us to release more original games.

I think it’ll be a very healthy way for us to grow. Money is important of course, but having people there to cheer us on is far more important to us.”

At the moment of this writing, the game’s Kickstarter campaign is sitting on $1630042, having passed several stretch goals following its announcement on February 3.

The Wonderful 101: Remastered brings back PlatinumGames’ former Wii U-exclusive action game from 2013 for Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC via Steam.

It’ll be playable at PAX East, where Inaba-san himself and director Hideki Kamiya will host a panel

Incidentally, recently we also learned that PlatinumGames has four (likely self-published) projects in store, three of which have not been revealed yet.
