The Wonderful 101: Remastered is an action brawler with platforming, quicktime events and rail shooting elements made by PlatinumGames. The game is a remaster of The Wonderful 101 which originally released on August 23, 2013 as an exclusive title for the Wii U. The game uses the Platinum Engine shared by more recent releases Vanquish and Bayonetta.

The remaster was first announced as a crowdfunded Kickstarter project on February 3, 2020, and eventually raised ¥235,320,528 from 33,199 backers and the PC version of the game was a stretch goal.[2][3] The initial release date was set for April 2020, but after a series of delays, a release date was set May 19, 2020 on Steam. Some backers received download Steam codes from May 11, 2020.[4] The game is due to be released May 19, 2020 in North America, May 22 in Europe and June 11 in Japan.[5]

Issue with frame pacing has been identified, and can be fixed using SilentPatch.

Enhanced Anti-Aliasing for nvidia users

Greatly enhances image quality
How to
  • First you need nvidia profile inspector.
  • Create a new profile for Wonderful 101 and apply the game's executable to it.
  • Change the following settings:
  1. In Anti-Aliasing compatibility bits, enter 0x084002C0.
  2. Switch Anti Aliasing fix to ON. (this is very important, otherwise the image will be blurry, with this enabled the image will be crisp)
  3. Change Antialiasing-Mode to Override any application setting.
  4. Change Antialiasing Setting to 2X, 4X or 8X Multisampling according to your hardware.
  5. Change Transparency Supersampling to the Sparse Grid Supersampling setting that matches your MSAA setting. (e.g. 2X MSAA with 2X SGSSAA).
