Nintendo Everything/USPTO

There's been a debate online for years about the state of ownership of the IP ever since it came to PS4 and PC. Now we have the final answer, and it's as I suspected, Nintendo, likely due to how the game initially sold on Wii U, gave up their share of the IP to Platinum to even make the multiplat "remaster" possible.

Still, I don't see anything else happening with it anytime soon.

Own just the Wii U version myself and... so do I. And I know I should like it being a fan of the genre it was influenced by (tokusatsu, aka Power Rangers/Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman).

Haha for sure, Power Rangers were a big thing in my youth. It also gives up Pikmin vibes.

I bought Wonderful 101 on a PC sale years ago, and I still haven't got around playing it. Just been busy playing too many games that caught my attention.

This is a trademark, which is the name, but what about the copyright (assets of an IP, such as characters)?

Got the Wii U and PlayStation versions. Played a bit of both and quite enjoyed the game. Really need to get back to it.

Have had it on my steam wishlist for a while now. I get tempted but never pull the trigger. Seems unique which makes me interested

Man there's a blast from the past......OH GOD I'M OLD!! 😭.

I have the wiiu version. I remember loving the vibe about it but I also remember the game being quite frustrating. I'd like to see another stab at it though.

That is good to know. But with Kamiya gone from Platinum, I don't think they will ever revisit the IP.

Perhaps their share is timed. Oddly Koei Tecmo started to re-release the Fatal Frame games after about a decade from the 4th game that released on the Wii and few years after the Wii U game. Makes me wonder what other IPs might be open to releasing on other systems if enough time passes. Curious if Bayonetta sequels could ever release on other systems.

The 13 people who bought this game will be deeply excited.
