Current Events > Wonderful 101 for Xbone? Devs say the engine is "too different"

(+) Yeah! (+)

When we first spoke about The Wonderful 101: Remastered back in September, Kamiya-san mentioned an Xbox One version as a planned stretch goal. Can you speak a bit to what happened there?

Kamiya: Thats very true, and we did plan and want to release on Xbox One. But the fact of the matter was that the original engine for the game and the engine for the Xbox One are very different, and its not easy to port like the other systems. So as a result of that, unfortunately and regrettably, we had to relinquish the Xbox One release.
Is an Xbox One version something you would rule out entirely?
Kamiya: Its just a very costly thing to do and we dont have the ability to do it in-house. I dont want to say it will never happen. If the right things come together and we get enough money, it might be possible, but its just an expensive thing to do. We did want to do itits purely for that reason that we couldnt.

The X1/PS4 architecture are far more similar than last gen with the 360/PS3. What gives?

Its a bullshit response, I would say. Maybe theres still bad blood between Platinum and Microsoft over Scalebound or maybe the sales in Japan at least wouldnt be worth the port costs.

I know the OG Xbone has that Eram (sp) thing? Maybe thats the issue but probably isnt that crazy.
