This is far from the most polished remaster I’ve played, and the original was a hit-and-miss affair to begin with. Judged in terms of Platinum’s own end-of-level trophies, this earns a silver award at best.

Marrying astonishing spectacle and overwrought drama, The Wonderful 101: Remastered is one of the most memorable action games you'll ever play. Its delirious excesses come with a price, and it's one that's at little harder to forgive this time, with the original's flaws remaining untouched, and a few compromises made to accommodate the Wii U version's dual-screen set-pieces. But for all its minor frustrations, it's a game that rewards patience and perseverance. Grit your teeth through its control quirks and camera foibles and relish the giddy spectacle of a game that doesn't know when to stop.

The Wonderful 101: Remastered doesn't do much to earn its "Remastered" distinction, but nonetheless, this is still absolutely the best way to experience one of the best action games of a generation.

The Wonderful 101 Remastered revives one of the Wii U’s most experimental games, but that doesn’t make it worth revisiting.
