History Trivia / TheWonderful101

* ChannelHop: The original version was released by Nintendo exclusively for the Wii U, while the remastered ports were self-published by [=PlatinumGames=] for multiple platforms. While Platinum would officially credit this to "Nintendo's kindness", fans generally agree that it was part of the agreement that led to Nintendo [[https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/platinum-says-astral-chain-is-nintendos-ip-after-fans-notice-copyright-change/ gaining full ownership]] over the ''VideoGame/AstralChain'' IP shortly before the launch of the ''Remastered'' Kickstarter.

* ChannelHop: The original version was released by Nintendo, though the remastered ports were selfpublished by Platinum, with permission from Nintendo.

* ActorAllusion:
** Charlie Schlatter once again plays [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman a red-clad hero]], albeit a more serious-minded one.
** Creator/RogerCraigSmith as [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog a hero who loves to show off and is primarily associated with the color blue]]. And his nickname is The "'''Supersonic'''" Blade.
** During Wonder-Pink's introduction, Wonder-Blue refers to the spiky Gedie Dough-Goo they were dealing at the time as a "pain in the butt hedgehog".
** In the scene where Vijounne and Pink are throwing profane insults at one another, Vijounne calls Pink a "ditzy, cheerleader-looking, pom-pom-headed [BLEEP]". This is a reference to Pink's English voice actor, Creator/TaraStrong, also voicing zombie-hunting cheerleader [[VideoGame/LollipopChainsaw Juliet Starling]].
** This isn't the only time Creator/YuriLowenthal voiced [[VideoGame/AnarchyReigns a dual-wielding ninja who speaks English with a Japanese accent]].

* ApprovalOfGod: Despite being a Nintendo-funded IP, Nintendo allowed Platinum Games to port the game to other platforms for the remastered version through their kickstarter.
* AscendedMeme: Platinum leaned in a lot on the meme of Kamiya blocking people on Twitter, with one of the higher tiers being that you can personally be blocked by him, and one of the social goals promising that he'll clear his entire blocklist.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Not the game itself, but the Official Soundtrack. As of the end of 2016, it was delisted from digital storefronts. Physical copies were never made.

** There is [[http://the-wonderful-101.wikia.com/wiki/The_Wonderful_Ones_(Team)#Rejected_Designs a number]] of thought up Wonderful One concepts that did not make it into the final team. Among these are more color names -- Orange, Purple, Brown, etc -- but whether or not they were planned to be major mambers with their own weapon types as with the final color members is not known.

** The original product proposal was for the game to be a sister series to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' with 100 playable {{Nintendo}} characters at once. It was also going to have a darker artstyle rather than a colorful and cutesy artstyle.

* AcclaimedFlop: one of the more extreme examples of a PlatinumGames game getting this, even by their normal standards. Despite positive reception from critics, due to [[ScrewedByTheNetwork some questionable decisions by Nintendo worldwide]], the game bombed hard globally after 60,000 units in total sales in just two months. The game has since dropped down to half price at many American retailers due to low sales.

* ColbertBump: Music and main Wonderful One trophies featured in ''Super Smash Bros for the Wii U'' have helped give this game attention (and helped convince unsure people it's a first party Nintendo title).

* FanNickname: ''The Wonderful 101 Copies Sold''

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Nintendo gave this game very little marketing outside of Japan and then shipped thirty-thousand units in Japan alone. After about 5,000 units in one day of Japanese sales, the game went to sell near 3,500 more in the following week since launch, almost clearing a third of the initial shipment of units.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original product proposal was for the game to be a sister series to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' with 100 playable {{Nintendo}} characters at once. It was also going to have a darker artstyle rather than a colorful and cutesy artstyle.
