Its been almost four years since Bayonetta 3 was announced as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, and since then? Nary a peep from developer Platinum Games, who have been very busy working on all manner of other projects in addition to a threequel starring the sultry witch with the longest of legs and a fondness for high-heel firepower.

It's official! The Wonderful 101 is coming to Nintendo Switch, PC and PlayStation 4 as fans hungry for the Platinum Games cult classic just can't stop throwing money at the studio over on their Kickstarter page.
