Update: Now with a fresh trailer! Developer PlatinumGames recently got a bit of a cash injection through a partnership with Tencent. They’ve also successfully kick-started a remaster of their underappreciated gem, Wonderful 101.

The confirmation comes courtesy of Matt Casamassina’s blog on IGN, who defended Madworld developers Platinum games saying – “Usually, lack of 480p support can be credited to developer laziness. No way such a claim can be leveled at …
PlatinumGames, the developers of Mad World, have stated that at the moment there aren’t any plans to release Mad World in any of the censorship heavy countries like Germany, Australia or Japan… I didn’t even know Japan was censorship heavy.
