Okay.
The Wonderful 101 will release on PC, PS4, and Switch
Developer of The Wonderful 101, PlatinumGames, is currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter for the development of a remastered version of the game for the PC, PS4, and Switch. At the time of writing, the kickstarter campaign has raised just about $876,000 with over 13,000 backers.
“ Platinum’s Wonderful 101 Kickstarter has now surpassed its initial $500K USD top-end target, meaning the campaign’s initial three stretch goals have been unlocked. As such, Wonderful 101: Remastered will be heading to Switch, PS4, and Steam — and the developer has also revealed its next two stretch goals, promising a Time Attack mode at $1m and a “brand-new 2D side-scrolling adventure” known as Luka’s First Mission at $1.5m,” (Wales, 2020).

Legends Season 4 — Assimilation launches tomorrow, and with it comes a few big changes to the map World’s Edge. The Planet Harvester, a new rupture in Capitol City, and the Survey Camp, are new points of interest that will provide new ways to approach a match. Jason McCord, Design Director on the game, explains:
“ Our goal as Designers is to offer new ways for you to approach the game, and in this case the map, so that each drop, rotation, and gunfight feels as fresh as possible.”
