pretty sure everything, besides the star foxes and the tmnt game, are all successful. and even those three were 4 years ago.

also, the remaster of bayonetta and vanquish didn't need to be crowdfunded. why is wonderful 101 the exception

Vanquish was a commercial failure with a cult following (and it is pretty damn fun). I don't even know what infinite space is, TMNT games and star fox games and legend of korra and anarchy reigns, and mad world, and transformers devastation were all bad games that sold poorly. That's like half the list. Even the original bayo fell short of the sales they were hoping for. Wonderful 101 also had poor sales.

Neir:A was ONLY possible because of the guy behind it (Yoko Taro) and it was basically the last chance for platinum to avoid bankruptcy. The company has just barely been able to squeak by several times.

The platinum games we generally remember like MGR:R, bayo, and neir:A are the few successes they've had amidst quite a few failures. Games like vanquish and wonderful 101 are great games but they don't sell well.

As to why wonderful 101 has to be kickstarted, it's the companies first self-published title. I'm not sure that really caries too much weight in the modern digital world but thats their excuse.
