Legitimate contender for game of the year by the looks of this Direct.

 

[Bleep]

This game looks ridiculously amazing! Kamiya has one of the best track records of any game director.

 

[A Human Becoming]

So no demo for NA? Curse you NoA!

 

[lamaroo]

I wonder if people understand this is an action game yet.

 

[bobbychalkers]

So, real talk, being able to chain multiple unite attacks in sync with combos is kind of a big deal.

Yeah, that caught me off guard hence my "This changes everything" post.

Subliminal marketing?

 

[Beach Head]

This might be the game that pushes me over the edge to get a wiiu.

 

[espher]

I am speechless after that trailer.

 

[nintendoman58]

DEMO?!? Why was this not in the NA stream?

*goes to check Wii U eshop*

 

[olimpia84]

Demo? I called it!!!

 

[Hedja]

They had to spoil a bit of the story because people wouldn't get interested otherwise. We know so little of the game. Now however, we know there's a story and it doesn't seem as empty as we once thought. We don't know the full story either, just bits. There may be better bits. So we might buy it out of curiosity. Simple.

 

[Usobuko]

My faith in this game has been rewarded, I don't mind the constant 9/15 repetition of release dates.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

It's a Kamiya game, don't care about the story.

Okami had a decent story.

 

[StayDead]

W101 demo coming in 40mins for Japan.

Where did it actually say this? I missed that completely

 

[sonicmj1]

Awesome trailer. This Direct is the first time I've felt like I can actually see what the game is, and it looks awesome. I look forward to buying it whenever I get a Wii U.

It may contain a ton of plot beats, but some of my favorite game trailers are loaded with spoilers, like this Zone of the Enders 2 trailer.

 

[Kacho]

The Wii U will finally have a good game. *cries*

 

[Sinthetic]

Definitely way too much footage shown. My fault for not stopping myself haha.

White looks AWESOME, as does the lady crew member.

Can't wait to try this out.

 

[Schnozberry]

So no demo for NA? Curse you NoA!

Closer to release, I'm guessing.

 

[Air]

Game looks spectacular.

 

[BruiserBear]

Feel like I just played the whole game.

 

[Baron Aloha]

So what was the surprise?

And is this game 100% locked down exclusive? Or could they port later to the PS4 using the track pad and Xbox One using Kinect/Voice Commands (say "Wonderize Hammer" to make the hammer and so forth).

Game looks really good.

 

[L Thammy]

I'm sorry, demo? When's that?

 

[frankie_baby]

Platinum cleared that up. The surprise is coming after this Nintendo Direct, not at the end of it. It means that the surprise could be coming in a few days or weeks from now.

the surprise is the demo I assume

 

[digita1alchemy]

Man, what a refreshing looking game. It deserves to move consoles.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

There doesn't seem to be many people watching the streams, unfortunately.

2k people. This game is gonna bomb horribly

 

[McLovin]

Can't wait to buy this for my Wii, will the game come bundled with the Wii U controller?

 

[Twenty7KVN]

So, real talk, being able to chain multiple unite attacks in sync with combos is kind of a big deal.

Yea that's pretty fucking awesome.Can't wait to see some combo videos.

 

[Hypron]

So, real talk, being able to chain multiple unite attacks in sync with combos is kind of a big deal.

Yeah. I actually said "FUCK. YEAH." out loud when that came up. This game is going to be freaking great.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

The Wii U will finally have a good game. *cries*

What???

 

[chaosblade]

Looks pretty neat. Will probably pick it up eventually.

 

[methodman]

oh man, the sword to gun to hammer combo was so awesome. 5 in a row sounds insane as fuck

 

[Neon_Icarus]

So when is W101 being released again?

...

Just kidding. The game looks like a lot of fun btw. Now to download the demo...

 

[trixx]

Demo? Oh hell yes.

 

[Revven]

I... don't know what to say. I'm just going to try and forget all the story spoilers for the next month so I can enjoy the game and think I never saw any of it. (I've done it before for other games).

But HOLY SHIT. If the demo is coming to NA today I'll def. download it and try it out!

 

[Grakl]

Best fucking trailer.

 

[Haines]

awesome

 

[KennyLinder]

August 23rd cannot come soon enough! (my birthday too, double yay!)

 

[Schnozberry]

2k people. This game is gonna bomb horribly

Most of the direct views come from Youtube, not the live stream.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

It is coming later for PS4. Ask your mom when.

Spoiler

haha, the game is funded by Nintendo iIRC correctly. As kamiya mentioned, if you want this on other platforms, you might as well be asking for Zelda or Mario too

 

[Shauni]

So, was the demo the little something extra that was talked about? Or was that just part of the direct in certain areas?

 

[Jethro]

Wonderful Trailer and Demo is neat too

 

[zroid]

 

[frankie_baby]

no august 23rd, it said so like 4 times in the direct

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

NoA better get a demo damnit!

 

[LordJim]

This trailer was like a condensed experience of all the superhero cartoons, Kamen Rider shows, sentai shows and mecha series I have ever seen.
With crazy combos I have to DRAW.

Nintendo should just release a 'Platinum Box' bundle

 

[Diddy Kong]

This game is going to be amazing!!!!

 

[mrmickfran]

Oh Em Gee

Was that a Pummel Duel???!!!!

Oh I missed you so much. I was disappointed when Metal Gear Rising didn't have one . It's been a Platinum Games tradition since God Hand!

For those who don't know what a pummel duel is:

My body is even more ready

It sucks that I don't have a Wii U yet. I realllly want to try that demo

100% locked down exclusive. Nintendo funded the game, thus making it a Nintendo IP.

Nintendo owns the ip. Get a wii u

 

[PixyJunket]

Did anyone else get goose-bumps?

YES. No joke, all up my arms.

THIS. This right here is a video game in its purest form.
