some 101 with my breakfast tomorrow I guess

excited!

 

[Neiteio]

Is there a high-res version of that art with just the seven main heroes?

Also, do we know what the black kid does?

 

[DaBoss]

After this, I'm gonna go on a blackout for this game.

Pretty hyped for this.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I'm ready for this...
I'M READY!

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Direct of the Year.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Also, do we know what the black kid does?

black superhero? Good guess he has electric powers

or spits mad lyrics, yo

 

[Spinluck]

What to expect: Cool Wonderful 101 info and stuff/launch trailer/MP info/online?

What not to expect: Wonder Red in Smash, would it be nice? Yes. But don't expect it.

What should not even be on your mind: Other games besides W101, might as well not even watch this Direct if you want info on other games lol.

I am following these steps tonight. Game looks fun.

[BlackJace]

[zroid]

waking up to this will be sooooooo sweet

 

[Brainiac 8]

Would someone with shopping skills wonder eyes Luigi?

Thanks!

 

[ZSaberLink]

Hm, let's see how this Direct goes. I was surprised when they announced this Direct at yesterday's direct, but it's good they're finally having it.

 

[abstract alien]

Lmao at the black kid with braids and a backwards hat. I dig it.

 

[Neiteio]

Lmao at the black kid with braids and a backwards hat. I dig it.

Still hoping out hope for Wonder Chris Tucker.

Rush Hour 3 was good, but no Rush Hour 2.

 

[Grakl]

new metroid please

 

[NIN90]

Nintendo Direct inflation.

 

[TDLink]

Is there a high-res version of that art with just the seven main heroes?

Also, do we know what the black kid does?

They haven't officially revealed Wonder Yellow, White, or Black yet. So we aren't entirely sure on those 3. (Though Yellow at least seems sort of obvious)

 

[abstract alien]

new metroid please

I am beyond lost right now...

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Wonder Black <3

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Kirby=Wonder Green

 

[Mr. X]

I am excite

 

[Outtrigger888]

Also, do we know what the black kid does?

Since it shows him playing on what looks like a 3ds, I'm guessing he has telekinesis powers. That might not make sense at first, but he plays on a handheld, because he doesnt need a weapon, since he has...yah, already mentioned it.

That, or he is a gadget guy. I'm not sure how that would work.

How do you picture people uniting into his... uh, telekinesis powers?

Maybe he plant bombs made up of the other heroes. He remotely detonates them and they scatter all over the place.

SUPER CRAZY.

 

[javac]

Going to be out all day tomorrow guys Going to come home very late but I hope to snuggle in bed and watch this when I get back

 

[cafemomo]

I think Kamiya is gonna be it in.

 

[Tenki]

Kamiya is going to sell me an already preordered game.

 

[Outtrigger888]

SUPER CRAZY.

Good call. I'm not sure, but they are my two guesses!

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I'm going to miss the airing and won't be back until the afternoon because I'm attending 2 graduations.
I wonder what the end surprise is; the hype train cannot stop.

 

[zroid]

I think Kamiya is gonna be it in.

i hope so, and i also hope the iwata asks goes up immediately after the direct

 

[Outtrigger888]

I think Kamiya is gonna be it in.

Im 99% sure.

Someone on twitter asked if he was going to be in it, he replied: "Make sure you watch ;p"

 

[Neiteio]

I wonder how shiny Kamiya's head will be

 

[Outtrigger888]

I wonder how shiny Kamiya's head will be

slick, squeaky clean, polished, platinum style.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I'm going to watch this even though I've been day one since that January direct.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

They haven't officially revealed Wonder Yellow, White, or Black yet. So we aren't entirely sure on those 3. (Though Yellow at least seems sort of obvious)

Yup. They've shown his Wonder Morph in screenshots for the multiplayer.

 

[javac]

I want funny Kamiya X Iwata antics. Iwata with the Mask on. 100 Iwata's photoshoped into the background pledging allegiance to Reggie.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

I am buying so many games this coming couple of months that I will have no time to play. Alas day 1 Kamiya, day 1

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Online multiplayer.

That won't be it but it'd be amazing.

Wrong thread, was supposed to be in the other thread about this game though.

 

[Outtrigger888]

They haven't officially revealed Wonder Yellow, White, or Black yet. So we aren't entirely sure on those 3. (Though Yellow at least seems sort of obvious)

white morphs into bear like claws(im pretty sure, at least one claw), and has a karate persona.

 

[TheOGB]

Henshin a go-go, baby.

wait a minute

Make sure to watch it all the way through, because there might just be an exciting new announcement at the end!

hype reaching critical mass!

 

[Usobuko]

Will watch for the game and Kamiya.

 

[Battle Born]

I'll watch this. It's going to be a very exciting Direct.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Platinum games has made some of my favorite games of all time, and are one of the few developers around who approach from a game mechanics first perspective.

I cant buy day 1, but as soon as I pick up a Wii U I'll play this as soon as possible. Gonna watch and savor that these pros are back at what they do best: inventive, skill based action gameplay.
