[Kinsei]

I'm way more hyped for this than I should be. It's after midnight and I'm not asleep yet.

 

[GDGF]

Keyword: might

That's a marketing "might".

Somethings gonna happen.

WONDER-GAF: UNITE HYPE

 

[Brainiac 8]

This could very well be Platinum's attempt at a new Viewtiful Joe style game.

It looks amazing.

 

[foxuzamaki]

oh man, guess ill go to bed in around 2 hours

 

[zroid]

Would someone with shopping skills wonder eyes Luigi?

Thanks!

quick & dirty, but hopefully it gets the job done

I was too lazy to distort/transform the mask to fit the angled perspective. Oh wells, good enough!

 

[Brainiac 8]

Fantastic! Thanks a bunch!

 

[Padawan of Windu]

Kamiya direct,yesss! And surprise ending? Mmm.mm....

 

[TheChits]

I need this. I neeeeeeeeeed it

 

[CrimsonCommie]

It's gonna be another early morning for me. Can't wait for this game!

 

[Haines]

maybe the announcement is the sales promo im hoping for.

 

[Regiruler]

Fantastic! Thanks-a bunch!

I had to do it. sorry.

 

[Kinsei]

If someone would be so kind as to wonder-eyes my poogie I'd be ever so grateful. I tried to do it myself but the results were not pretty.

maybe the announcement is the sales promo im hoping for.

You mean something like the FE:A + SMTIV promotion? That would be great.

 

[methodman]

Just bought pikmin 3 from the eshop. Can't wait to cop this too.

 

[TDLink]

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

Is there any actual evidence of this apart from his official art which shows him wearing claws?

Even then, I still am not sure how a Unite Claws would work and be different from Unite Fist and Hammer. Just faster? There has to be something more to it, especially utility wise...

 

[GulAtiCa]

Looking forward to this

 

[Air]

I'm pretty excited for this.

 

[coinoperatedboy]

I may need to start dealing (again) so I can have enough finances this fall.

So stoked for this!

 

[DaSorcerer7]

lets du dis

 

[Mariolee]

This game has gone from zero to hero since the beginning of this year, no pun intended. Quite excited for this Direct. I also miscalculated, I thought I would get the Direct at 5:00 AM but its actually 9:00 AM!

 

[abstract alien]

<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Best I could do with an online photo editor at work.

Wonderfully excited, and viewtifully ready!

 

[AniHawk]

so what do you think the surprise ending will be? nes-styled w101 minigame in animal crossing?

 

[Boss Doggie]

10 pm again

 

[gngf123]

3pm here.

It's going to be good, hyped.

Nintendo's obviously going to announce that they've bought Platinum Games. And Atlus.

Them having Platinum and rotating their releases with Retro would be insane. I'm so down, should the day come lol

 

[Hermii]

If you read the Iwata Asks Platinum games it was all about how much Platinum loved to be independent.

I thought the mention of Atlus at the end made it obvious that I was just joking. :3

and nintendo can give them that independence once platinum's working for nintendo.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Kamiya did praise how Nintendo respected their creativity, iirc.

 

[Hypron]

They'll still be restricted to work on a single platform (well, 2 of them really), with an entity above them having a say in everything they do. That's not really independence, regardless of how nice Nintendo is.

 

[LaNaranja]

Color me excited!

<- Also I suuuuuck at editing photos.

Who knows, maybe you don't get to know the real meaning of independence until you get to work with Ninty as 1st party.

pretty much this. they'll have access to star fox, f-zero, star tropics, and a number of other old franchises they can choose to work on.

 

[Dang0]

Figured I better post this here, for those who missed it.

The special announcement will be made after the Nintendo Direct, not during it. They updated the blog post as well.

So the announcement won't be in the direct, it'll be right after. This may mean that its not specific to nintendo, maybe an unannounced next gen game?

i wonder if they're splitting off from nintendo and going third-party.

nintendo never needed them anyway.

Platinum Games working on fucking Ice Climbers.

 

[ASTROID2]

Almost forgot tomorrow was Friday. I gotta get to bed so I can wake up.

 

[Bill Rizer]

How many W101 threads are going on??? I'm seeking four at least!!
Hope game sales will reflect this much interest!!

 

[Rvaisse]

We've been waiting for this one ^^
New gameplay, Wonder iwata, announcement, Kamiya-san ... surprises..
If you wanna know what the surprise is :
Ask your mom !

Zis is gonna be gud !

 

[Kouriozan]

This thread needs more Wonderful One avatar.
Anyway, 5 hours 10 mins left, hyped!

 

[Nibel]

This will be awesome

Reminds me of capitalism.

 

[tolkir]

Wonderful 101 Direct + Platinum announcement.

 

[abstract alien]

Platinum Games working on fucking Ice Climbers.

I could see this getting a bigger backlash than Bayonetta 2.

Then I can see the video of ice climbers tandem play mechanics. Platinum style.

Looks like they changed their blog post a little bit after this

After the Nintendo Direct is over though, don’t turn off the Internet just yet, because we’ll have a little something extra to announce shortly after!

[Riki]

It's still likely Nintendo related if they're teasing and announcing it right after a Nintendo Direct.
