Always bet on Platinum 
They're probably the only one who could've taken this concept and turn it into something this fun looking.

Wow, what in the fuck was I smoking? Nintendo's E3 negativity around these parts must have been some dank ass shit if I was saying that about Kamiya/Platinum. =/
This game is incredible looking.

I stand by my disappointment that Kamiya wasn't working on Bayo 2 considering we had no idea what was coming.
I bowed to my Platinum overlords a few months later.
I think being disappointed by a director change is totally understandable. Unfortunately most of the outrage didn't stem from such a reasonable position.

You should pat yourself on the back, because your post was a heck of a lot saner than the filth in that thread.
I posted this in the reveal thread when the game was first unveiled:
Holy shit I'm a fucking idiot. Though thankfully I didn't say anything as dumb as some of the other posts in that thread. Platinum Games has my $60 dollars.

See that "Leader" circle that appears under the leader character? I totally told Kamiya to add that.
Actually I tweeted at him (after playing the game last year) telling him that it was sometimes hard to see your character when you had to do something delicate (like walk across a chain attached between a giant robot's arms).
He said the game was still being worked on.
But I'm going to go ahead and take credit anyway.

Just watched the Direct. My interest in the game rose quite a bit. Looks to have more depth than I was expecting.
Also, Kamiya's Iwata impersonation was funny, and he even plugged his Twitter. Poor unsuspecting souls....

Any doubts anyone had about The Wonderful 101 were laid to rest this morning. If you still have doubts, what's wrong with you?

I think Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 are enough for me to go get a Wii

Played the demo 2 times. Looks amazing. It takes some time to adjust to the controls.This is one of those games that is easy to play but will be damned hard to master.So... It's a real Platinum game

Despite this I'm still not going to watch the new trailer or download the demo, I only have to wait a fortnight (and it coincides with a holiday off work to boot), but hearing all this excitement and positiveness, particularly from previous doubters, is really heartwarming.
But man I want to see this.

Just watch the intro to the direct and shut it off before they get into the game footage.

Wow
That trailer was REALLY FUCKING GOOD
The reveals in the Direct about the depth of gameplay are awesome too.
Can't wait for whenever the game is supposed to come out. GIVE US A RELEASE DATE ALREADY

Man it's just hitting me that 101 is an action game.
I think in alot of discussions that we have on here about action games, we tend to categorize them into one of two camps. "Combo games" and "combat games". DMC being the poster child of the former and Ninja Gaiden the latter, with every game following those two being compared to them. (Bayonetta is a DMC game. RIsing is like Ninja Gaiden etc.) Every game that doesn't fit those two groups doesn't seem to be talked about as much or held in as high of regard.(VJ. God Hand, Sengoku Basara)
but man when I saw multiple unite morphs it just hit me that there's still so much room for innovation and growth beyond those two molds. 101 looks like a one player marvel game, where you have access to 7 different assists at the same time(with repeats allowed) with a ratio system balanced around a resource.
Like I'm just floored not only by this concept actually existing, but that it appears so fleshed out, complex and deep. I can only imagine what they'd come up with if given the chance to refine this idea further in a sequel.
Seems weird saying this before the game is even out but I'm just glad to see a game prove that there's still tons of room for innovation and new experimental mechanics within the mold of an action game. I don't know about you guys but Platinum has already completely destroyed any previous expectations I had for this title.
Right now as a fan of the action game genre I'm extremely happy that this game exists and I can't wait to play it. Completely revived my fading interest in these games.
This better do well. Ideas like this need to succeed.

It takes a big man to put himself on blast.
Just finished the story mode in the demo and I thought it was really good. The game just looks amazing and I really like how it uses the gamepad. There seems to be tons of different ways of dispatching enemies and I already noticed myself planning how I am going to better myself the next time I go through the stage - only got Silver ranking!
I think the demo included some single missions which I shall have to tackle tomorrow.

Definitely dude.
I know I won't need next gen for a minute with those two on the horizon. I can see myself pouring hundreds of hours into both without getting bored if the combat is as deep and open as it seems.
Yeah, I think the most impressive part of the direct at a gameplay level was when the unite switching was done, it was one of those amazing moments of clarity in which your brain goes "This is new" but the new concept is so obvious that you are already thinking of applications and combinations for it. Truly the first time ive been watching a next-gen game in the last two years.
The best part is, I think they are trying to do something similar with Bayonetta 2 considering the second character, Kamiya is breaking ground.

I believe it is Transylvania.
Edit: Romanian to be exact. Transylvania is just a region.
Translyvanian.

I must say. The Direct certainly got me interested in the game.
Trailer was pretty hype aswell.
As for Kamiya. He's back on Twitter.
@Turtwig: why does Iwata's face turn red whenever you're with him?
@PG_kamiya 1u :You know why. RT
