Amazing when journalists actually produce some content. Is it just me or do you find content like this only on smaller sites nowadays?

I think a lot of people will feel this way. It's baffling to me why they did the release this way.

Looks awesome. But whats going on with the shadows of the team? Were they so... round and foggy before?
That was actually painful to watch... I get it that you don't need to be good at videogames to write about them, but jeez...

Videogames at his best. Pure fun.
It's entirely in the hands of Wii U owners now, who I presume are the hardest core of the Nintendo fandom.
If they cannot show up for this game and Bayonetta 2, then they will have proved the other tribes right and earned the bleak future the platform will undoubtedly suffer.
That was awful to watch but wow, this looks so good.
August can't come soon enough!

*Enters P* thread* *asks why game looks good*
Thanks, hadn't heard about any of that. I didn't even know that temporary heroes were different from The Wonderful 100. The nice thing about that godawful Nintendomination gameplay is that I got to see some of what you were talking about.
Actually, they showed off a list of heroes that on the Gamepad. It looked like you could select between them. Does anyone know what that does? Is it just for character switching, or do the non-playable members of The Wonderful 100 (e.g. Wonder-Wonderland and Wonder-Pierrot) have abilities we can use?

I think the main colors on the cover will be the playable characters. (Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, White and Black) while the rest of the 100 will be the permanent members of your force once you find and recruit them.(although maybe they do offer passive effects hence the choice on the pad)
I can't imagine what it would be like to create and balance 100 unique abilities for an action game of this supposed length.

Not to mention Resident fucking Evil 2.

I love how they insult the player for doing bad.
At 3:50, the newspaper says: "Where are our real heroes!?" along with giving the player a crappy rank.
Normally the paper says: "Our heroes done it again!" when you get a good rank.
It's like in Viewtiful Joe, when they called the player crappy for getting a C rank.
EDIT: I also noticed that there is a little minigame during the loading screen. Kamiya absolutely refuses to have us bored for even one second
Okami had a special minigame during its loading screen, and Bayonetta had a little training mode in that games loading screen. Gotta love the Kamiya tropes.

Can't wait for certain players to complain about feeling insulted by the ranking system.

"Do our heroes eat shit?"

I blame Viewtiful Joe for giving me an unhealthy lust for acing certain scenes/scenarios. I could never rainbow V/pure platinum/S-rank everything, but goddamnit anything less than an A-rank was a failure on my part.

One of the only Wii U games that looks like it's using the Game Pad properly, definitely want to get this.
They probably couldn't get away with it, but I'd love for Nintendo to just purposely dominate Summer. Like maybe put out a big title in Christmas but while everyone's releasing everything in August past just see Nintendo put out like Pokemon and this and these big bangers out in like April, June, July,

I got a CRAAAP once. I felt like I was hit with the worst Yo Mama joke of them all. Just pain and embarrassment that digs into your soul.
Nintendo.
That reminds me, in VJ2 one of the Chambers was unlocked by getting a "D'oh" rating. You kinda had to do bad on purpose. Like, really bad.
Well, in this case, Nintendo is just publishing it. Platinum is the one actually making it. People want Nintendo's in-house teams to make new IPs, including external 1st party developers like Retro Studios and there's Monolith Soft too (which has been making new IPs)
at the end of the day all that truly matters is that they belong to nintendo so it's still a new ip
Nintendo is having trouble transitioning to HD, their internal studios have their hands full with the core franchises as it is.
As a third party Platinum probably offers the best bang for buck out there. They deliver indisputable quality on schedule and within budget. Look at the magic they worked for Metal Gear Rising with just about a year of development time. It makes sense that Nintendo would want to tap Platinum to diversify the lineup right now.

They're funding it and own it, thus it's an original IP from Nintendo. It doesn't matter that a third party is actually the developer. They have had tons of third parties work on their IPs over the years (Star Fox, Zelda, F-Zero, DK, etc.), including ones that never existed prior (ex: Eternal Darkness). Those games are all still first party despite being developed by third parties.
Bayonetta, maybe. W101 is unlikely imo. Nintendo just doesn't seem to be pushing it hard at all, though they might just be waiting until after pikmin 3.
mmm....pikmin 3....
Well that is usually the case. They push out one game at a time. I really want them to push TW101 really hard.

What isn't so funny is that Nintendo - as usual - sends this out to die for no reason. Can't blame people too much (although at least several people on a board like this should be aware before bitching) when Nintendo's marketing team does a piss poor job of promoting anything other than Mario lately. Even it's presentation during the E3 Direct was done terribly.
Sadly I doubt this is gonna happen. Tell your friends to buy it people, Nintendo will likely only give a shit about promoting Pikmin.
I never really thought that any game would beat out a new 3-D Mario platformer in terms of excitement for me. From Mario 64 all the way up to Galaxy 2 they've always consistently been the beacons that I look forward to in my gaming year.
So weird to think of how much that's changed. Wonderful 101 is the one thing I MUST get onto my system as soon as it comes out.

The game isn't out for what, 3 months in the U.S?
It is also a colorful, cartoony game from a developer which has never had a ton of commercial success.
I also expect a decent push in Japan (a W101 Direct has already been confirmed).
Nintendo funding a new IP from a very niche, very core oriented developer, and then having people bitch about it not selling 3 months before release strikes me as whining for the sake of whining.

Nintendo published, funded and pushed both platinum titles at E3 and other events, they obviously care about them, Especially since they are two of the most anticipated and exclusive titles on Wii U.
Im not worried that they at least will try to advertise them .

Haha. That would be great but the real reason is because they don't want pikmin and w101 in the same month. Why it's releasing on the 15th and not earlier though is beyond me.
