Wii U The Wonderful 101 - from Platinum - directed by Hideki Kamiya

[rgraves]

I can't see it going multi-platform because Nintendo have funded it and I'd guess maybe even own the IP.

[Steven]

I wasn't being serious.

My real bet would be some sort of compilation of a few things they've done this gen in cooperation with Sega, Vanquish, etc.

They shoot themselves in the foot every time they announce an announcement because, by the time it arrives, people have had time to whip themselves into a frenzy. All that comes of it is disappointment. Just announce things when your ready to announce them - then it might be a little bonus rather the the usual internet WTF??? IS THAT IT? backlash.

[Rudderless]

Spainkiller, there is this IGN UK preview where the journo says it felt like she was constantly fighting the controls. What's your opinion on that?

It's a fair point. I think it gets less problematic as you get used to it, but there are times when you'll try and draw something in a hurry and it'll come out as something else. It's not ruinous, just slightly annoying, though if you're smart you'll ensure you've got enough time and space to fix it. It might be more frustrating on the higher difficulties, mind.

[Manflurry]

Wonder Red in Smash Bros perhaps?

[Professor Puzzles]

When does this come out again, I don't think he's mentioned the release date enough.

[deKay]

The Wonderful 101 will be released August 23rd.

Did that just say demo up at 5pm, today? Don't kill me - but I could have sworn it flashed up right at the end.

[deKay]

Anyway, that looked AWESOME.

[pulsemyne]

DEMO! we get a demo today!

[Shimmyhill]

Anyone know when its being released, i watched the direct but no mention of it??

[dataDave]

I reckon Viewtiful Joe HD is a good shout... 16:9, HD. It would look *stunning*

HD-a-go-go baby!

That would have to be a Capcom announcement, and not a Platinum Games one.

[Steven]

Demo up in around an hour apparently.

[Vemsie]

Anyway, that looked AWESOME.

Indeed. Damn.

[SpagMasterSwift]

Will there be a Demo and when's this out?

[dataDave]

Fuck sake, stuff like this always happens when I'm away.

Enjoy the demo you fuckers.

[deKay]

Did that just say demo up at 5pm, today? Don't kill me - but I could have sworn it flashed up right at the end.

4pm UK time.

[Professor Puzzles]

I think the announcement is more likely to be 'there's a demo for you RIGHT NOW' than anything else.

That would be an odd thing to announce after the Nintendo Direct. Maybe it's not even Nintendo related.

It's an odd world, baby.

[Massive Invisible Dog]

It's an odd world, baby.

So they announced that after the Nintendo Direct and not as part of it?

[Steven]

4pm UK time.

Ahh - must have seen the CET. It flashed up and went off so quickly - what a great little bonus for once.

[Jonzo]

Oh my god a fucking demo of the Wonderful 101. Friday afternoon just got a lot longer.

[Vemsie]

Le trailer:

[Shimmyhill]

It's gone 4, where is the demo?

[Retroguy]

Goddamn it, that looks amazing. I'm seriously being tempted to get a Wii U now, just really for this, Pikmin and Monster Hunter. Wonder if they'll be any good deals on for the console before W101 is out.

[Chopsocky]

Looks incredible, getting a real Pixar vibe from this.

[deKay]

It's gone 4, where is the demo?

On the eShop.

[Shimmyhill]

I have it now, its one of those sill 15 times allowed to play things but i guess its out soon enough!

[dataDave]

but i guess its out soon enough!

Really, it isn't.

[Shimmyhill]

Quick blast on it, pad only - confusing as fuck but fun!

Totally stuck trying to open a damn door and had to stop, 1 down 14 to go!

[Professor Puzzles]

So they announced that after the Nintendo Direct and not as part of it?

That was what they announced and I said so and that makes me the winner!

[boybrown]

is the eShop playing up or is it my shit virgin connection?

edit - looks like my shite connection again. I'll try the download later
