This needs to be captioned with something....

"Respect DAWG" or "Respect bro" or "My man".

[ahdurian]

it's like Viewtiful Joe Cross Pikmin
oh god...

[Chet Rippo]

It looks Viewtiful

[Alx]

I only watched the gifs and I already enjoy it a lot... I love the animations in this game, they never fail to make me smile (from the beginning, I fell in love with the pudding and slinky moves).
Will enjoy the trailer later tonight. :)

[TreIII]

This was the game that sold me on the Wii U. Even Bayo2, as much as I want it, has to take second fiddle for now!

[D_prOdigy]

Just to be clear, are people arguing it shouldn't be full price because of the camera angle or what?

Because they eat shit.

[Koomaster]

This looks incredibly charming and fun. I'm ready to board whatever hype train is taking off for this game. Where do I buy my ticket?!

[Nocturnowl]

I feel almost ashamed for only having a small bit of excitement for this game before this trailer, now I know that I should never have held any doubt in my heart, it looks absolutely bananas in the best way possible.

These people are the trash of the gaming community. Fuck them.

[Hero of Legend]

Nice boost in graphics! :D You can even see they added normal mapping to the characters in the close-up at the end! This actually looks close to next-gen, there's hardly a graphical flaw to me, hardly. :P

[KeasbyKnight]

Why I bought a Wii U.

[Herbspicesoy]

Wow, I bet they had a lot of fun designing this game. Really looks like a labor of love.

[SpookyBlackFish]

Just to be clear, are people arguing it shouldn't be full price because of the camera angle or what?

Wh-what? I hope not! I would not want to live in such a world!

[Beckx]

Why I bought a Wii U.

Same here. And the console game I'm most excited about for this year. Very glad we got to see more today.

Need to gif the water slide at the end. Never mind, just saw it. :)

[dragonlife]

This looks better and better each time there's new information. It looks like a blast to play, and it's just so damn cute and charming.

I hate quoting myself but:

For those interested in the game, this is a must-watch video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9YjceHWgC8

Seeing this really makes me hope the person who Kamiya had a beef with wasn't at Nintendo. Looks like a wonderful title.

I think Inaba would have chewed him out if he was implying that their current benefactor is treating them badly.

[marc^o^]

Wii U exclusives are all awesome, but this one is my favorite.

[Neiteio]

I think Inaba would have chewed him out if he was implying that their current benefactor is treating them badly.

What's the tweet in question?

[TruePrime]

I think Inaba would have chewed him out if he was implying that their current benefactor is treating them badly.

Well that hasn't really stopped him in the past really. Still point taken.

Honestly though at this point I'm more hyped for the Iwata Asks with Kamiya then any game on Wii U.

[Neiteio]

Iwata: "Kamiya-san, tell us about your role in this game."

Kamiya: "You do it."

[Iwata laughs]

Iwata: "Seriously, though--"

Kamiya: "I'll answer next week. In game magazines."

[Iwata laughs]

Kamiya: "STOP LAUGHING! FUCK OFF!"

[Code_Link]

Woah, hadn't payed attention to this, but now I need it!

[Joeshabadoo]

current most-anticipated WiiU game, even after todays ND. yes it looks that good

[TreIII]

Iwata: "Kamiya-san, tell us about your role in this game." Kamiya: "You do it." [Iwata laughs] Iwata: "Seriously, though--" Kamiya: "I'll answer next week. In game magazines." [Iwata laughs] Kamiya: "STOP LAUGHING! FUCK OFF!"

Iwata: "What would you consider the most challenging aspect of making this game?"

Kamiya: "Ask your Mom."

[TruePrime]

Iwata: "What would you consider the most challenging aspect of making this game?" Kamiya: "Ask your Mom."

While I love joking Kamiya the fact he is so frank and up front makes the idea of Iwata interviewing so awesome, it could very easily get us info about stuff we wouldn't ever know about plus bring a whole new flavor to the Asks.

[EdgeXL]

I can't wait to play this!

[ChiefofCitadelSecurity]

Looks cool, like the Saturday morning cartoonyness of it.

[Fimbulvetr]

Hmm. At one point of the trailer, green dude fires a bazooka instead of his standard pistol.

[Neiteio]

Hmm. At one point of the trailer, green dude fires a bazooka instead of his standard pistol.

I think I saw him fire a crossbow in previous media, as well. I suspect his firearm changes at points.

[Tiktaalik]

This looks like a ton of fun.

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Christ that looks good, just pump it into my veins. Love the insane looking action and vibrant Pixar like art style

[Neiteio]

How is this not one of everyone's most anticipated games? It really, truly, looks perfect. The bosses, the city, the action, the humor. So crisp, so colorful. GAH I WANT THIS NOW.

The hype is even greater after the amazing MGRR demo and the addictive Anarchy Reigns. I wouldn't be surprised if Bayo 2 made it out this year, as well.

2013 -- The Year of Platinum.

[Zeer0id]

I love how he actually teased a Kamiya edition of Iwata Asks, just knowing how desperately we all want it.

I think I might be more excited for the Iwata Asks than the game itself.

I didn't watch the Direct proper -- what did they say exactly about an Iwata Asks?

And HNNNNNNG my giant robots/creature feature nerd is geeking something FIERCE.

[Rez]

looks rad.

... In that case how you feel about X? Pretty surprised no ones in this thread, everyone must be freaking out over X still

[Hasardeur]

alright, the water slide sold me

[ShadowgeistX]

There's apparently going to be an Iwata Asks for Inaba, and Iwata stated his interest in doing one with Kamiya.

[Save 'N Quit]

In Platinum I trust.

Love the Viewtiful Joe vibe from this game.

[Neiteio]

... In that case how you feel about X? Pretty surprised no ones in this thread, everyone must be freaking out over X still

X looks fantastic. :) Different flavor of creatures -- more dinosaurian and/or insectile, with a MonHun-style grit -- but amazing all the same.

I just prefer the creatures in TW101 -- remind me of Bayonetta angels mixed with Viewtiful Joe bosses. So much style!

The gold-and-ivory hydra being the coolest so far!

[Whiskeymatt]

Dear god I NEED THIS GAME NOW. It looks wonderful.

This and the main character(?) need to be in SSB4 in some way.

[Neiteio]

Wish we had the names of the three main heroes (red guy, blue guy and green guy). The three of them would be great in Smash Bros.

Maybe they could move together like the Ice Climbers, and command other heroes like Olimar and his Pikmin?

[Dynamite Ringo Matsuri]

Agreed. I love the cool looking monster designs. That metal hydra reminds me of Mecha King Ghidora kinda

[InsanerBrainer]

Yup. Platinum's done it again!

[Neiteio]

Agreed. I love the cool looking monster designs. That metal hydra reminds me of Mecha King Ghidora kinda

YES! Mixed with a bit of Fortitudo from Bayonetta. :)

That battle looks crazy, too -- on a rooftop, on its back (?), falling through the air, on the airship, etc. Even the gorilla cyborg guy gets involved!

Reminds me of SoTC expanded. Where the boss comprises a mini level all its own. (similar to goW 3's opening but looks much more complex)) That's the vibe I got from the video. I got hyped from seeing the mid air fight against the mech while your heroes used fighter jets as platforms. Game looks like its gonna have a lot of variety and seems like an excellent use of set pieces without sacrificing gameplay, something so many games this gen dropped the ball on

Absolutely! And action aside, the world just looks GREAT. Like the water slide bit at the end -- I love all the details on the rooftop, like the solar arrays, the wind turbine, the air conditioners, etc.

In fact, look at any given area shown in the trailer -- every corner of the city looks unique. Lots of gleaming whites, yes, but I don't see any repeating shops or fixtures. Lots of unique stores, parks, malls, etc.

It's like a massive toy playset. Rich in detail, top to bottom. :)

Yes. This is precisely what I missed so much this gen, Japanese style games and unique art styles, games that are unashamed to be nothing more than expressions of pure fun. Between this and Pikmin 3, I'm elated. I hope X brings some more color to its palette as well, but I'm sure we haven't seen anything if its scale is taken into consideration.
