60 fps confirmed, right?
Yes
This is a Platinum Games WiiU title we are talking about here. It will be great fun, but it's going to sell like shit.
As long as it beats Madworld numbers.
Fixed that for you. We worry about making the fun. You worry about the playing fun.
Let other people worry about the sales.
That has no bearing on how much enjoyment you will have with the game.
Don't you worry, I can assure you that fun is all I care about.

So, that's basically 2 games in a row from Nintendo that have a cartoonish presentation but were clearly made for adults. My nostalgia bone is being tickled here. Seriously.

Wii U finally starts to deliver the goods! Can't wait. Kamiya can do no wrong as is shown from time to time again.
Word!
Word!
Hideki, is that you? No, my mom is not available to answer my questions
I agree with the sentiment though, I want you guys to have commercial success but apart from buying a WiiU and the game AND participating in the threads over here (+ making one on another forum) there's no use torturing myself over it.
I sold my friend on this game yesterday
Fighting the good fight
I wish more of my friends were receptive.
Even those among them interested in the game are the ones who say "but I'm never buying a Wii U"

Since you're in here talking about sales, here's a commercial pitch for you:
Neil Patrick Harris dressed up as a super nerd/Mr. Wedgeworth (complete with thick glasses, cardigan, pocket protector and torn from wedgie tightie whities with a name like Rupert on the elastic) playing with W101 action figures while singing the intro theme song.
Jock approaches him with a line like "Look, Rupert likes to play with dolls!" Queue famous NPH eyeball twitch, squeaky THEY'RE ACTION FIGURES, punches the bully into orbit with Unite Fist, queue dragonbitchslap.gif + footage and logo...
ONE BEELION COPIES SOLD.
Nintendo handles the commercials.

bill is everywhere recently, dude comes back from japan and has a lot of catching up to do or something. also, this is great stuff! lots of attention to detail all over the place. could pass as a nintendo game for sure.

This is the kind of Wii U game I can appreciate. It's quirky and stands out from the others. I just hope it's meaty enough.

The Wonderful 101 is the most excited I've been for a game since Kid Icarus. I'm expecting it to be just as good!
Is a ~ 20hr game with tons of unlockables and design about replayability meaty enough?
Why yes, yes it is.

Was the trailer of an earlier build or is that really going to be the level of graphics for this game?
You aren't going to be that close to the characters during gameplay.

Wow. Best post I've ever read from a dev on this board.

Them dots are very useful when you're fighting hectic battles and the enemy scatters your civilians across the map, instead of trying to see where they all went on screen, you can look at the gamepad and see exactly where each one went represented by the dots.
So you can easily create a circle around them dots on the gamepad to gather them up as quickly and efficiently as possible to continue the battle and achieve a great score.
There's also the basic drawing shapes to create the weapons that seems fun and quick and easy to do. The dots will give you an idea of the strength of these weapons as you extend them out with the dots.
They are also using the gamepad in a unique way for when you go into a building to solve a puzzle. The gamepad will show you the view inside the building while the tv will display numbers on the roof of the building in which you have to match up and alter to open the door.
I'm sure there's more unique gamepad ideas we've yet to see and will probably see in the ND.

It wouldn't work.
When you form a weapon, its strength depends on how many civilians you have and when you draw(or use right stick), the length you use will use more and more civilians to build the power to your liking.

I honestly think Nintendo has recently been catering to Europe more because of low sales over there. To make them feel special(not saying you aren't!).
I think it'll either do alright, or become a surprise hit. This won't bomb hard.
I also think platinum was a perfect match to make the Wii u unique, since they are so creative. Smart on Nintendo, they both deserve each other.
that makes it even better. increase strength depending on how loud you yell. if only wiimotes had mics. would make for some funny multiplayer

That makes it worse, if you think about it.
JP, is there going to be a 60fps (and hopefully high bitrate) version of this latest trailer put up on platinumgames.com? Though I'd understand if that's something out of your control.
I'm still ruing the lack of proper 60fps versions of the E3 trailers for W101 and Bayonetta 2.

It really is amazingly fun, glad the marketing is finally picking up. Everyone should have this game on their radar! http://expansivedlc.com/the-wonderful-101-preview-why-every-serious-gamer-should-be-excited/

Voice commands could work, but it would take away depth to the gameplay and gamepad functions to where its not worth it.

I still feel like people should be more excited about this than they are, but I am glad that Nintendo is using Comic-Con as the time to start rolling out the marketing for this game. Let's see how the rest of the show goes for them. I know they are holding costume contests or something, which is mighty presumptuous, but a great idea.
lol
You don't deserve to play video games.
Someone start a miiverse campaign.

At least your bumping this thread for exposure.

It's a Nintendo game. There won't be a bargain bin until a couple years after their NEXT console is out.
It's not a franchise Nintendo game. ExciteTrucks is a Nintendo game, but you can get it for like 10 bucks.

Depends. 3Rd party efforts drop in price pretty fast.
