I assume you haven't actually played the game.

That looks like a GameCube game to you? You might want to get your eyes checked.

You're right. It's nowhere near as good as this:

And this screenshot has the crappy old IGN artifacting going on.

At least Samus has fingers.

 

[Himself]

Can't wait to get my filthy American fingers on this.

 

[Nibel]

Bring the game to PS4, Xbox and PC, Platinum, and you shall have sales.

Nintendo funded the development of both TW101 and Bayonetta 2

 

[fearme]

Can't wait to buy it! Japonese have strange tastes anyway.

 

[gngf123]

I'll never understand this image. Nobody ever promoted TW101 as something that could save the system, we always knew it would be a great game that would find a small niche that love it.

Bayonetta 2 to PS4 please.

I have a Wii-U but I rather have it on a next gen console.

Okay yeah, I'm just going to leave the thread now.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Bring the game to PS4, Xbox and PC, Platinum, and you shall have sales.

Yes, Nintendo is known for bringing their IPs to the PC/ PS4 and Xbox

 

[Bishop89]

Good thing ubi made rayman multiplat, would have bombed hard.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

Hmmm, that NA release date probably isn't looking so hot right about now.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

You're right. It's nowhere near as good as this:

You should quit while you aren't ahead, you are embarrassing yourself.

 

[SmokyDave]

Oh, they can. They just won't. I am tired of trying to figure out why. I believe Iwata stated he thinks the concept of Wii U has been explained/marketed enough. Fucking baffling.

It has been explained. People just don't want it.

 

[Tain]

getting hella outsold by Anarchy Reigns, huh?

 

[Coffee Dog]

You're right. It's nowhere near as good as this:

Really, just stop before you get banned, junior. You're trolling horribly and walking a risky path.

 

[Spieler Eins]

You're right. It's nowhere near as good as this:

lol. The characters might be weak, but are tiny in gameplay. The environments look amazing in W101.

 

[Brazil]

Not surprising since the game looks like a Gamecube-era game:


Graphics may not matter to you, but the general populace that games on consoles generally do.

The game actually looks pretty good and runs at 60 FPS.

 

[KennyLinder]

• It's a weird game nobody asked for
• Most reviews complained about the awkward controls which for a combat game is not good
• It's on a dead platform
• It's quite similar to Pikmin 3
• Nobody gives a fuck
• (I really like the game)

 

[Yawnier]

Yep, that is what I meant rofl.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

You're right. It's nowhere near as good as this:

I would stop right here and right now...

You're a junior and mindless trolling for juniors can be devastating.

 

[Trogdor1123]

Im not really surprised myself. The game looks pretty lame to me. I know that lots of Gaf seems to love it but I just think it looks meh at best. Different strokes for different folks it would seem.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

It bombs because the WiiU bombs. That's why third parties either ditch the system, or drop their exclusives (I.E. Rayman, Deus Ex, etc).

Deus Ex was never an exclusive,this is a port of a game that came out on three platforms.

 

[Mysterious]

I'll never understand this image. Nobody ever promoted TW101 as something that could save the system, we always knew it would be a great game that would find a small niche that love it.

I think that image was in response to someone posting a list of games that will "save" the Wii U, and Wonderful101 was one of them.

I would stop right here and right now...

You're a junior and mindless trolling for juniors can be devastating.

I'm not trolling. I geniunely think Metroid Prime looks better than Wonderful101.

 

[Kater]

Is the japanese market even the right market for it? I don't want to defend those terrible sales numbers but couldn't it also be just the style that japanese people are not all too much into. It's pixar-esque in some way (the characters), maybe that isn't what the people there look for in a game? And it is also a new IP.
And yeah, the small userbase of the Wii U doesn't help either but it will be interesting to see the numbers from the release week in western regions.

 

[Into]

Why is Mario crossed here?

NSMB U

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Holy shit.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Hold up it appears #14 on the media create chart which isn't half bad even for the first week. Perhaps it will pick up overtime.

 

[methodman]

These threads are always such a mockery of gaf rules. Every other poster asking for w101 and bayonetta2 on their favorite console. If this was going on in a ps4/xbone thread with wii u owners, they'd all be banned.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Does this surprise anyone? It's a console with abysmal sales and a completely niche game.

I say this as someone who loves my Wii U and is enjoying playing W101.

 

[Ridley327]

I like how that junior swapped out screenshots of Prime.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

We need a new word. Bomba is cool wen a game sells like 30k, or like what Pikmin 3 did.

But 5k................and being one of the major releases for the system. Wow.

LA BOMBA! (?)

 

[kitchenmotors]

I assume you haven't actually played the game.

It's obviously he hasn't played the game. Just another troll.

 

[witchedwiz]

From what I understand yes, but I have a feeling this might affect PG and Nintendo's relationship. I am worried about what is going to happen with Bayo 2.

bayo2 ps4 and xboned!
wiiuamcry..
well not that it can cry a lot louder :X
sad life for pg...

 

[Regiruler]

*Punches wall*

Graphics may not matter to you, but the general populace that games on consoles generally do.

The character models are ass because you need to be able to zoom out so far and have 100 of the fuckers on the screen. The environments are really good and the enemies are decent, but the real treasure is how smooth it is no matter how many things are going on. You can have 5 weapons out a once and you would expect massive slowdown, but there isn't.

Spoiler

Time slow mechanic joke incoming

 

[elhav]

Can't wait to buy it! Japonese have strange tastes anyway.

Yeah, but W101 doesn't exactly look generic or regular, does it?
I actualy believed it would really succeed over there. I guess if it's not a Monster hunter or Pokemon style game, it's not gonna sell that that well nowadays.

 

[Hatty]

I guess this proves that nintendo directs aren't great at advertising to new audiences and they mostly preach to the choir

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Advertise your damn games Nintendo!

 

[Thorakai]

All right fellow AMERICANS it is time for us to save the world again and push The Wonderful 101 as a success.

Spoiler

I can't help since I won't be buying a Wii U soon at all. GOD SPEED.

 

[witchedwiz]

someething will save wiiu..
analysts have yet to discover what XD

 

[kitchenmotors]

You're right. It's nowhere near as good as this:

And this screenshot has the crappy old IGN artifacting going on.

Yeah, so do the Wonderful 101 characters. Dude, just stop. You obviously don't have a clue what you're going on about since you haven't even played the game.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I think that image was in response to someone posting a list of games that will "save" the Wii U, and Wonderful101 was one of them.




I'm not trolling. I geniunely think Metroid Prime looks better than Wonderful101.

The scale of both games can't be compared. Look for a video, W101 has a lot of things going on the screen and visual effects that the GC can't even dream having.

 

[antitrop]

I guess this proves that nintendo directs aren't great at advertising to new audiences and they mostly preach to the choir

Like anyone who isn't already a Nintendo faithful cares about Nintendo Directs.

 

[Revolutionary]

lmao

I was going to pick this up at launch but I think I'll wait on bomba pricing now.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Im not really surprised myself. The game looks pretty lame to me. I know that lots of Gaf seems to love it but I just think it looks meh at best. Different strokes for different folks it would seem.

Agreed. The actual game part leaves me cold. Like where you draw a circle around people to save them and shit.

I would have prefered some advance wars type game with a bunch of superheroes.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Such sad news. Still looking forward to the NA release. I hope this doesn't hurt Platinum Games too much. They'll be needing those MS dollars.

 

[Coffee Dog]

I guess this proves that nintendo directs aren't great at advertising to new audiences and they mostly preach to the choir

Turns out it was necessary, as not even the fucking choir bought it.

 

[Interceptor]

Not surprising since the game looks like a Gamecube-era game:

This post is so wrong and makes it so obvious that you haven´t played the game/have no idea what you are talking about.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Henceforth, bombing this astronomically hard will be called "101-ing".

"Dude, you heard about Game X? It completely 101'd!"

"Say what?"


I'll go edit Urbandictionary.

 

[FreeMufasa]

Nuclear Bomba?
Atom Bomba?

Nah. Thats racist in this instent.

Like Bomba, Ra-bomba, Giga-bomba

 

[zerokoolpsx]

What, this came out? Oh, its on a system most of us don't really care about. Hey, it did better than Mad World. That's gotta be something right? >_>

 

[oatmeal]

Oof

Not unexpected. If it sells more than 100K in the states I would be shocked.

Probably sold 200 in the UK.

 

[SolarPowered]

Dat trolling

Don't get yourself banned. Your avatar looks too good for that.

 

[Regiruler]

For people complaining about ad space, from what I've seen a lot of their budget is going to NSLU.

I mean Finding Luigi was a good video but Luigi was going to sell regardless.
