OMG, not your post but for some reason it took until this last page to realize I've always read this dudes name wrong.
For some reason until just now I always read it as Troy Barker, I can't believe it.

It's amazing how agry this post makes me. Because all of these points are completely valid. People who enjoy video games should love this, but hearing the talk about it not being worth 60 dollars and the like just blows me the fuck away.
I fear for this industry in the next few years.
I just want to say this game looks amazing. Keep on fighting the good fight, Nintendo, Platnium.

Can't wait for the annual "Bakies" award
And I don't know what kids are into these days, but if I saw this game as a kid I'd crap my pants from the sheer awesome. It might do well with that demo even if it isn't designed for them

Just watched it three times in a row, i agree.
I predict this game will hit big with the younger crowd. Could just be me, but watching the trailer gives me that feeling you would get when you were younger watching saturday morning cartoons.
Theres something special about this game.
If that's what the industry and those who support it want, let 'em have it.
But as long as the likes of P* and Nintendo allow these kinds of games to be made, I will buy them.

It is amazing to me how many people suddenly show up appearing to know nothing about this game. Shocking, even!
This game.
Oh maaaaaan this game.
Its so wacky and crazy and colourful and crazy and over the top and cheesy. I have no complaints at all.
Even the voice acting. If this was any other game, it would be terrible...but W101 is just so OTT that even the voice acting suits it perfectly.
Its like playing a really stupid and silly saturday morning cartoon that you just cant get enough of.
I need this game.

Does one of the dudes at the end have a cell phone for a head?
Possibly! Earlier looks at the game featured a guy with a toilet bowl for a head. I remember reading that another hero is based on a vending machine.

This game has me the most excited for the Nintendo Wii U.
It reminds me of a modern day Super NES game if that makes any sense.
Very Charming, colorful and looks like a fun game to play. wonder how additional play modes if any will be executed.

Aparently some of the equipment like armor and such is just crap they repurpose.
That is gonna be interesting.

The game still looks awesome.
Nothing has changed.
It might fly under the radar but for me personally, I could see it becoming a "Game of the Year" candidate.
Not that labels like that matter much but I can't see this game disappointing........at all.

This absolutely has "Game of the Year contender" written all over it. So does Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. So does Rayman Legends. 2013, itself, may be a contender for Best Year This Gen.

It's crazy how much my opinion of this game has changed over the last year. When I first saw P100 I though it looked like shit. After the 2nd trailer I was impressed. After this trailer I can't wait to play it.
Games like this is why I love Nintendo. They just seem to put out games that are Disney like to me. They just have that magical feeling, I can't explain it.
Def can't wait to get a Wii U next Christmas.

I came here to ask about this. It looked really great but I noticed some slowdowns, however this pleases me. Let's hope they can lock it down.

I thought so too.
Hadn't heard about this game before I bought my Wii U, so I was really happy when I first started learning about it. This trailer just made me absolutely sure I want this game day 1. I really like these games with such a unique style and flair, even the cheesy voice acting fits so perfectly. Also I freaking love the way the city environment looks, like in that waterside bit at the end, you can see the cityscape miles off into the distance in the background. I love it! I just hope it plays as good it looks.
Well I think a lot of people got turned off by a bad npc model that was shown very early in the first video, and kind of ignored what the game looked like overall. Some the later videos that came out showed a lot of interesting visual choices/effects that worked well together. The use of polygons over texturing for certain things in combination with the lighting gives the game a really nice clean and colorful look where various pieces of the background really pop out to the viewer. The game also seems big on terrain transformation, with lots of shots showing the world being broken up, tilted, blown up, etc, which makes for some pretty engaging visual scenes.
I do think the models have been improved upon though since we last saw it. Looks like they've added various particle effects as well.

It's a Kamiya joint; it'll handle like butter. No worries there.

I don't like the style of the characters' design. I don't think it will resonate in the West, and that it was part of the reason Viewtiful Joe didn't succeed.
I love everything else about this though, those gifs look amazing. I hope it gets a lot more attention.

I totally agree. I Think what hurt the initial trailer were the close ups showing super low poly characters. but When it zoomed out....Just amazing. Maybe The mother 3/earthbound game will have this type of city graphic style. Could be cool....
Close to the launch of the game there will be an Iwata Asks with Kamiya.
Personally I'm also looking forward to the Iwata Asks: Platinum Games, makes me think Nintendo is keen to continue the relationship after work on W101 and Bayonetta 2 wraps up.

Can't wait for this one, will day one it no question. I'm a fan of Platinum Games, they're definitely a great representation of what Japanese devs can bring to the table.

I love it when videos end with a funny/nonsensical part.
Just adds a sprinkle of charm over the already delicious dessert.

First time I noticed a different perspective
The Iwata Asks : Developers they seemingly want to start this year will be super interesting.
I expect there to be one with all the companies they're collaborating with.
Iwata Asks: Namco Bandai Games
Iwata Asks: Atlus
And whatever the other collaborations are that they're working on at the moment, since Iwata made it clear there's a few still under wraps.
