Nintendo should advertise the fuck out of this game! Can't leave this potential hanging by the wayside!

Oh well .. than keep it all up =)
Point taken, I removed some parts.
Stylistically it is overloaded and scatterbrained. It also doesn't really say much about the game on its own terms, and the incessant Pikmin comparisons require and unnecessary frame of reference while drawing attention and detail to what game the review is really about. Nothing about the mechanics or events described here are really detailed or elaborated on in a way that feels informative.
The game looks beautiful and characterful, but I haven't really been able to make sense of the little gameplay I've seen thusfar, I'm delighted that the first review we've got is positive, but I wish it was less meandering and actually talked about the core gameplay a bit more.

And miss all the fun... Kamiya may cry you know...
some hardcore fan must've been looking out for us and hit that submit button "on accident". good on ya.
But the people who complains about how this game will bomb either don't have a Wii U or don't actually care about this game.

Are you one of the 100k? If not it is you who would be ashamed. j/k
Wow at the misleading thread title. The game sounds good already, no need to use quotes out of context to push a narrative. Just makes the hype seem desperate.
Looking forward to more opinions once it's on shelves, not crazy about Pikmin style gameplay in general but this looks like a lot of fun. Go get em, Platinum.

While this is truth here, the sad part is I suspect it doesn't matter what platform W101 was on.
It might have a shot at selling a few 100k more on PS360 purely due to size of userbase, but sadly stuff like this tends to get ignored by the average gamer today.

He did that on purpose, yes.
This game plays absolutely nothing like Pikmin.

Weird how Platinum, not Nintendo, are making the two games that are getting me to grudgingly buy a Wii U
Hopefully the Nintendo Direct on Friday does that. I don't think there's a really good demo of the game on video since it's either the NOA folks talking over the game or some IGN guy who can't draw a line on the gamepad.
http://platinumgames.com/games/the-wonderful-101/ Basically just read that from Kamiya's introduction post near the bottom up. I'd read this for sure (the third blog post). But basically every post so far is adding another wrinkle or mechanic to the basic gameplay.

it's a slow burn, but you will see the light (hopefully)
That was a genuine mistake, one that everyone with reading comprehension could see at first glance, but me. I'd edit it if I could but a mod will need to help me there.

Definitely buying this. It's one of the main reasons I got my Wii U back near launch and I couldn't be more ready to finally get this in my hands.
you caught the part about taking the thread title out of context but somehow think it is Pikmin style gameplay
Absolutely nothing sounds like hyperbole to me especially after reading the review, but good news for sure.
Er, the quote used in the title is about Platinum's work in general rather than W101. Glad you posted the review, but that's a bit misleading
I've actually played the game, so I do have some inkling of what I'm talking about. Generally speaking, it's what would happen if Viewtiful Joe played more like Bayonetta.
In my haste to post the review from my iPhone I took a sexy quote, which happened to be about Platinum's work in general, sorry again for that. At least my haste brought us the review before it got pulledEr, the quote used in the title is about Platinum's work in general rather than W101. Glad you posted the review, but that's a bit misleading
People coming here to say this game wont sell:
You are what is wrong with this industry. Game is going to be great. If it doesn't sell it talks more about the current states of the video game industry than about the game itself, like all recent previous Platinum Games.
This sales argument does not make the game worse or less fun to be played. Another argument about the game, fair enough, everyone is entitle to their opinions. But this "it will bomb", "it wont sell" does not add anything to a healthy and constructive discussion about the game, if anything it does the exact opposite. And I'm honestly tired of it.
Can we move on, now?

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
define "flop."
It would be relatively easy for the game to outside Vanquish under normal circumstances.
Given the lack of software conversion on Wii U now though, I once thought that a lock... now, I doubt it. It would have to outsell Lego City Stories to do that, and if that's the bar, Nintendo will have to sell a decent chunk of core Nintendo-only-fans over to the IP. There aren't enough of traditional core gamers to get it to 200k as it is now, in my opinion.
At least not at launch.
A great holiday can get it there!
in other words, it sounds exactly like a Kamiya game

This is a discussion board for gaming enthusiasts, that are dedicated to gaming as a major hobby, hence interested in different aspects of the industry and sales happen to be a big, sometimes even crucial part of it. Maybe you should get out of here, if you can't deal with it?
Nintendo Directs get at least a news on most gaming sites. I doubt gamers will not know about the new Platinum game by the time it launches. But I think you're totally right about missing a whole broader audience with lack of advertizing for this game. Kids need to know about it, I would have gone nuts for this artstyle/super hero stuff. I don't get why Nintendo doesn't go all in with such a hand.
