Someone who has watched the ND multiple times, is it me or did Iwata imply W101 would be out before the summer?
I *think* what he said was by summer. So, before autumn, presumably.

I also happen to looooove this moment and just had to make a gif
the way W101 glows is so badarse
Looks great. I'm trying to get a grasp of how it'll play, though. Like a character action game (only your character is 101 little guys)?
I've also read this will have dodge offset (amazing), right? This means combos. Given the different 'weapons' available, I wonder how flexible the combo system will be - could you switch 'weapons' mid-combo?
From what I understand, you switch 'weapons' by drawing on the screen (an approximation of what the weapon looks like) or using the right stick. How will this impact gameplay? You're punching baddies with, say, a giant hammer or whatever. A big projectile approaches. With a quick stroke, you draw yourself into a jelly shield, then draw a gun and shoot the farther enemies then draw a hammer to continue beating up the closer baddies. Am I imagining this right?
The though of a highly flexible 'weapon'/combo system with dodge offset sounds very appealing.
I've just rewatched that bit, and this is what Iwata said around 18:30
"We are planning a steady stream of games from this Spring to Summer, including Game & Wario, Wii Fit U, Pikmin 3, Lego City Undercover, from our friends at TT Games and, of course, the Wonderful 101"
The order isn't probably casual (aside from LCU): Game & Wario has been officialized for March 28th in Japan, and probably Wii Fit U will follow not that far because they already showed all the boxarts for the different SKUs + already rated by OFLC. And we need to include "Wii Party U" coming in Summer.
Moreover, on the YouTube page, the part starting at 18:30 is indicated as "Spring and Summer Games"
Isn't there a part where you go into a storage-like building and you have to look at the gamepad and the TV to unlock the door?It's possible. When I played it last, the gamepad screen was just a static image of the motions you make for weapons. No reason it couldn't have off-TV play and the dodging mechanic makes it an excellent showcase for how little lag there is.

I love this. I want a game like this except a bit more open world - with four characters - giant monsters ...aka I basically want a power rangers game like this where you morph into suits and fight big ass bosses in a huge mech.
one day.
So...what are the chances of this being successful and us getting a Viewtiful Joe HD Collection or a Viewtiful Joe 3???

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.
This seems like a "couple weeks after E3" title, doesn't it? Kind of like OoT 3D in the U.S.
Reason being: Bayo 2 at E3, plus the latest trailer for this TW101, will build hype for Platinum, and thus TW101. Then you release with similar timing to OoT 3D (relative to E3) and coast off dat hype.
I'm also really curious to see whatever Monster Games has been up to since Pilotwings Resort, and what Treasure is cooking up for the 3DS.If they do end up showing Smash, 3D Mario, and Mario Kart at E3, as promised, and then add to that the inevitable Retro game reveal, along with new demos of TW101, and maybe footage of Bayo2 and X... 2013's already shaping up to be one of Nintendo's strongest E3s ever. And on top of that they'll surely have the 3DS' holiday lineup in tow. Wowee.

There are also the unannounced collaborations with third-parties that Iwata made mention of. Which could be anything, really.

This game being successful and Viewtiful Joe anything happening are entirely unrelated. Viewtiful Joe remains the property of Capcom.
One thing I noticed in W101 is how the environments seem to have some "volume" to them, giving them a look similar to CGI. Are they just pre-rendered or is it the engine using some kind of special visual effect?

It's all in-engine, they just make effective use of clean texturing, depth of field, and I think there's some motion blur.
One thing I liked about this trailer over the others is that they're really starting to show off some of the insane boss fights in this game. They can really do some interesting stuff with the sense of scale.
Games aren't worth $60 now unless it's an FPS with online multiplayer!smh
I THOUGHT SO
Even more sold!
We don't really know if it exists anymore. Miyamoto originally said he'd like to introduce "a new character IP" on Pikmin's 10th anniversary but that was 2011. Maybe they're just taking their time with it and use it to test new ideas or maybe it's cancelled.You guys forgot that Miyamoto's new IP, could be revealed this year too.
I really hope this game gets the attention it deserves. Would hate for it to turn into another under the radar gem
It's not going to get much exposure at all. It isn't even gaining much traction on NeoGAF.

My thoughts.Potential Nintendo E3 2013:
3D Mario, Wii U [playable] Confirmed
Super Smash Bros. 4, Wii U & 3DS At most a trailer
Mario Kart 8, Wii U [playable] Confirmed
Monolith Soft's 'X', Wii U Doubt it.
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Wii U Most likely
Wii U Party, Wii U Most likely
Wii U Sports, Wii U 50/50 on this one
Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei, Wii U Doubt it
Retro Studio's Game, Wii U Guaranteed unless they announce it beforehand in a Direct
Yarn Yoshi, Wii U Most likely
The Wonderful 101, Wii U (depends on release pre-/post-E3) Guessing one final trailer at E3 before a June/July launch
Bayonetta 2, Wii U Probably not since it looked really early in devlopment from that one video, but maybe a tease of some kind
Pokemon X & Y, 3DS Doubt it
The Legend of Zelda, 3DS 50/50. I can see them saving this for a post-E3 Direct
Plus Treasure, Monster & any surprises.
