We need a high-res version of that cover. Just WOW. Also looks like at least three new heroes are confirmed, including the previously suspected Yellow Hammer Man glimpsed in the multiplayer portions from the E3 2012 trailer. Now if only they'd fully confirm multiplayer is still in the game...

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
Amazing cover!
And there's the Nintendo Network logo too!

Where did the box art come from? A retailer website?

Looks amazing. Will grab attention on the shelves that's for sure.

Who will choose between GTA and TW101? Those games are nothing alike.
Stores leave less room for other games when a major title like GTAV comes out. So even if the demographics were mutually exclusive (and they're not -- I'm buying both), there'd be that issue. :-\

This game will bomb so hard. I'm wondering whom they are targetting with this title.

in terms of art style and the theme of super heroes, robots, etc it might appeal to Japan quite a bit. beyond that, idk. sales will be disappointing, no doubt.
 
Fantastic box art.

I hope the game does well, it is currently one of the very few reasons I could see myself getting a WiiU sometime in the future.

Oh, very nice. I was waiting for the 2014 delay.

That's a perfect release date for NA really. Being that Platnum themselves stated that the game can be finished in a day, you can trade it right back for GTAV...

=/

That is a nice box art though for sure..

That boxart looks hot!

Everything else gets put aside when this comes out, September is 101 month.

Not too happy about the fact that every other territory is getting it earlier than NA though, gonna be a long wait!
 
Not a good idea to release it around GTAV but that boxart looks awesome. Shame it didn't come close to the launch window but I'll give it a shot when I get a Wii U.

Glad we got a date for this one, but I was really hoping for a new trailer.

Though Nintendo has shown off this and Pikmin 3 dozens of times, we really know very little about what these games will ultimately be like at this point. I also wanted to get new trailers of these titles out of the way now so that E3 could focus on stuff that we don't already know about.

Boxart looks badass by the way.

Cool beans.
I like the logo.

On the 23rd, same day as Saint's Row IV and Splinter Cell Blacklist.
Luckily i don't have a WiiU yet, so that's an easy choice, i would've loved to play this on D1, but hey.

"Around"? It's almost a month before that.

I have no idea how NoA is allowed to continue with some of these decisions. Head to head with GTAV, you have got to be fucking kidding me. In related news, this September NoA is discontinuing Black and White as Wii U colors and going exclusively Fisher Price Red and Kindergarten Blue.
