Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Yeah and it is awesome

Also, I kind of want this on my avatar somehow now.

Well, if Nintendo's going to be a sock full of poo-poo and keep the glorious TW101 box art to themselves, I'll just have to trust it'll be in the veritable treasure trove of press materials that we always get around E3.
 
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...

4 new heroes. There's someone wearing black to the far right of the cover.

Yeah, looks like there's Yellow Soviet Hammer Dude, Purple Skirt Girl With Difficult-To-Discern Weapon, Black-Clad Tall Slender Dude With Possible Baseball Bat, and Other Black-Clad Short Fellow With No Discernible Weapon... Dude.

Hopefully P* will come up with better names for them.
 
One thing I've come to really love from Platinum is their choice in soundtrack. Each game has it's own feel, and it's quite distinguishable. The only other bit of media I want is one cut from a level. Let me here those tunes Plat!

Are they even gonna have a normal E3 Press site this year? I hope so, breaking into it is one of my yearly rituals.

I have decided that I am going to wait for a Wii U price drop before I buy the system. However, I will still buy this game day 1 to support Platinum. I can keep it on my shelf until the day I actually own the console.
 
I know I want the game during the summer but I'm so busy right now and I had so many big splurges recently so I can wait. This holiday season is going to be murder on the wallet. New consoles, new games,etc,. I know we always want new games every month but I feel like I miss the old days where there wasn't 5 or 6 games I wanted to get but don't have the time to give them like they deserve or the funds to buy them all :/
 
I think I'm going to get this day one and just stick it on my shelf until I get a WiiU. I hope they do a Bayonetta 2 console bundle.
 
Just really noticed since you pointed it out. I'm going on a media blackout from here on out. Wanna enjoy the game to the fullest when it releases. :)

You aren't alone. I don't want to know anything at all about it before going in. Not what types of levels there are, what powers to expect, etc. Only thing I want is a piece of the level or boss music just to get the vibe they are going to go for, but no more footage for me either.

I want to say I'll do the same for Bayonetta 2, but I know damn well once they roll the initial footage live on Nintendo Direct, I won't turn my head like I did for Pikmin.

I really don't know what to expect from this game sales wise given that its looking to be a niche title.

Depends what is going on with the system marketing I guess. The timing is not ideal in terms of other games launching, namely GTA 5, however its launching after Pikmin so Nintendo should be in full swing with their attempt to revive the console by that point.

Depending on how much one expects it to sell GTA might now even be that big of an issue.
 
WTF is up with the wait in the US? 3 WEEKS? That's ridiculous! They aren't exactly helping to ingratiate themselves to their US audience with that bs!

Don't worry, we'll tell you how good it is.
I'm with you, this sucks.

ZombiU and Sonic All Star Racing Transformed are excellent.

Glorious box art.

Really can’t wait for this to release, I just hope that for the love of plasma, you can de-clutter the HUD somehow, or even move the entire thing to the pad screen.
