Nintendo definitely owns the IP.

The Wonderful 101 launches in NA on Sept. 15, EU on Aug. 23

- Start date
Most likely so, yes. It ought to be pretty much the same circumstances as Bayonetta. Platinum made the game for Sega and in turn it's Sega's IP, similarly this was a title Nintendo sought out from them specifically for the Wii U.
This is why I fully expect them to be in Smash Bros. If not playable, then at least as an assist trophy.
Also I'm joining the avatar hype train.

Has this been confirmed?

If Nintendo funded it's development and it's name's at the front I'd guess so. Can't think of a game where this wasn't the case.

I wonder why Nintendo seem to be releasing quite a few games in the EU before the US now, it's nice considering how bad release dates were in the N64/GC era, but still weird.
I dont get this at all.
You guys have plenty of time to save money and get or pre-order BOTH games.

Let's put this in perspective. It's an exclusive game for a niche interest console. GTAV won't be available for Wii U. Sales of GTAV aren't going to eat into sales of W101 or vice-versa. Also, the audiences for both games are very different. People who were going to buy W101 will still buy W101. The Wii U is starved of software, and W101 is going to be a star title. With its pedigree and the console's post-E3 momentum, It'll do fine.
I know you're joking and all, but honestly, TW101 looks good to me. If this is what Wii U games will looks like then that's cool.

This is as new IP as Ouendan/EBA is a new Nintendo IP.
So yes.
Thats means, I hope the people crying for new IPs instead of Mario, Mario, Mario buy the shit out of this if they want to see more new IPs from the company.
I also think it will probably do fine and even could have long legs.

People buying both GTA V and TW101 are probably in the same minority as the people who only care for TW101.

Yup, Saints Row 4 and TW101 for me in August! Can't wait.
I'll wait until christmas for GTAV.
Ha, agreed! It reminds me of the last week of March, which had three games I'd been massively anticipating: BioShock Infinite, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and HarmoKnight. And all delivered. Amazing week!The Wonderful 101 and GTAV in the same week is just
...for me anyway. Hopefully this doesn't bomb.
I want to say the initial E3 trailer pretty clearly showed multiplayer but nothing has been mentioned since.

Probably leaderboards and stuff.
Ah right, I vaguely remember JC Rodrigo talking about that during a gameplay demo. But I think it was just a bunch of maybes.
Pretend like we didn't just have to wait two extra months for Fire Emblem Awakening...

So glad purple girl and yellow hammer man got confirmed. You could see them, but blacked out, in the old group shot art in earlier trailers.
Posted?
Wow, these latest nintendo developed/published boxarts have been perfect.
This and the Pikmin 3 one actually kinda go well together visually lol
Mini heroes FTW
Everything about that final logo and boxary...the colouring, the design of the "W", it all tells me one thing: Captain Falcon will be unlockable in this game. He fits perfectly into its design.
YES.
So, Aug 23 for EU, that likely means Aug 24 for AU. Looks like I'm getting a Wii U on August 24th

Rayman Legends a week before that, right? 3 GOTY contenders right there, baby. Beautiful platforming perfection, Kamiya action awesomeness, and GTA with the biggest world and MP3 gunplay.
Thank you, based video game god

I'm guessing that Nintendo of Europe is handling all of Nintendo's translation work now?

I think they're splitting resources on titles in order to get games out sooner. This year will be better than most for short localisations, even if the US gets a few titles later than the rest.

I am endlessly irritated by the fact we don't have a hi-res version yet!
September is about what I was expecting given that the Nintendo Direct where they unveiled the Winged Pikmin made it sound like Pikmin 3 is the start of the heavy hitters on WiiU.
EDIT: Why isn't the hi-res cover art out yet?
Yeah, usually Amazon lets you zoom in on the hi-res version.
...higher-res box art:
