You could draw the Unite shapes with just the right stick though.
Or perhaps they just have a different opinion to you.
Yup. Pro controller was the best way to play that game, even with the somewhat awkward second-screen-in-the-corner compromise.

Little blurb on the direct today maybe?!
Getting my hopes up way too high maybe?!

Yes to the second one.

No. Today's Direct is only for Splatoon 2. Any Platinum Games announcement would come in a general Nintendo Direct or maybe a Platinum Direct. They might announce it on twitter.
But it's not a great comparison, it's not just about size it's also about what they need to keep operating. Mistwalker was never in the same place since Sakaguchi really wanted to go surfing while acting as a consultant instead of growing a new major studio. Platinum doesn't have a hit from their original IPs but they've made a name for themselves as go to action game developers and had success with Metal Gear Rising and more recently Nier Automata. They're already secure as an action developer but have potential to grow if they can branch out which I think they're interested in doing. Still, even if they don't I doubt they're in danger of disappearing anytime soon.
It's a Splatoon 2 direct.
Ok they're either absolutely MASSIVELY trolling us at this point or.... itshappening.gif

I can easily see Wonderful 101 getting a new control scheme with JoyCons and traditional Gamepad. Played it on WiiU, loved it but could understand why it wouldn't click with everyone since the Gamepad controls were quite different to what people are used to... and analogue stick often was less precise/easy to pull off. As a reminder: To change weapons, you had to either draw weapons on the touchscreen or with the analogue stick, both of which could be troublesome in the middle of action in the beginning.
Otherwise, it is an excellent (underrated) character action game. Should be quite pleasing to everyone who enjoys the genre and Platinums other output.
And Bayonetta 1&2, portable and on big screen with the excellent Switch Pro-Controller as a set up to bring Bayonetta 3... holy demon shit, yes!
Wouldn't even mind if they would bring a Star Fox Zero DX, motion aiming is a great asset to the franchise (aim left while flying right feels just right) and with adjustments, it would also work without the second screen (which, I feel, was why many people gave up on the game... I liked Zero a lot and thought it was a nice followup for 64 apart from the repeating storyline, but even then I can see it could have been better and especially it could have offered more content in form of stages, challenges and the like).
Anyway, bring in the 3rd party games and the classics which many people did not play because of not having a WiiU! Though as someone who has already played these, I really hope for some new stuff as well.
(Wait and see them announce Bayonetta and W101 avatars for your profile instead of old/new games, though)

I would buy that really fast.
That said, Gamepad control adjustments aside, weren't there in-door sections in the first game that required the second screen to see what was going on inside a building?

Lmao this is too good. I don't know if they're trolling now or what.
Amazing!
W101 was an incredibly ambitious and creative game that was rough around the edges. I'm thrilled that it's getting a second chance. If there is a sequel, I have no doubt that Platinum is going to make huge strides.

Yea, I totally appreciated that the game had a unique control scheme but as a lefty I kind of felt like I was in an odd position with the game. Stylus didn't feel good at all because of admittedly my own strangeness, and stick, I don't know, that just never felt right either. If they could come up with something, maybe with motion, I would be into that.

Platinum is teasing wayyyy too much now. This announcement better come soon with the way they keep posting one pic after another.

I played through the entire game only in "off tv" mode - IIRC there was only one section at the baseball field where what you were doing indoors directly affected what was going on outdoors and you had to use the picture in picture feature to align the two actions.
All the other indoor sections you could play through just manually swapping which screen the gamepad displayed.

I'm also a lefty.. fully understand what you mean. At some point I tried to just use analogue or draw with my right thumb instead of using stylus (which I usually try to avoid, anyway) but it wasn't ideal for me, either, and it took me a while to find a solution (AKA get used to and good at it) to quickly change weapons to whatever I need in the heat of battle. (This also made some of the more touchscreen-focused games on DS/3DS awkward to play.)
Seems like I spoke too soon!!
Pretty sure tenderbrew is kidding. I can't see that tweet anywhere.

I was certainly open to the Bayo 1+2 tease just being a tease, but that W101 artwork with the joycons is something someone needed to work on for a substantial amount of time. I'd be shocked if that was just for a troll.
I remember reading speculation a while back that there might be a general Switch third party Direct happening some time this year, since very few third party games were discussed during the treehouse at E3 (no FIFA, no Skyrim). So maybe whatever Platinum has will be saved for that (if it exists)?
Regardless I bought all of their non-Star Fox games on Wii U but I'd totally buy each one on Switch again, they are just so, so damn good.

WAIT SO..Wonderful 101 is rumored to be coming too? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I'm just gonna go ahead and sell my Wii U and games tbh. There's nothing else I need it for.
Edit there's literally the W101 characters holding joycons it couldn't be more obvious
Also I never knew how much I needed famicom joycons.

An incredibly ignorant one to believe that the only good thing to come out of TW101 is a song remix by a fan.
Basically lol. I'm just glad something is happening!
I think?
I bought W101 but never made it past the first few hours because I am the worst.
OMG! Go play it now because it has one of the most satisfying combat ever, once you get used to it and learn how to combo. It is a stiff learning curve, but it is very worth it.
It also has one of the most underrated soundtracks in recent history.
Or wait for the Switch version.
Or TW102

They're holding joycons. With the Switch logo in the middle. I honestly can't believe this would turn out to be nothing.

Wonderful 101 with short load times and less slowdown, give now pls
Apart from the next Kamiya game being for Switch I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Would love a W101 switch port but honestly I'd rather have a new game.
