Kamiya is his own man
Kamiya's not a fan of Twitter. Twitter just formed to help Kamiya broadcast his emoticons, and he's nice enough to let the rest of us use it.
Btw, the P-100 trailer (and other WiiU trailers) are in the eShop on the 3DS. This and Pikmin 3 require a microscope on the 3DS screen, lol.

I just watched the GameSpot walkthrough of the demo from a few pages back and I think this title looks awesome. I thought the game would be really hard to follow with all the heroes running around at first, but I don't think that'll be much of a problem playing it at home on an HDTV. The visuals look really smooth and quirky and the action in the demo looks really fun and dynamic. Unless later word of mouth is awful, I'll be getting this when it comes out.
I'll also echo the sentiment of "why wasn't this shown at the conference"? When asked that very question, the representative in the video makes it clear that it was NoA's decision not to show it off... While I'm guessing it would've been blasted online for being "too niche" to close the conference or anything like that, I think it would've gone a long way towards making the conference look better. I suppose it's similar to the Fire Emblem announcement. In the end, I'm glad we're getting this.

If the game will be close to launch (ie this year or early 2013) I doubt he has had much time to do anything in between. That's three years since bayonetta, not an unthinkably long development time. Maybe 6 months of pitching + 2.5 years development. Or 1 year of pitching and 2 years of development might be more realistic.
Nintendo with the 3DS.

And with the Wii.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I'm really sad people are ignoring this game. You can pretty much see it from posts outside of this.
Hell, I consider this THE game of the show, much better than those sickening realistic crap.

I blame Nintendo. Leaving this out of the conference was just insane. A goofy trailer introducing people to the heroes + a gameplay trailer would've been a much better use of time than 10 minutes of Arkham City or the dancing/music games. I still think they could've launched new mascots with the right trailer.
They did give it a Spike exclusive, but it was probably lost in the immediate press conference afterglow. Also, it needs a name.

Yeah, and that's just the first level. If the craziness ramp is half as steep as the one in Bayonetta, TV screens will melt from all the awesomeness before the end of the game.
Man, I don't care what people say about the graphics, I think it looks fun, the road falling apart looks awesome and the gachapon machine was cool as hell.
Wow that is awesome.

Now I want it. Though all these games currently on WiiU are nice, they aren't system sellers. There should have been a bomb at launch and at least 2 in the launch year, while you pick up stuff like this. And why didn't they show this at the conference, no one knows. They apparently all went schizophrenic at Nintendo.

I'm seriously considering buying the system just for this game. PlatinumGames hasn't disappointed me yet. Has it been said if it will be available on the download service?

I'm excited for this game, hope it's a launch title or coming really soon (like before Christmas...)

I think all Nintendo published titles are supposed to be available for download.

I think the name is temporary, I bet they will.

Oh, that's right. I hope there's no delay and it's like how Sony does it for the Vita, where the digital version is required on day one.

It's a working title, AFAIK.
And the DS. They haven't announced a launch date more than 2-3 months in advance since GameCube.

I thought the trailer looked great. Like you control your own "army of ants. " I think it looks neat and platinum games making it makes me want it more.
I don't think we know that, but it would be amazing if true
I assumed that it's really just a technical term. P for Platinum and 100 for their first (Nintendo) game. A sequel to P-100 would be P-101 and another Nintendo-published IP by Platinum would be P-200.
That's probably totally wrong though.
I question whether he was working on it to begin with. As kamiya has never directed a sequel to his own game afaik.

An interesting analysis.
What the? Can we get rid of Reggie now? That guy is the worst. Every time I see him I wanna punch his face.
At least they showed it. We're all too fixated on the press conferences -- I'm guilty of this myself, but am trying to change.

This scene, the design and giant monster reminds me of South Park and the Mecha-Barbra episode for some reason lol.Man, I don't care what people say about the graphics, I think it looks fun, the road falling apart looks awesome and the gachapon machine was cool as hell.
Can't wait to play this game.

Not because he hasn't wanted to, though.
I really hope Platinum doesn't end up making me buy a WiiU to play this game and then I end up barely touching it after that. I haven't missed a Platinum game yet, but from everything I've seen, this is the only WiiU thing that made me go, 'fuck yeah, i need this'. Even Rayman Legends, which looks gorgeous, is kind of 'yeah, but i've played this'
This game was the best surprise this e3.
Pikmin will be great but this just seems so fresh and original. Oh and technically it IS really impressive, just look at all the stuff happening
Kamiya is the greatest game designer besides Miyamoto himself though, so it is not really surprising this looks amazing.
The name needs a change though

This topic has way more posts than Pikmin 3 and many other E3 discussion threads.
Persecutory delusion.
It probably refers to the number of sales it'll have.

I don't care how much sales they have as long as PlatinumGames can continue to make games. And it really looks like they can.
Which is a shame because Nintendo could turn this into their next big franchise if they wanted to. Franchise potential is all over this and I hope it gets some representation in the next Smash game.
