Well, they did say they wanted the first level or boss to feel like the last one.
Remember that poster that said Platinum isn't going to bring it for this system???
No one does.
Ah, excellent. I'll be doing that now, then.

Like has been stated before, this game is anything but short.

I think I remember them saying they want the whole game to feel like you were fighting the final boss of Bayonetta.
I hated that boss but I love the essence of what they are saying
I once asked Kamiya if he could top
riding a motorcycle into space and punching God into the sun

Yeah, that's what they said.
Basically, they aren't mailing it in with these two games.
Not that I thought they would as they have pride and egos but they seem to be in direct competition with themselves because no one does action games quite the same way.
I'm not surprised that The Wonderful 101 is an instant classic but I was taken aback by how much content is in it.

I hope we can expect a similar amount of content for Bayo 2. Or at least as long as Bayo was. After playing TW101, and hearing that the two teams would try 1up each other on crazy action sequences, and watching that amazing demo again, Bayo 2 is easily my most anticipated Wii U game of 2014.
Bayonetta 2 looked insanely good at E3, I just hope the game is LOADED like W101.
That's a Kamiya thing though, hopefully Hashimoto has the same mindset with regards to jam packing the game full of extras and content. I want costumes, lost chapters 2, weapons, characters, art gallery, jukebox,model viewer. I want ALL of it!

The Bayo 2 Demo is probably the prologue. Kinda like the 101 demo was at game shows.
Yeah I'm watching my brother play and he's getting frustrated even with on the spot revive.
I can't imagine how many people would be unable to complete this game if it was any other way. lol

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I like the final boss fights in The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta, and Revengeance. But I can see how one might be favourable depending on what you want from a final boss fight.
Revengeance has the most pure challenge. I found the final boss fights in both Bayo and TW101 to be nowhere near as challenging as some other fights in the game. For example, I beat TW101's without dying on normal on my first try. I got steamrolled by Bayos at the time, but I put that down to a lack of skill, because on my latest replay (finished a couple of days ago) I beat it without dying. Revengeance, on the other hand, was a pure one-on-one fucking nightmare battle. In a good way. A really tough and rewarding climax to the game that is built entirely around mastering the mechanics. So if final challenge is what you want, Rising wins.
TW101 has scale down. The entire boss fight sequence is, for the lack of a better and less abused word, epic. It nails the idea of fighting something very big and very important across multiple tiers of battle design. The fight itself has the best concept of a journey, and thus is super rewarding when you finally finish it.
Bayo's has neither of these things. It doesn't quite get the concept of scale and scope down, not like some of the other boss fights in the game, nor is it punishingly difficult. But the scenario is all kinds of crazy cool and totally insane for the game it was, it's nice to look at, the fight itself works well, and it has one of the best fight themes in the game. And it ends all kinds of awesome.

Just beat the game.
I've never smoked a day in my life, but after all that I needed a cig like you wouldn't believe.
I must make this into a license plate.

Only offensive weapons (except Justice Missiles) hurt your score. It will tell you if the item hurts your score. Using cakes and soups won't hurt your score. Though if you are healing that must mean you already took damage...which does hurt your score.
So
He does say Final Twice!
Just finished the game myself.
That was like the best episode of Power Rangers ever!
I was just sad we didn't get a group unite morph at the end!

+ Most enemies have some type of armor that matches the weapon that will counter it perfectly.
Example 1:
when you first encounter Wonder Pink, you are taught that Whip is best to use against anything with spikes.

I know, right?
They're all group unite morphs.
Guess he means something like a combined morph out of all previous morphs. Mighty Morphin' Wonderful 101.
Regarding action games: I think platinum is the last one left doing them in the way they are. Team Ninja dropped the ball with NG3 and every sigma entry. Capcom tried to appeal to the mainstream as well and it still bombed. There is no one left.
Konami and Mecurysteam? Sry but they don't have either the experience nor the talent, imo.

Nintendo and Platinum are the only devs working in videogames now who I have complete, unwavering faith in to deliver solid products. They keep the ethos of fun, accessible, unpretentious, classic gaming alive where others sell out. Them working together is, well, wonderful, and I hope they do a lot more of it.
It's sad though that so many once sure fire developers and publishers are struggling, scrambling to appease demographics who clearly don't want them, or have just given up entirely.

Do you mean there's a different ending on Hard?

Kahkoo-Regah are the challenge portals.
But let's say there is A LOT to unlock after your first playthrough.
What MMP said, though the message at the very end is different on Hard.
Thanks.
Don't know if this has been posted already: All Kahkoo Regah on Hard with Pure Platinum:

The guy is good.
I have 91. I have no idea where the other 9 are.
The Kahkoo-Regah are the secret mission portals, they are different in each difficulty.
Also I unlocked one of the secret characters
According to the secrets tab I am pretty close to unlocking a few of the characters, with some missing only a bottlecap.
I want to unlock
Wonder Scarf (Alice McGregor) She has an Ice Whip.

I want to unlock
Wonder Red (Emeritus) but I don't know how to get the explorers bottlecap and that secret bottlecap it is asking for.

Yeah I accidentally used an extra letter, sorry. Hope I didn't spoil anyone else on this.

Regarding the first bottlecap you're talking about :
The explorer group that triggered it for me was on the very start of the A stage, climb the wall on the left of the waterfall, there's a group up there. Hope that's the one you're missing.
Thanks I will try out tomorrow.
Do you have to get all the explorers on a single try? or as long as you rescued a specific group in a previous play through of that mission it counts?
No you just have to recruit them all across different playthrough, like I said I got it when I recruited the group I talked about in my previous post which is at the very start of the chapter's first level.
I see! Thanks!

I ordered the guide for this last night. I'm only on Operation 004 right now and I'll complete the game before looking at the guide. I am hoping it will help me find all the hidden stuff and give some good strategies for medals (I suck) on subsequent playthroughs.

Finally got the Plat on 008-C...fuck you, Gaga-Goowhatever, I hate the enemy names in this game
Unite Guts when it fires a cannonball at you. It'll reflect off and hit it. It took me like 3 operations to figure this out.
I wonder what's up with those, are they a play on japanese names/words or something?

I think so, like Chi-Q being Japanese for Earth. They're never very memorable tho. I immediately know Grace and Glory, Ardors, Beloved, etc from Bayo; I don't know what the fuck the turtles or the scorpions are called here

The names are in essence "one letter off" style.
For example Immorta is off of "imouta" which means
and the Geath Wahksay is off of "death" obviously and "wakusei", Japanese for
.
If my Japanese was better the names would make more sense. I have no idea what "Kahkoo-regah" is supposed to be and at this point I'm just gonna call them Kaka Ragu®.

They're Japanese phrases and names in phonetic English.
