Topic: The Wonderful 101

Hopefully they're not taking a page from Tecmo Koei's book and just releases the game without telling anyone.

@Retro, it was originally revealed as being a part of the launch window (like Pikmin 3)

I'm just hoping / assuming that both this game, along with Game & Wario will be released sometime in April. Since they are both featured in the "Coming Soon" section of the eShop; alongside both Toki Tori and Kirby's Adventure- both confirmed April releases.

This is true, but I'd like to think that Nintendo would have some type of promo for this game.
Its basically April now and there's been little to no promo for it.

I'm hoping for it, Game & Wario, and Wii Fit U to hit within the next 60 days.

We're due for another Nintendo Direct soon-ish, yes?

But I agree with Powerline, a little bit of promotion for the title would be nice.

Played the Demo for this at PAX, it's amazing.

I'm just buying it For the fact it will be a unique experience by a unique developer ... I'm getting impatient though :..

Well Nintendo has been talking a lot about the updates of the firmware and the Miiverse in order to provide system stability and extra funtions in the miiverse; they mention that Wii fit U would be the 1st one in order to use this upgrades.

So I guess any delay could be commonsense of this upgrades works. Maybe those games would take advantages of this new functionalities, and after the april update we can start hearing about release dates for all this titles.

Me too. This game is one of the main reasons I bought the wii u. It can't come soon enough.

The more I see of this game, the more interested I am. The stuff in the 5 min demos looks awesome - if there's 15 or more hours of content like that, this could be one of the best new IPs in a long time. I really want this and Pikmin 3 to be great, and to come out ASAP.

Was hoping to get a nugget on this one out of the direct today. Probably my most anticipated announced game now that Lego City is out.

Very strange that this game seemed to have been looked over amid all the release dates being announced.

sighs ...still nothing on this game?... :/

Isn't it crazy how The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, and Game & Wario were all launch-window games at first and now:

Game & Wario is releasing in June 2013 (internationally)
Pikmin 3 in August 2013

and we have no release date for The Wonderful 101.

I'd guess the reason is both because Nintendo was still a bit too unprepared for HD gaming and because doesn't want to need to use updates to fix their rushed games like certain other companies.

In Nintendo's eyes, its quality over quantity. So while some 3rd party companies out there may be rushing to get their games on Wii U with multiple flaws, Nintendo won't stop until they find their games perfect.

Also, if I were Nintendo, I wouldn't want Pikmin 3 & Wonderful 101 to release anywhere near each other at the risk of people comparing the two and judging them just for being a bit similar.

How in the world did Game & Wario and Pikmin 3 get release dates, but not this?

Oh well. At least I'll have Game & Wario and Pikmin 3 to play until this comes out!

But yeah, this game is a must buy for the Wii U. I can't wait!

I just read a rumour that Nintendo of Germany accidentally posted the release date for the Wonderful 101 as 'June 6th'.

To add to my previous comment, Game is now listing Wonderful 101's release date as June as well.

Sounds promising to me!
