Today we'll be gifted with a special Wonderful 101 Nintendo Direct, packed with information relating to Platinum's upcoming action title.
On the W101 Blog, Platinum has revealed that it has "something extra" to announce "shortly after" the broadcast ends:
After the Nintendo Direct is over though, don’t turn off the Internet just yet, because we’ll have a little something extra to announce shortly after!
The post has led many to suspect the news will be delivered during the broadcast itself, but Platinum has since clarified the comments on Twitter:

What could this special announcement possibly be? A new mode in the game, or something entirely unrelated to The Wonderful 101? Be sure to let us know what you think by posting a comment below.

Commence praying for Starfox....
Can't wait for this ND, the announcement and of course this game. It's a great -but expensive- month. Rayman, w101, Splinter Cell, and for ps3 Killer is Dead.
Also, my girlfriends birthday.
Def won't be Wonderful 101 related... Man, I wonder what it is! Exciting!!!
W101 Demo saved game - transfers into the full retail (assuming the demo with be part of the ND news).
New game or Bayonetta release date would be cool. But im sure ill be happy even if its a joke lol.
Wishful thinking but either a release date for Bayonetta 2 or No More Heroes 3
My initial thought was a W101 character in Smash, but surely they'd include that in the Direct?
Hopefully it's a new game now they're finished with 101. Brand new IP.
Bayonetta released on the eShop.
wonder red in smash bros. would be fantastic, also a demo of W101 after the direct would be nice too
I'd say Bayonetta 1 for the eShop as well. I'd buy it!- which would be the first time I'd break my rule about downloading games!
@MrGawain I'd buy that too but if it's not in the Nintendo Direct they could be announcing anything on any format....!
or 101 could be going multi platform !!!
Starfox U: a game by Hideki Kamiya. xD
@Nintenjoe64
Or they aren't putting anything in the direct about Bayonetta because it would put an 18/adult certificate on the trailer, which would harm 101.
@MrGawain similar reasoning but maybe just maybe, they'll announce that they've finished porting GTA5 for Wii U in time for the PS360 version launch...
@MAN1AC That;d be nice
Bayonetta 1 for WiiU, please?
Interesting speculations... NMH3, Bayonetta on eShop, new IP, W101 demo... (although a demo would probably be 'available right after this presentation'). Any of these, I'd pick 'em all up.
So where will it show up. One the direct site, or on their Twitter?
Excellent speculation already. I'll back those saying this is unrelated to W101 - no reason not to have it in the Direct otherwise.
Hopefully it won't be related to The Wonderful 101. Maybe the original Bayonetta will be released on the Wii U? A release date for Bayonetta 2? Maybe a new game altogether?
@Judgedean Didn't Suda 51 create No More Heroes?
A demo would be nice. Bayonetta 1 even better:)
My guess is Viewtiful Joe.
To those saying NMH3, so far as I'm aware, this has nothing to do with Platinum.
Bayonneta 1 available to download from e shop please please please please!
Bayonetta 1 would be great!! Makes sense in a way - get people excited for the squeal and fills in the gap while waiting for B2. Don't think there would be too much effort porting the x360 version over to the WiiU.
Platinum Games didn't create No More Heroes, Grasshopper Manufacture did.
At first I thought I'd want Platinum to grab the rights to Viewtiful Joe or Okami and do a sequel, but part of the reason I love those games is the freshness. So if it is a new game, please be a new IP!
Bayonetta playable in smash bros?
Bayonetta release date is my guess
Demo available today would be cool?!?!?!?!
Bayonetta 1 for eShop would be amazing!
Maybe an entirely new game?
@Maneauleau
I would find seeing Bayonetta stark naked whilst her hair slaps the Ice Climbers around VERY disturbing and inappropriate.
@Dambuster I'm pretty sure Platinum have already said that W101 & Bayonetta won't go multi as Nintendo are financing their development.
@MrGawain I'm thinking that it's Bayonetta ported to Wii U and packaged with Bayonetta 2.
Or dare I say... a 3DS version of The Wonderful 101?
It must be related to Bayonetta franchise, or the W101 since they really need attention to be payed on this early to release titles.
Has to be Bayonetta related. If it had to do w/ W101 it would be IN the ND, not a separate announcement after.
I have a tingling down my leg.
a 3DS game would be their first right?
Bayonetta in Smash Bros.?
Since it's not part of the direct, do we even know if it's Nintendo-related? I sure hope it is, preferrably another brand new game. But the last part is probably wishful thinking.
I support the wonder red in smash bros. theory.
Sweet! I'm hoping for Red in Smash Bros as well, or some online-multiplayer game mode, etc. Can't wait. LOVE Nintendo Directs — wish we could get more of them, haha. Also can't wait for this title... even though I don't need to be looking at other games until I clear off my current list I'm playing. Shin Megami Tensei 4, Persona 4, Pikmin 3, and Tales of Xillia are all taking up a lot of time... then there's MH3U, Animal Crossing, so on.
@Damo you wrote Platinium in the title (platinum)
I hope it's The Wonderful 101 demo or the original Bayonetta at the eShop.
1. Wonder red in smash
2. Bayonetta on eshop
3. New platinum game for Wii U in development
Give us a demo! =)
I'm thinking (hoping) that it's announcing a North American deal like Europe and Australia received: 30% discount on W101 if you download this and Pikmin - which would suck if you lived in an area already receiving the discount, but it's good for the U.S. and Canada
OKAMI! OKAMI! OKAMI!
I can dream <3
I'm hoping for Bayonetta 1 Port or Wonder Red in Smash.
@letsplay quick call a doctor... That is not normal.
On a serious note, I would like to see a sequel to MadWorld, or at least another game set in the world.
Guesses! Take yer pick!
-Starfox U
-Bayonetta 1 come to Wii U
-Wonderful 101 Demo
-Bayonetta 2 Demo will be on Wonderful 101 disc
-Wonder Red joins Smash Bros.
@MrWalkieTalkie Come to think of it... How about Viewtiful Joe being in the game? Perfect fit, and I doubt there's a licence issue since it's a Clover Studios /Platinum Games IP...
My 3 guesses:
1. 101 demo
2. Bayonetta 2 release date
3. Bayonetta 1 eShop release today.
@Shambo
If I am not mistaken, the Clover IPs are Capcom's now. That is why Viewtiful Joe appears in their fighting games and Okamiden was made by a Capcom team.
It'll be something disappointing, I bet.
I think they might say Wonder Red will be in Smash Bros.
Thank god Wonder Red won't be in SSB4.
Demo though... I'll pass.
If it's Bayonetta on eShop I'll die from a heart attack. If it's Star Fox my eyes will fall out of my head and my skin will melt off.
was the demo the special announcement? will pass also as don't want to spoil playing it for the first time.
I'd be pretty stoked with a demo of W101... I haven't had a chance to play it yet, and everyone who has, has been raving about it.
@Judgedean Where was the demo announced?
Bayonetta on eShop would be so dope. And a Platinum Games Star Fox? Yes!!!
Bayonetta on eShop would be so dope. And a Platinum Games Star Fox? Yes!!!
@element187
At the very end there was a message saying demo available from 4pm today.
@Judgedean But was the demo info on the Direct? Because they said the "special" announcement would be AFTER the direct ... Just saying
where can we see the special announcement?
That twitter coment says "shortly after not at the end" so the demo isnt the special announcement...so what could it be?!HYYYYPE!
where can we find the announcement?! I'm starting to regret not switching off my internet.
@LUIGITORNADO in that case, I have good news for you.
@sinalefa you're probably right, otherwise they might've played a bit more safe and made this "The Viewtiful 101". Still, sounds Wonderful.
They still haven't announced whatever it is? Alrighty, back to work then.
Shortly after,kamiya not hours after! Wheres this announcement?!
If you watch the Nintendo Direct video on Nintendo's youtube channel, there is no mention of the demo. So I'm guessing that perhaps the demo announcement was not considered officially part of the Direct broadcast, and is in fact the "special announcement"?
Okami 3 please!
It was nothing. Time to move on.
GOD WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN!?
