About The Game
Strength in Numbers
Earth is under attack from an invasion of enormous aliens, and the only thing that can protect the planet is a group of unlikely, yet mighty, heroes with special abilities. Unfortunately, the aliens are too powerful for the heroes to fight individually. They must join forces and work together to defeat their common enemy. These uniquely different heroes can morph into powerful weapons to crush the invaders or turn into objects like a giant fist or bridge to interact with and traverse the environments.
FEATURES:
- Players must explore each stage to find helpless citizens and recruit them to join their army of heroes. The more heroes you gather, the greater your Special Morph Powers will be.
- Players can use the Wii U GamePad’s touch screen to command heroes such as Bonzai Man, Vending Machine Man and even Toilet Bowl Man. Heroes can also morph into gelatin to guard themselves from enemy attacks.
- Players can also use the GamePad to explore areas unseen on the TV screen and solve puzzle elements.
- PlatinumGames, known for hit titles like Bayonetta and MadWorld, has partnered with Nintendo to apply its unique talent to the development of one of the first games for Wii U.

Superhero pikimin?
This will be canned soon belive me
@Fabian: Why would it? It looks awesome and no, I don't believe you.
@Fabian Sorry it wasn't canned It looks awesome
A new IP from the guy behind Viewtiful Joe.
Can't wait!
These guys would honestly be a great addition to Smash Bros. U, even if it'll still be "too new" of a game.
this game looks amazing. when is it out in England?
Still no release date? It's supposed to be out by the end of June.
As soon as I saw the art style of this, I thought of Viewtiful Joe. Such a great, unfinished series...I hope this turns out just as good!
I can't wait to get this Game... Looks So Fun !!!!
Captain Falcon
