Thomas Whitehead... WONDERFUL job on your review. As much as I truly support both Nintendo and PlatinumGames, The Wonderful 101 are the newest members of both the Nintendo and PlatinumGames family. I'm glad that your country is getting it first a day before Japan's release and then in my country next month. At least it gives me enough time for me to fatten up my wallet, buy it, and play the game!
At least Nintendo is getting full support from Ubisoft, Activision, WB Games and independent developers. BTW, The Wonderful 101 is also a Nintendo published title. This is only a genesis of what's to come... especially Miyamoto's new title coming up later during the U's lifespan.
@koopakid @WaveBoy Why such sad faces? Just because NintendoLife have scored The Wonderful 101 a 9 out of 10 doesn't mean it's stupid. It's a brand new Nintendo title that redefine fun, challenging, dexterity, and has great replay value. If you're not a fan of Nintendo games overall, you're most definitely not a gamer in general... period.
If Peter Jackson were to direct The Legend of Zelda picture, Orlando Bloom (or Elijah Wood) would have been the perfect Link and Zelda Williams would have been Princess Zelda. You hear that, New Line Cinema?!!!!!
Narrator: It is the Sixteenth Century. From all over Europe great ships sail west to conquer the New World - the Americas; the men eager to seek their fortune, to find new adventures in new lands. They long to cross uncharted seas and discover unknown countries; to find secret gold on a mountain trail high in the Andes. They dream of following the path of the setting sun, that leads to El Dorado and The Mysterious Cities of Gold.
I've read your reply a few minutes ago. And from what I've read, you're right about it... both The Pinball Arcade and Zen Pinball 2 are the best in the video pinball genre. If Zen Studios can do it, so can FarSight Studios.
If it's true, Zen Pinball 2 is gonna have some competition at the Wii U eShop. Let's hope that The Pinball Arcade is the most DEFINITIVE pinball experience. For right now, Zen Pinball 2 is one my favorites.
On September 15th, I'm buying The Wonderful 101. And when next year comes, I'm buying Bayonetta 2. And I hope the CEO gives to the go ahead to Kamiya-san to develop StarFox for the U right away!
Bayonetta 2 is ultimately a MEGATON of fun on the Wii U. Full HD, 60 fps, two different gameplay methods, and 2-player co-op! Nintendo and PlatinumGames have ultimately pushed the envelope in more ways than one. When this game launches next year, I'm gonna buy it!
I'm buying Nintendo/PlatinumGames' Bayonetta 2 when it's launched for the U! And if SEGA gives PG the green light to release the original at the eShop, I'm STILL buying it!
Never underestimate Nintendo at all, mister. We need more Wii U news including the release date of each and every game. Releasing New Super Luigi U, Pikmin 3, and The Wonderful 101 are just the beginning of the Big N's rebirth of the U.
Sega is going on all cylinders in making an epic Sonic title only for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. And if developer Sonic Team were to use Cross Platform Play and exchange saving info from 3DS to Wii U... and from Wii U to 3DS, you're looking at the next big thing since sliced bread.
OUTSTANDING JOB on your Super Mario World review! This game is ultimately the BEST Super NES title of the 1990's and truly one of the best title ever made in the 20th century. It's great to relieve the past once more... and Super Mario World are one of the prime examples.
My oldest nephew was a die-hard fan of River City Ransom back in the 1990s. I didn't know that Technos (Double Dragon) was responsible of developing that NES title. I hope this game comes to both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.
Nintendo is on fire this week! First, we'll be getting the reduced load times from game to menu/Wara Wara Plaza... and then Wii U Panorama View... and finally-- the grand opening of the Wii U Virtual Console with NES and Super NES games. We'll look forward to more Wii U titles-- VC's, first, second and third parties, more indy games... and hopefully more apps.
No longer will I have to wait 20 to 30 seconds for the Wii U menu/Wara Wara Plaza to return. I'm looking forward to next week's megaton update including Virtual Console with NES and Super NES games and Wii U Panorama View!
I've never played Portal on either the comp or home consoles, but was deeply impressed at Q.U.B.E. Since it's already released on Steam, I'm extremely pumped to see this game to be released at the eShop for Wii U. The off-TV gameplay using the GamePad is gonna be off the chain and the graphics will run as smooth as the PC counterpart. All we need now is a release date for Q.U.B.E. U.
I've just gotten NFS: Most Wanted U last Thursday afternoon. I'm glad that the review was right... it's indeed a 9 out of 10. HD graphics, exotic cars (foreign and domestic), asymmetric co-driver mode, challenging rival cars... and 100% pure fun!!!!! I love this game!
I have one word for Square/Enix and Eidos Montreal when it comes to Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut for the U-- DEAL!!!!! I'm buying it when it's released!
Rein needs to prove everyone wrong that the Unreal Engine 4 is possible to run on Wii U's hardware and take advantage like Criterion Games had with Need for Speed: Most Wanted U.
@Obvious78 - I highly doubt that Nintendo will ever let Bayonetta 2 go multiplat. Not to mention that they're publishing that sequel exclusively for Wii U.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Helping Developers to Convert Smartphone Games to Wii U
@Sony_70 They already did... it's called Madden NFL 13.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Helping Developers to Convert Smartphone Games to Wii U
I hope that rumor is true. Nintendo is truly pushing the envelope in more ways than one. The Wii U is, IMHO, the Super NES of 2013!
