Heroic Wii U Game Features Epic Game Play Built for a Superhero … 101 of Them!

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Earth’s only hope against an alien invasion is a team of 100 fearless superheroes, and they need YOUR help. Only you can unite these superheroes – not to become the “Just OK 101,” or even the “So-So 101,” but rather the Wonderful 101! Launching on Sept. 15 exclusively for the Wii U console, The Wonderful 101 is an incredibly vibrant action game that lets players control a team of superheroes that is trying to defeat alien invaders known as GEATHJERK. Individually, these superheroes pack a decent punch, but unite them together and they are unstoppable.

“The Wonderful 101 is one of the most over-the-top games on Wii U – in a good way,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Featuring hordes of heroes and enemies on screen at once, deep game play that rewards experimentation and several different uses for the Wii U GamePad, the game illustrates the kind of original and refreshing experiences that can only be found on Wii U.”



Gunman Clive is now up and running on Wii U. Does that mean the game will be coming to the system’s eShop sometime in the future?

Well, not exactly. Creator Bertil Hörberg did show a picture of Gunman Clive on the GamePad on Twitter earlier today, but cautioned that a Wii U version is “still not decided.” As of now, he’s porting tech and “trying out the hardware for now.”

You could say that Namco Bandai and Disney have fostered a close relationship. Namco Bandai developed and published Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life in Japan just a few weeks ago, and it has now been revealed that the company will be bringing over Disney Infinity as well. Interestingly, only the Wii U and 3DS versions will be localized.

The single player trailer for Call of Duty: Ghosts that was revealed yesterday showcased a bit of the story that we didn’t know about previously: Something called ‘Rods of God’ would be used as the stage for the apocalyptic events in the game. ‘Rods of God’ are effectively just giant cylinders dropped from low-earth-orbit that smack into the ground and cause mass devastation– and Activision community manager Dan Amrich says it’s not terribly fictional:


“Telephone poles from space? It’s actually more science than science fiction. The concept of kinetic bombardment – nicknamed in the science and defense communities as “Rods from God” – has been used in sci-fi stories for years by authors including Robert Heinlein, Larry Niven, and Neal Stephenson, but it’s also been seriously considered by the United States Air Force as a military strike that could create mass devastation without nuclear fallout.”

“Say what you will about its over-the-top gameplay and action-movie attitude, but Call of Duty still plays in the realm of plausibility.”
