News has come out over the past few weeks that The Wonderful 101 was originally imagined as a Nintendo all-star game. Characters from the company’s stable of franchises would have joined together in a brand new adventure.

Ultimately, that idea wasn’t meant to be. But if it had released as originally intended, The Wonderful 101 director Hideki Kamiya believes it would have been quite a different title.
