“It’s not a niche game and so it has the potential to transcend to a wider audience, which I think is an opportunity for both console and the game brand.”

– Nintendo UK product manager Danielle Robinson


Whether The Wonderful 101 is a niche game or not is hard to say. It has the depth of all of Platinum’s brawlers, but (played on easy mode) it’s also pretty accessible and easy to button-mash through. Honestly, I think if a kid and his parent saw it on store shelves, it’d look like the kind of thing they’d want to buy. Maybe that’s the appeal Nintendo is aiming for.
