– Monolith Soft began by asking if you fans enjoyed the latest Nintendo Direct
– The game is in the final stages of development
– Staff are all in high spirits
– Nintendo’s own website for the game will need a bit more time to prepare
– Because of this, Monolith opened its own site
– It was something that was made in a hurry, but they were able to create the game’s main visual as seen on the top page of the website
– The folks at Monolith Soft initially feared that they would get in trouble after being told by Nintendo to wait a little longer for the site
– Nintendo simply responded with a “go ahead” and let them create the site
– Monolith isn’t sure if their website will become obsolete once Nintendo opens their own official website or if this one will manage to survive by having its own unique content, which they hope will be part of the fun as the release of the game gets nearer
– Either way, they’ll continue working with it and hope to establish a connection with the fans who check it out
– Fans thanked as well
– Can follow @XenobladeJP on Twitter

View post in Miiverse.

But that’s not all:

The mobiles are placed in different locations depending on the situation, and they tilt according to weight distribution. The stage also gets rearranged, so the ground may disappear temporarily during a remodel.

PlatinumGames translates blog post about The Wonderful 101 secret codes

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment

We recently posted some information about The Wonderful 101 about how to unlock special characters in the Wii U game. That information came from a Japanese PlatinumGames blog post, which has since been translated.

Check out an excerpt below.

Can you believe it’s already been 2 weeks since Bayonetta 2 released!?
Sometimes people tell me that game is the sole reason they bought a Wii U! Of course that makes us really, really happy, but while you’re at it, why not try The Wonderful 101 as well!? (Although I guess if you’re here on this site, reading this, you probably already have…)
Right, with that out of the way, I have a secret to share with you today!
We’ve been getting some messages here and there from people who are having trouble unlocking Wonder-Bayonetta in The Wonderful 101.
And with good reason! Out of all of the hidden characters in this game, Wonder-Bayo is by far the most difficult to get your hands on.
Our raven-haired beauty only shows herself to those who find all of the hidden items, fight the toughest enemies, and overcome the hardest challenges: only the most persistent and indomitable heroes!
