Nintendo product manager says Wonderful 101 could “transcend to a wider audience”, “it’s not a niche game”

– 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.

NetherRealm will have an update on Injustice: Gods Among Us Wii U DLC “soon”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Wii U has not been on parity with other platforms when it comes to Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC. For unknown reasons, the system has been receiving new content later than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Some of the more recent DLC has also yet to land on Wii U.
It does, at least, look like the situation will be discussed in the near future. NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon said the following on Twitter a short while ago regarding Wii U DLC:
RT @WaltersBrad @noobde Can u guys even talk about the situation with Wii U not getting any dlc lately? EB: Yes. An update is coming soon.
