The Wonderful 101 demo releasing today

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 1 Comment

As was mentioned during today’s European Wonderful 101 Direct (absent from the North American version), Wii U owners will be able to grab a demo for the game starting today. If I’m remembering correctly, this will be the first Wii U demo for a Nintendo-published game.

The demo actually has not been confirmed for North America as of yet. It should be up in Europe within the next 40 minutes.

Platinum’s announcement will be after Wonderful 101 Direct

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments

We've updated today's blog post because there was a little misunderstanding regarding the timing of today's extra announcement.

The announcement will be made SHORTLY AFTER the Nintendo Direct, not at the end. Our apologies for the confusion! http://t.co/AnupsHZabf

Platinum Games’ announcement, originally teased through a blog post yesterday, won’t actually be made during today’s The Wonderful 101 Direct. Instead, the news will be shared “shortly after” the presentation. What could Platinum have in store?
