Hideki Kamiya may do a heck of a lot of trolling on Twitter, but he does actually interact with fans quite a bit. Today, Kamiya responded to a couple of items.

First, when asked if The Wonderful 101 will run in 1080p, Kamiya noted that you should play other games if graphics are your first priority:

A Wonderful 101 sequel will only be possible if the upcoming release sells well. If you have a Wii U, you should definitely consider investing in the game.

Thanks to Ahmad A for the tip.

Third-party support for Wii U was one topic discussed by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata during the company’s latest investor briefing Q&A.
