Heroic Wii U Game Features Epic Game Play Built for a Superhero … 101 of Them!

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Earth’s only hope against an alien invasion is a team of 100 fearless superheroes, and they need YOUR help. Only you can unite these superheroes – not to become the “Just OK 101,” or even the “So-So 101,” but rather the Wonderful 101! Launching on Sept. 15 exclusively for the Wii U console, The Wonderful 101 is an incredibly vibrant action game that lets players control a team of superheroes that is trying to defeat alien invaders known as GEATHJERK. Individually, these superheroes pack a decent punch, but unite them together and they are unstoppable.

“The Wonderful 101 is one of the most over-the-top games on Wii U – in a good way,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Featuring hordes of heroes and enemies on screen at once, deep game play that rewards experimentation and several different uses for the Wii U GamePad, the game illustrates the kind of original and refreshing experiences that can only be found on Wii U.”

Gunman Clive is now up and running on Wii U. Does that mean the game will be coming to the system’s eShop sometime in the future?

Well, not exactly. Creator Bertil Hörberg did show a picture of Gunman Clive on the GamePad on Twitter earlier today, but cautioned that a Wii U version is “still not decided.” As of now, he’s porting tech and “trying out the hardware for now.”
