The Wonderful 101 demo is now live in Europe. Just how big is it? You’ll need 1,537 MB available in order to download the demo. For reference, the full game is over 10GB.
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.
Today’s presentation will run for 20 minutes. We’ll post details below.

A Special Limited-Time Wi-Fi Distribution Event to Celebrate Mega Evolution Begins
Worldwide on October 12th, 2013
BELLEVUE, WA–August 9, 2013–In what could be described as an Evolution beyond all Evolutions, Mega Evolution is a new, awe-inspiring transformation certain Pokémon can undergo during battle in the highly anticipatedPokémon X and Pokémon Y video games. Pokémon that Mega Evolve will tap into hidden reserves of strength and power that have never been realized in their regular Evolutions, giving players battling with a Mega-Evolved Pokémon a dominant advantage. Mega Evolutions will revolutionize Pokémon battles and usher in a new Pokémon transformation never before seen in the Pokémon world.
Pokémon like Mega Mewtwo and Mega Lucario will harness the power of Mega Evolution in battle and will see their looks change and stats increase, giving Trainers a great advantage against their opponents. Some Pokémon that Mega Evolve may even change their Ability or type while in battle. Only certain Pokémon, under certain conditions, can Mega Evolve, and unlike regular Evolution, Mega Evolution only occurs during battle–once the battle ends, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will return to its usual state. One crucial element to undergoing Mega Evolution is a particular kind of item called a Mega Stone. Mega Stones are special stones that exist for all Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, each named after the Pokémon to which it grants power. For instance, the Lucarionite Mega Stone will help Lucario Mega Evolve. Mega Stones are hidden throughout the Kalos region, and players must find them to unlock the incredible power of Mega Evolution.
