The Wonderful 101 features the inclusion of a special hero. Believe it or not, it’s based on director Hideki Kamiya.
The hidden character was revealed in a newly published Iwata Asks today. Players will come across him if they “play it enough”. And according to Nintendo’s Shingo Matsushita, “he can do something a bit unique”.
Platinum Games has updated its Wonderful 101 blog with yet another post. You can find it here. Today’s update covers the leveling system.
Nicalis originally announced Yatagarasu for the 3DS eShop. There was radio silence since the reveal last August, but the company finally gave an update today. Unfortunately, Nintendo fans won’t be pleased with the news.
Yatagarasu is no longer in development for 3DS. Nicalis explained today that the project was switched to the PlayStation Vita “due to the incredibly overwhelming response from the fighting gaming community.”
It’s been a few months since Nordic Games acquired some of THQ’s key franchises, including Darksiders. Where do things stand at the moment?
Nordic’s Reinhard Pollice told Joystiq:
“It takes longer than expected getting everything together because THQ, there are not a lot of people there. There are just like five people and they’re mostly financial and administration guys. So the stuff that we need is really hard to get. I’ve been visiting them a lot of times, trying to make sure we get everything that we actually want, or that we should get.”
Darksiders was among the more interesting franchises picked up by Nordic. However, a new entry is still a very long ways off. Nordic is currently in contact with a few staffers from the now-defunct Vigil Games, though because a “certain core” of employees moved on to Crytek US, they probably won’t be working on any future Darksiders projects.
