Briefly: Could The Wonderful 101 be the Wii U’s much needed killer app?

The Wonderful 101 is less than a week away from hitting store shelves… at least in Europe and Japan (North Americans will be waiting until mid-September), and Nintendo has just debuted a wonderful launch trailer for the highly anticipated title.

Juan gave us some pretty fantastic coverage of the game during this year’s amazing San Diego Comic-Con, and if his excitement is any indication, The Wonderful 101 is guaranteed to be something special. It’s been some time since I’ve picked up a new Wii U game (though I still really need to get on Pikmin 3), but I will definitely be lining up for this one.

Take a look at the launch trailer below, and let us know if you’re excited!

At the beginning of the week, I was thinking that there hadn’t been a Nintendo Direct conference since E3. Apparently since my mind willed it so, it was soon announced that yesterday’s Direct would take place, but after a two month wait, nearly 30 minutes of news wasn’t enough. It’s safe to say that the next Direct is poised to be “wonderful.”

Tomorrow at 10 AM Eastern and 7PM Pacific, a second Nintendo Direct for the week will play, which will be completely dedicated to the upcoming action title from Platinum Games, The Wonderful 101. The creators of Viewtiful Joe, Okami and Bayonetta have been working on this one since before the Wii U’s launch, so it will be exciting to find out what new information they have to share with the release date drawing closer.

In the mean time, check out our hands on previews of the game from last year’s E3 and at this year’s Comic Con. Be sure to check back tomorrow as we find out even more about what makes this highly anticipated game tick.

The Wonderful 101 is scheduled to hit the Wii U on September 15th.

Briefly: Following the playable demo from this year’s Comic-Con, Nintendo has debuted a new gameplay trailer for Platinum Games highly anticipated The Wonderful 101.

The new preview showcases plenty of the game’s intriguing heroes and their incredible powers, and gives us a great idea of what to expect when the game launches this September (or earlier, if you don’t live in North America).

Juan gave us some pretty fantastic coverage of the game during last week’s amazing San Diego Comic-Con. If his excitement is any indication, The Wonderful 101 may just be that killer app that the Wii U is desperately needing. Watch the new gameplay trailer below, and let us know if you’re excited!
