Today im going to be briefly giving my thoughts on the Wonderful 101 Demo that recently went up on the Eshop.
So what is the Wonderful 101? Well, its kind of hard to put into a genre but if i were to try then i would say its an Action Adventure game. Despite a striking resemblence to Pikmin it actually plays alot more like a traditional Action Adventure, more like Metal Gear Rising than Nintendo's plant-a-thon to be honest. Its made by the guys at Platinum Games (Famous for Bayonetta and Vanquish among others) and is the first part of there dual Nintendo published titles (the other being Bayonetta 2).
Right so lets get to the gameplay in slightly more detail. First off, it looks fantastic. It might be the best looking game ive played so far on the Wii U, its a perfect blend of a HD engine and Nintedo-esque art design that makes fantastic use of both of the Wii U's screens.
The main gameplay is very Bayonetta as mentioned above but the real touch pad gimmick is essentially a glorified weapon select. You draw a rough image of the item you want to use, press A and then you have that weapon. Its a cool looking gimmick but i feel that in a boss fight that may prove a problem. Other than that its a pretty good game, once you get used to how the game plays and can follow the sometimes hectic screen, you get a game that is really unique, smooth and most of all fun.
Also as a side note, i was only able to give the local multiplayer a little play but looks FANTASTIC. its plays in a co-op mission system that i think myself and my GF will have alot of fun with.
Overall this is the first step to making the Wii U a much more viable sale, its great and with this and Pikmin 3 being within a month, then having a great looking Zelda: Wind Waker remake coming soon after, its finally a good time to be a Wii U Owner.
