E3 2012: Project P-100 is a Viewtiful Example of the Wii U’s Potential

Justin Berube of RipTen writes: "One part Viewtiful Joe and one part Pikmin, Project P-100 from Platinum Games might be one of the most exciting exclusives for the Wii U. What’s so weird is that this game, to be published by Nintendo, wasn’t even shown at the press conference, and it really should have been because the game is fun!

Project P-100, name not final, is kind of like an action beat’em up game with a few puzzle elements. Nintendo officially defines the genre as, “Mass-Hero Action”."

This looks like a must-have launch title... assuming it makes it.

Loved what I saw at the show, really hoping this becomes a sleeper hit.

This might be to the WiiU what Viewtiful Joe was to the GameCube. A criminally-overlooked gem. So far Nintendo has given me a good enough reason to buy a WiiU.

The Wonderful 101 Hands On Preview - PixlBit

PixlBit | "I’m going to go on a limb here and say that The Wonderful 101 will be a sleeper hit for the Wii U. While it has garnered some noticeable hype within some audiences, it is an easy game to overlook. For those not sure about the game, it is best described as being a simple mesh of Viewtiful Joe and Pikmin. After spending some time with the game, I must say that it went from a just game that looked interesting, to game that I’m really excited about."

One of the first (true) next gen games on the Wii U.

Makes me think of Fantastic Four or Super Friends.

Eh, I'll take it.
