Outspoken Platinum Games designer Hideki Kamiya surprised a fan this morning with a startling announcement. According to him, The Wonderful 101, one of the original titles showcased as a Wii U exclusive, is coming to the United States next week.
We've reached out to Nintendo of America for confirmation or clarification, but if true, this would be a startling move. Nintendo certainly needs unique and exciting titles like The Wonderful 101, but successful releases require preparation and promotion (and it's a good idea to share that information with retailers).
Kamiya made waves this week by stating on Twitter, "If u hate to finish a game the next day u buy it, u better not play TW101. I focus on how it is fun, not how long it lasts till the ending." This was later clarified to be a hyperbolic statement by executive vice president and executive producer Atsushi Inaba.
We'll update as we get more information.
