Gameplay looks kinda ok, but man the art style is so off putting....what's with that horrible chibi look?!

I don't know, this games missing that charm, I mean I've played some bad bad looking games like Deadly premonition on the PS3, and yet it's art style suited it's tone, despite looking like a crappy PS2 game, I very much enjoyed it, it had a charm, a spark that made me like it, and one that caught my interest before it was even released on the PS3, W101 currently doesn't poses this at all for me, still I'm sure people will like it, and I hope Platinum do well with this game, cuz I like their games in general.


So a cartoony comic like style doesn't fit with a super hero game? common lol.


it's not the cartoony comic artstyle per se that I have issues with, rather the retarded ugly character designs. The chibi look in anime is fine cuz it's suppose to be cute when they do it, in W101, its just off putting, rather than looking cute, they come of as looking like ugly midgets (no offence to RL midgets).

ign review: 7.5 because it's too hard for me to draw a circle on the touchscreen.

Anyone else think this game is extremely good looking, graphics wise?

I do, it was an incredible advance since the first trailer.

Man, this is really wonderful. Best wiiU game as far as I'm concerned and the only one I'll probably miss if I don't get a wiiU. Hoping a friend of mine does, so that I can try this.


Why not get one yourself?


Limited funds force me to be a one console kinda guy ;)

As much as I want to see this I don't want to spoil it for myself when I play it in a couple of months. But I'm sure it's quite viewtiful.


Was that a typo or were u referencing Viewtiful Joe?  I would love that series to return on Wii U

Oh no, it was completely intentional.

Hideki Kamiya, the director of W101, was also the director of Viewtiful Joe and many people from Clover Studios are now at Platinum Games.

It has the same awesome style that Joe had, which I love. In fact, I thought that the voice of the Red hero was Dee Bradly Baker, the same actor that voiced Joe, but apparently it isn't.

I think it's gorgeous. Many people who downplay the visuals in this game are simply not taking in to account how smooth it runs. This trailer directly from Platinum's site is at a full 60fps and really shows how the game actually runs compared to any of the Youtube vids I've seen:

Yep I kinda think of this as a spiritual successor to Viewtiful Joe

Too colorful for IGN - need more brown and grey
