Not just you; Viewtiful Joe and W101 have the same director; Hideki Kamiya.

It seems that you can highlight different members of your team on the touchpad, changing the leader for example. Not sure if this makes a difference to moves you can pull off. There's a lot of stuff to figure out.
Yes.

The Trailer was absolutely fantastic ! I had the game preprdered already but the Direct sold me on W101 so hard ...again.
To anyone having problems with the Demo: Try it a second and a third time, this is one of those games that seems overwhelming at first and then suddenly BAM everything falls into place and the game clicks !
My first playthrough was a massacre and I got a plastic statue at the end....my third playthrough got rewarded with a Platinum Statue :D !
Fantastic !!
Finally a Wii U game that caught my eye. Color me intrigued.

You can change your leader which changes the default special you have access to via the A button, doesn't stop you using the other specials though. I'm sure there's more to it than this through the game but that seemed to be the extent of it in the demo.
Demo was a little hard to get your head around at first go so take anything I say with a grain of salt.

I don't know, I'd classify the Pikmin franchise as more action adventure than strategy and The Wonderful 101 as a pure action game myself.

The trailer don't have so much gameplay, more cutscenes.
Anyways, the demo suggests the game is not too easy (at least for me) and has a good pace of action while playing.

I more understood it the way, that nobody ever knows the identity of Superman, although the reader of the comic or the watchers of the movie know it. But these watchers are outside of the imagined world of Superman. Same here, we are players that look from our world into the games world.
sth88 said: The art style is gorgeous, and I love the Saturday morning cartoon-style storytelling. The gameplay, on the other hand, I'm not sure about. I imagine it would probably make more sense if I got some hands-on time with the game, but right now it looks a bit too chaotic to me, like it would be a little tough to keep track of what you are doing with all the other heroes swarming around you. |
As I played the demo - you always play the hero marked as leader (with a circle around the character). You can switch the leader and it happens automatically if you use different unite morphs (was that the name), as different leaders provide different of these morphs. Wonder Red is the Hand, Wonder Blue the Sword and so on. The others are following the leader or are used in the unite moves. That works pretty well I have to say.

No surprise, as the developers are Platinum, that was formed from members from Clover that made Viewtiful Joe.
