Very cool. Platinum continues to rock. Now just make a Gurren Lagann game on Wii U that's amazing mech combat mixed with The Wind Waker and Skyrim but also has strategyelements in big battles.

Oh and do a true follow to Okami, but without it being Okami....because...you know that's a Capcom IP.

Looks like they finally combined Pikmin and No More Heroes 2!

Lets not show this new game at the press conference. Instead lets show ports of games from last year.

Evidently someone notable from the Bayonetta team worked on this, so it should be interesting at least.

This is what Nintendo needed for their press conference becuase this looks awesome! However, I do agree that this would steal some thunder from Pikmin 3.

Well, they're making me buy an MGS game I otherwise wouldn't care about, so I guess they got me here. They were one of the reasons I bought a wii in the first place. Fuck you Platinum

Why not just put Metal Gear Rising on Wii U? I'm very suspicious of you Nintendo.

A TIME/DAMAGE/COMBO rating system after every encounter, every unique enemy getting their own splash screen upon introduction, batshit crazy humor and super self-referential as shit.

This is a Kamiya game if I ever saw one.

I think most of the comments comparing it to Pikmin explain why it wasn't shown at the conference. The game looks awesome and hopefully it'll actually makes it stateside (just never know with Nintendo). However, it does have similarities to Pikmin and why draw attention away from what ended up being Nintendo's biggest announcement at their press conference.

I think they didn't show this because it would steal some thunder from Miyamoto's Pikmin. But this isn't Pikmin, it is extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeme Pikmin.

Okay, this gives me more reason to want a Wii U. Depending on price, I might be getting one this Christmas.

I think we may find out in the upcoming weeks after TGS that a lot of stuff wasn't in the press conference.

Apparently Spike had an exclusivity contract.

I kept asking myself the same question. It's a new IP for a new console. Why did this get shoved aside for Nintendoland and wii fit?

Honestly, I think the main reason they did not show it on the main stage is that it looks so much like Pikmin they would want to avoid at all cost giving people the easy thought of "So......wiiU will have TWO Pikmin-type games? Ok.....".

This game looks like a game that would be made if Hideki Kamiya was given a job at Double Fine.

The lack of this and the Wario game really makes me question just what Nintendo thinks its doing.
