This seemed to be the most exciting thing announced for Wii U. Why wasn't it at Nintendo's show?
The Wonderful 101
Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Aug 23, 2013
An action game from Hideki Kamiya, originally designed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii U. Control one hundred superheroes in real-time as they save the Earth from a massive alien invasion.
Did anyone else just see this on GTTV?
Can you post a link? I'm not seeing it on GTTV.
Looked pretty neat. Doesn't seem like a system seller, but it's nice to see an original property besides ZombiU. Also, it's made by Platinum, which is always a good sign.

Any number of reasons, really. My guess is that Nintendo had already spoken with Warner Bros. and Ubisoft about making appearances as third-party representatives at the press conference. In any case, it's not like not showing this game at the conference is the end of the world. I'm still rolling my eyes at the supposed sense of betrayal some of the people were raging about in the forums in this morning. And Nintendo still has their 3DS conference tomorrow.

Looks like Pikmin mixed with Devil May Cry. I'm a bit disappointed that it looks to be Kamiya's ugliest game in over a decade (especially since his games from Viewtiful Joe onward have been so fucking good-looking), but it certainly does look like it could be a really good time.
It's Pikmin mixed with Viewtiful Joe (hence the scarf on the little dude/champion near the end). Ugliest game? It looks great so far. The game isn't even named or complete yet.

While it is obviously still in early development (It's still called Project *insert name*) it does looks extremely ugly, considering the fact that this is supposed to be next gen. It looks like a Gamecube game. But I'm entirely expecting for it to get nothing but better looking. It's Platinum - their track record so far is amazing looking games at rock solid framerates.

It looks like an Xbox 360 game, which it essentially is. Let's keep in mind the Wii U is not actually next gen.
I think it looks awesome.
In terms of character design it is perhaps a bit Viewtiful Joe-ish, but I was talking about the mechanics. Also, the game does look nice. I never said it didn't. It just doesn't even begin to approach the beauty of games like Joe, Okami and Bayonetta.@Icemael said:
