The Wonderful 101 is the first game for the Wii U that more people should really be paying attention too. As it’s really the first original IP for a retail product that exists outside of the eShop, hopefully it the game will also herald in the rise of a flood of games that will keep coming at a consistent pace. So suit up and move out gamers, this is The Wonderful 101.

The Wonderful 101 is the latest game from Platinum Games and director Hideki Kamiya and Producer Atsushi Inaba. The game draws many elements from past titles like Devil May Cry, Okami, and especially Bayonetta. The game is about a team of secret agents that can become warriors with incredible powers, especially when they band together and unite. It’s like something out of Tokusatsu (think Power Rangers or Kamen Rider) TV Shows, come to life as a game, and it works quite well.

Fortunately this just gave the developers added time to pad out what is simply an incredible offering of some of the best platforming you’ll find this generation.
