The Wonderful 101 (Kickstarted on Switch!)

I was really surprised on how bad this has done in japan, can understand it not selling well in the west but over there.

I can understand it because it is peculiar. Luckily it is performing better (UK) than the game Kamiya called out. Shows what creativity does I guess.

Almost a week with this, and the best way I can sum it is by saying it's frustratingly fun. I've spent half of my time with it wondering what the hell I'm supposed to be doing, or being killed by the latest giant, maniac robot. That being said, I'm finding it to be highly enjoyable. Well, apart from when I fall to my death because I have no idea how to fly the glider...

I've just started it, and it's nice that the first level is bigger than in the demo. Maybe I'm just better, but it seems easier, too (although I still had to use two health objects). Anyone know how to determine which attacks can break through the 10-ton weight transformation?

STEP 1: Get attacked when in 10-on transformation
STEP 2: Remember what it was that attacked you

I'm getting used to wheeling out this chap for Beemoh's posts:  

I still find it funny that the voice actor for Wonder Blue also voiced Chris Redfield & Ezio. (From Resi & Assassins Creed)

Fun fact: the same guy is the current voice of Sonic the Hedgehog.

I've done operation 0-3 it's a good game, but not much else.

I wondered why I hated wonder blue so much

Wonder Blue is a tit full stop.

A bluetit?

I do quite like his catchphrase, though. By which I mean, I like the way it peters out every time.

There aren't enough Sonic fans on this site. Where's Phillips when you need 'im?

I'm beginning to feel like I'm missing out here. I should really take the full version for a spin, shouldn't I?

I'm here, and I also think that Wonder Blue's voice is annoying, and that he's generally a bit of a walloper.

I think this game would have been better without a story at all. It's not funny, it's not interesting, nobody bought it for the cutscenes. Just launching your party into the action would have added to the madness in a good way.

I disagree. I've found some of the cut-scenes funny. That said, there isn't a single Wonder-Colour so far that I can stand, and that looks set to continue as more racial/gender stereotypes are added.

I don't mind Wonder Blue  myself. I don't mind the cut scenes either, I've only got two wonder colors to see which include the black dude as wonder black.

I kind of zone out during the cut-scenes, particularly now I've unlocked Wonder Stéréotype.

The thing reminds me of Kid Icarus: Uprising; you need to get used to the controls and it provides a barrier to the fun. Dusty said it best when he said "frustrating fun". When I get to be happy that I can draw the shapes acccurately 80% of the time, I think it'll get more enjoyable.

The only unite move that's frustrating to draw is the hammer, and weirdly the only that makes sense to use the touch screen with.

Finally picked this up. I was waiting in case I received it from family for my birthday (I didn't). Haven't gotten much past the demo level yet but the opening was great, and I love what happens when I pause.

That's always funny, and yeah the power rangers now looking back was kinda racist / sexist with there ranger choices.

Thanks to Matthew 'The castle' Castle on twitter he put me onto these useful combat tips video, its definitely helped me improve at the game.

I could definitely do with giving them a watch later. I ended up having to quit out of the first level because I hadn't bought what I thought was an optional upgrade but was basically integral.

Isn't that a pain? What a way to introduce players to the game proper!
