I disagree. You would surprised how easy it is to do some of the moves with the stick. Don't know all the shapes though. The gun and sword were easy to do.
The Wonderful 101 had Platinum's biggest team size and their longest dev cycle

When Nintendo inevitably announce Wonder Red for Smash tomorrow, pre-orders are gonna skyrocket. 
Seriously, this is be the best marketing the game could get in my opinion. And call me optimistic, but I think it's gonna happen...! We'll see.

Cool, we'll finally get Viewtiful Joe in Smash.
Seriously though, he could be a hell of a character.

I think this game will do decently. Wow at everyone looking for this to BOMB!!
Of course Nintendo and Platinum want it to sell, but Nintendo funded this and Bayo 2 to expand the Wii U library, worst case it does not sell, but in the end the Wii U ends up more attractive to the hardcore gamers.

I probably could have qualified that statement a bit better than I did. I will say though that Pikmin 3, this, Bayo 2, and that Monolith game are the only things I've really been interested in. Maybe Smash

For whatever reason, gamers are more into Schadenfreude-ing Nintendo than supporting one of their favorite developers. I'll never be able to wrap my head around it.

I know right? I hope this game pulls a Viewtiful Joe and sells out. Not the seemingly fake 2nd sell out either.

Day One 
New video preview from the Sixth Axis that's pretty positive (with a lot of new footage).

This makes so much sense I'm going to be disappointed if it doesn't happen now. It would totally make me want you get the new Smash (never been a huge fan in the past).

Sounds good.
"Feel the sting of my Valiantium Blade!"
I'm liking Wonder Blue. He's voiced by the guy who did Sonic the Hedgehog.

Heres a quick video of the settings menu. Nothing special, but I'm sure people are eager for anything new.

I bought a PS3 for FF Versus XIII
People bought 360's for just halo, people bought PS3's just for GOW III. Countless Wii's were bought for just Wii Sports. Hell, we got people now who buy mostly only sports games or CoD once a year. Its far more common practice than you think.

I bought my 3DS just for Kid Icarus Uprising. Worth every penny.
Yeah, I think it's pretty common for people. I got a 3DS only once SM3DL came out.

Yep. Revelations best version was Wii U as well.

The fact is that Smash will release no earlier than 2014, so that may make the IP known to mainstream public in the case of a W101 sequel, not to help with the sales right now.

it will bomb sales wise. not to be mean, but there's not a lot of wii u's out there in a wild and this game doesn't look like the game that would have people flocking to stores to buy it.
i'm on the fence about it. i still don't really know wtf it is. it's so niche though. maybe i'll just rent it.

Haha, I bought one for Last Guardian...
Wow, I feel sorry for you, at least my game exists.

There are 3M+ of WiiU out there, most of its owners being game enthusiasts (casuals still don't know what the F a Wii U is). If there's a WiiU game for that public I'd say this is it. On that light 1M of sales doesn't seem that unlikely, which IMO should make the game anything but a bomb...

There's going to be a ND dedicated exclusively to W101 in like 14 hours and a half, tomorrow we'll know more.

To say "it WILL bomb" is mean. 'Cause you don't know this, and all it does is spread negative vibes.
It's tough to say how well this game will sell. There's nothing like it. The Wii U userbase is around 3.5m and some people are buying one just for this game.
This is the first game that really uses the gamepad in all sorts of ways. That will appeal to a lot of wii u users to play a game that justifies the gamepad. This is a new IP, with fresh gameplay mechanics that really use the gamepad. So its tough to say if it's niche.
Is there not any titles that become good sellers that could be considered niche before they were released?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not guaranteeing this will sell really good. I'm just saying, lets wait and see before we make conclusions.
This title could also have good legs with sales down the road since there's nothing else like it and its uses of the gamepad.
PC son
Yeah. I have a half decent pc so there's literally no reason for me to buy any multiplayform games on wii U. I only have one for the exclusives like TW101, which looks excellent.
