E3 2012: Platinum Games announces new game for Wii U

Posted By | On 05th, Jun. 2012

Platinum Games announced a new game for the Wii U once Nintendo’s E3 conference was over, and it’s tentatively titles Project P-100. It looks a lot like Pikmin, which was incidentally also revealed today, and it certainly looks very enjoyable.

Nintendo describes the game as follows:

Earth is under attack from an invasion of enormous aliens, and the only thing that can protect the planet is a group of unlikely, yet mighty, heroes with special abilities. Unfortunately, the aliens are too powerful for the heroes to fight individually. They must join forces and work together to defeat their common enemy. These uniquely different heroes can morph into powerful weapons to crush the invaders or turn into objects like a giant fist or bridge to interact with and traverse the environments.

Here are some key features of the game:

Players must explore each stage to find helpless citizens and recruit them to join their army of heroes. The more heroes you gather, the greater your Special Morph Powers will be.

Players can use the Wii U GamePad’s touch screen to command heroes such as Bonzai Man, Vending Machine Man and even Toilet Bowl Man. Heroes can also morph into gelatin to guard themselves from enemy attacks.

Players can also use the GamePad to explore areas unseen on the TV screen and solve puzzle elements.
