The Wonderful 101 gets release date

Nintendo and Platinum Games have announced a release date for The Wonderful 101, with the Wii U-exclusive title set to hit European consoles on August 23, 2013. The game, which sees players take on an alien threat with the help of characters who can use the Unite Morph power to combine heroes into powerful objects (see the trailer for a clearer idea of what that entails), will utilise the unique nature of the Wii U GamePad, and will feature motion controls, and a co-op mode for up to four players.
