More footage from Project P-100

83 Comments

Project P-100 is a gorgeous-looking, super-quirky game for the Wii U that received barely any attention at E3 2012. Nintendo didn’t even mention it at their press conference. But it’s definitely worthy of your interest, and you can check out lots of gameplay footage from it after the break.

  • Peskiest

    Who is it that’s making this game?

    • STEVE

      Platinum Games is making it

    • Peskiest

      @STEVE, Thanks. For some reason I thought this was one of Nintendo’s new IPs. Not that it matters, but yet it does matter.

      …Anyways thanks.

    • Odeon X

      This game will be great for my fireplace!

      @Odeon X:

      Or lack thereof.

    • youdomutilate

      i made it

      Platinum Games is making this game, though if this game’s style seems familiar to you, it’s because Platinum Games is comprised of several people who worked with the former Clover Studios, who developed Viewtiful Joe. In fact, I’d roughtly say this gem is Viewtiful Joe-style-meets-Pikmin-3-mechanics.

    Did anyone else notice how the Wii U looks?

    • Luciano Fran

      it kinda looks different but its hard to tell

    • Captain Falcon

      They opened the front slot.

    • revolution5268

      low resolution.

  • Captain Falcon

    Nintendo didn’t mention the game, because it shares a few similarities with Pikmin. :(

    • http://sdfdg TheChumpanator

      The only similarities i see is on Pikmin you have Pikmin following you and this you have humans following you.

    • George Tirebiter

      I was willing to let it slide because I believed Spike were being jerks and getting an exclusivity deal on the reveal. Now knowing the truth, it’s really lame that this was an active decision by Nintendo and Spike were actually doing the Big N’s job for them.

      I might have understood that argument in 2010, but this year the fact it’s so similar to Pikmin is not a good excuse to not show it. Of course, there were also more recent and relevant 3rd-Party games they could have highlighted at the conference than Arkham City. Organization was the conference’s ultimate undoing.

    • Miketendo

      I hear the Pikmin similarities but truthfully this game play reminds me of that plus Little King’s Story which was sort of a sleeper on the Wii. The game was awesome! If you haven’t played it do so. Vita is getting a sequel but I don’t own one. Im holding out hope Nintendo may see a follow up… I digress, anyway this looks awesome!

    • sam765

      Yep it’s like Pikmin on steroid: bigger, bolder, faster, harder….

    • Mo

      I really hate when Nintendo never mentions GREAT games. This is a perfect example. It was up to all the gamers at E3 to point this game out. If it was up to Nintendo, they would have that game slide under the radar. Metal Arms: Glitch in the System, is also a good example. This was ignored by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo. This game to me, is one of the best 3rd person shooters of all time. I just wish the Big N would advertise something other than big titles.

  • suportedcofe

    There is way to many games I want for this system it’s unbelievable.

  • ARTICTHUNDER

    This console going to rock. I also heard that the Wii U CPU is similar to Watson with POWER7.

  • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc

    Seen a ad for metal battion for xbox 360 before this video, trying to make up for e3 eh?

    • stratisfire

      do you mean steal battalion? and we’ve know about that game for well over a year now.

    • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc.

      idk, It uses kinect with the controller though

    • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc.

      Yah it was steel battion, with that biased magazine xbox magizene, it is silmlar to nintendo power “we speck games” in both magazines and the QUOTES FROM THE CARACTERS

  • http://facebook.com/taylor.m.kerns Taylor

    Seems too cartoonish to attract “core” gamers, but way to complicated for “casuals”. Sort of like Pikmin.

    Looks interesting, though. I could get into this. Based on what I’ve seen so far, probably just a rental, but should be a good time nonetheless.

    • http://facebook.com/taylor.m.kerns Taylor

      Way *too complicated. I’m ashamed.

      Y u no have edit button?

    • zeta

      that would only be if your version of “core” gamers ownly cared about how something looked, basically for me any game with enough difficulty, complexity and/or competitiveness to take it seriously is “core”

    • Zoroark

      So what you’re saying is casual gamers are dumb?

    • zeta

      Agreed that this should have an edit button though,

      @Zoroark Apparently, it seems people have come to throw around those terms without really knowing who they refer too or even thinking about it.

    • Jat

      I’ve been waiting for a game as complicated as this for long :). oh and zoroark: yes casual gamers are dumb. but NOONE here is a casual gamer. for me, a casual gamer is someone that plays temple run(once in a while and doesnt get a score over 500,000), angry birds(i hate that fkin game), and other games like that.

    • http://facebook.com/taylor.m.kerns Taylor

      I used the quotation marks to distance myself from the terms, because I don’t care for them. By core, I meant the people who only play critically-acclaimed, photorealistic M-rated titles and by casual I meant the people who’ve been introduced to gaming via party games, fitness games, iPhones, etc, and don’t play much else. I wasn’t referring to anyone here as either of those things. I love Skyrim, and I love Wii Fit, so I don’t rightfully fit into either of the established camps, and I assume the same could be said of most of my fellow readers here.

      Sorry for the confusion.

    • MadCrain

      A Casual gamer can easily become a Core gamer if he/she loves the game, A Core title is what you define entertaining and fun, WoW looks like it was made for 12 year olds and yet more then 10 Million people play it till they drop, A Core game immerses you completely, Like Zelda, Uncharted, Halo, and other good titles, But sometimes I’m gonna play Animal Crossing for 5 days straight collecting things and avoiding the AAA titles completely, and really, what comes to down as being a Core title is how much it succeeds in engulfing you and making you want to play it as long as possible, honestly, Minecraft could be titled as HARDCORE because sometimes you play it and think of it when you’re in your bed or out of your home, I find it so retarded when people think that Hardcore means Blood and Gore, Who plays Manhunt for more then 12 hours straight? That games beyond fucked up, At the end a Cora game comes down to the player, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    • revolution5268

      they never said its after those type of gamers.

  • George Tirebiter

    I’m a big fan of the Viewtiful Joe games which Hideki Kayima worked on (director of the first and writer on the second), and I’m glad to see that be blended with a fine game like Pikmin. As far as I’m concerned, that’s an instant sale.

  • Ness

    Would’ve preferred a Bayonetta sequel or Metal Gear Rising to this horseshit. Why Nintendo had Platinum Games develop /this/ crap for them I’ll never fucking understand.

    smh

    • Captain Falcon

      Falcon…

    • Oblivion comet

      PUNCH!!!!!

    • uPadWatcher

      U mad Nessie baby?

    • Co-Wink-Key-Dink inc.

      IT WAS THERE DESCION yo

    • http://wiiublog.com pops waka waka

      I understand you wanted platinum games to make a Bad ass game like you mentioned. Instead of this Comicbook cartoon art style you wanted what they are known for.

    • Exclusive Content only

      I dislike this guy.

      He complains to much…..

    • Red

      Ness=Keepin it real

    • Mo

      PK………. STAAAARRRSTTTTTTORRRRRRMMM!!!

    • revolution5268

      ness why are u acting so childish?

  • adam

    I was not excited for this game until before, but now I really want to play this game.

    • Jat

      True.

  • uPadWatcher

    Project P-100 looks incredibly GREAT for a launch title for the Wii U. Platinum Games have done an outstanding job of combining Viewtiful Joe, Bayonetta, and Pikmin into one ass-kickin’ game!!!!!

    • http://wiiublog.com pops waka waka

      YEAH MAN

  • http://wiiublog.com pops waka waka

    Dang am I the only one who likes the art style but the only thing im scared of is buying this game and Pikmem and them both being practically the same game. It lookes Epic and cartoony like Wind Waker

    • http://sdfdg TheChumpanator

      How are they practically the same game?

    • http://wiiublog.com pops waka waka

      You have the main hero (Olimar) guiding these other heros (pikmen) to defeat aliens and save the world and complete the mission.(or collect bottle caps to save olimars space company like in pikmen 2). Like I said I do see differences that make the game unique and cool but they have the same layout….Satisfied?

    • Exclusive Content only

      The way you described both games makes me believe that they are NOTHING alike…

    • Red

      Bro he said the same layout Main Hero=Olimar, Helper Heros=Pikmen and in the end you save something important to the character, world or company . Its not hard. open minded?

    • http://sdfdg TheChumpanator

      Oh layout ok ,now that makes sense.

    • Jono

      It’s not at all the same, I realized that a few days ago. This one is an action game, Pikimin is a strategy one.

  • uriel

    this game has an odd look to it ….like if the graphics suck but dont…. like if they got a wii game and put it in HD …. still looks interesting but if pikmin 3 is at launch im getting that first /you never know i mean come on it wouldnt surprise me if pikmin 3 was pushed back ….that would be infuriating

  • http://wiiublog.com Pops_waka waka

    Lets go for NSAF for main hero!!!

    • Miketendo

      We need a grass roots movement alla “Operation Rainfall” to push for him in Smash Bros

  • the psvita is better

    this is gonna be one of the best launch titles

  • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

    nope. looks boring.

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      btw can anyone tell me if zombiu has online multiplayer? they dont have wii u games on their website yet for me to check.

    • Exclusive Content only

      Try to be more; open minded?

    • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

      my mind is far too advanced, in a way. but it would be awesome if zombi u had online multiplayer. i played zombies on black ops for about a year. i got all but 1 of the cheap dlc. online. the highest round i went was 45, but i quit becuz that took almost 9 hours. but a game made for zombies should be awesome online. at least i hope.

    • Tails the Foxhoound

      You are a conceited fuck. Though to answer your question, I believe they stated that it did have online multiplayer. I believe it was in a Nintendomination video. If memory serves the video was ~15 minutes long.

  • MadCrain

    Hey, check this out, Sonys Executive Rhode said that the PS vita is better than the Wii U. Please show some hate :)
    http://wiiudaily.com/2012/06/playstation-vita-is-better-than-wii-u-says-sony/

  • White Yoshi

    every time i see this game, the surroundings give me this nostalgic earthbound feel……u know what FUCK IT!!! just slap a few earthbound characters in this and you’ve got yourself a incredibly succesful game nintendo.

    (shutup i know platinum games makes this).

  • NonSpecificActionFigure

    This game looks really good so far. And yes, its being made by Platinum games and published by Nintendo.

      indeed it is.

  • Josh

    I know this has nothing to do with P-100 but some people started a campaign to bring Super Mario RPG 2 to the Wii U. Sounds great, right? Not Paper Mario, but a game with the original art style. Check this out http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lets-make-Mario-RPG-2-a-reality/381957421862797

    • Captain Falcon

      Petitions/campaigns don’t really work out on Facebook… /:

    • KING Z Is Ready For The Wii U

      Nope

  • Tails the Foxhoound

    It’s like Viewtiful Joe, meets Pikmin. Viewtiful Pikmin! I want this game even more now.

  • Buba
  • LittleMofreaky

    so excited for this game

  • Myst

    I wonder. Since this game is Nintendo-published, does that mean that there’s a chance of the characters being featured in the next Smash Bros.? And is this game the reason why Mr. Sakurai was sneaking into Platinum Games’ studios…?

    • http://MacroManJr.blogspot.com/ Brian L.

      You know what? Probably…

  • NWPlayer123

    Okami is one of the coolest games ever, plus it’s getting a PS3 HD remake :D

  • chupa-chup

    This guys playing p100 sucked really badly.

  • http://bob bob

    this game seems a lot like pikmin

    When I first saw this game, I knew it was awesome. After seeing this in some more action here, this is going to be an excellent example of what awesome refreshing gaming experiences the Wii U can do.

    This is something I can definitely see gamers on other platforms coming to Wii U for, something that delivers on the promise of Wii U’s amazing potential.

    And this is something that might even appeal to many of the more “casual” gamers who I think will see this in action in a store somewhere when Wii U launches and fall in love with its sheer original and style, wanting to learn how to use better the more traditional controls.

    This game is money, and it’s got mine.
