The Wonderful 101 puts players in control of a massive crowd of superheros. You can combine those superheros, Voltron-like, to create gigantic forms. These combination powers help in the fight against an invading force of 10-story-high aliens.

Platinum Games is the well-respected developer of character-action title Bayonetta, third-person shooter Vanquish, and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. In addition to The Wonderful 101, the studio is also working on Bayonetta 2 for the Wii U.
