E3 2012: Project P-100 revealed for Wii U from Platinum Games

So why didn't Nintendo show this one off at the conference then?

Nintendo might have not shown off everything at its conference, it flat out didn’t even hint at this one. Project P-100 is a Platinum Games developed, Nintendo published game coming to the Wii U and according to Nintendo is a ‘Mass Hero Action’ title.

Platinum Games you might recall have developed such games in the past as Bayonetta and MadWorld however, this doesn’t look anything like though. Have a look at the trailer below.

Strength in Numbers

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.

FEATURES:

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.
PlatinumGames, known for hit titles like Bayonetta and MadWorld, has partnered with Nintendo to apply its unique talent to the development of one of the first games for Wii U.
