The Wonderful 101 playable demo hitting eShop very soon

Become a super hero...soon

As expected, the Wonderful 101 Direct tonight was a twenty minute presentation that detailed game mechanics, the main cast, replayability and the more on PlatinumGames’ latest Wii U exclusive, The Wonderful 101.

We’re lucky to be getting the game in Australia on Saturday, the 24th of August later on this month – a few weeks earlier than North America.

However, at the end of the Wonderful 101 Direct, Hideki Kamiya, the game’s director, announced that a demo will be coming to the Nintendo eShop later on tonight. Within the next thirty minutes, precisely. Unfortunately, we’re not entirely sure if this is going to be coming to either Japanese or American territories as of yet, as their direct broadcasts omitted the demo information.

In the slight chance you missed the presentation, Nintendo of America have a mirror of the broadcast available to watch at your leisure.

UPDATE: We can confirm the demo will be hitting the eShop at 1AM, or 11PM for those living on the west coast.

What did you guys think of The Wonderful 101 Direct? Did it convince you to pick the game up or are you still left skeptical? Let us know in the comments!
