Sure, a new Pikmin and Mario title is nice, but there was a severe lack of big name announcements at E3. That’s what makes Project P-100 such a nice surprise.
Platinum Games is no stranger to Nintendo consoles, having developed both MadWorld back on the Wii. With Project P-100, they’re bringing a unique approach to the beat-em-up genre: instead of controlling one hero to wreck havoc, you’re controlling an entire group. A group that can form into various weapons, such as a fist, sword, or gun, to help bash their way to defeating an oncoming alien assault.
While we did get plenty of hands on time with other titles using the Wii U‘s game pad, no other Nintendo would feature such button mashing or quick reflexes. See, the pad itself is incredibly lightweight and extremely comfortable, despite how wide the thing looks. Thankfully, my massive hands didn’t break the thing in half, nor did the lightweight design hamper my experience, which proved to be surprisingly challenging.
My time with the game was brief, as the demo was limited to just a short seven minutes, but the gameplay is simple enough that I grasped things pretty quickly. Your hero, or group of heroes if you want to be exact, has a battery charge that powers their special attacks. This is filled up by performing basic attacks, meaning you’ll have to mix in both if you want to be successful. Combine that with the need to dodge oncoming attacks from stronger enemies and you’ll get an experience that seems similar to a Ninja Gaiden type title, only without the near impossible difficult the series is known for.
That’s no to say that Project P-100 is easy; don’t let its charming visual style fool you, as simply button mashing won’t guarantee success. You’ll need to be careful, otherwise you’ll end up like my first play through and meet defeat.
Project P-100‘s concept is simple, yet addictive. The game combines button mashing with score tracking for each boss, as well as mixing up the action with the occasional platforming puzzle, some of which take place on the Wii U’s game pad, to help bring something new to look forward to for the system’s launch later this year. Here’s to hoping we learn more about the title in the near future, as well as just what heroes named “Vending Machine Man” and “Toilet Bowl Man” are capable of.
Thanks for the post.
I have a few questions about the gameboys.
Do Gameboy color and gameboy advanced use the same games?
Which one plays pokemon red blue and green and stuff?
Can you purchase those games in game stores?
(if not, that’s cool, i’m buying online probably).
which should i get?
i want something classic and the original stuff?
but what’s your favourite?
My router is an “Actiontec” Router that has Quest service. How many Nintendo DS consoles can run on 1 router?
I want to get the Nintendo 3DS, but I don’t know if it will be economically wise to pre-order. I have the money to do it, and if I can’t get it after the initial number of these consoles are released, then I want to pre-order instead. What I need to know now is will there be a limited number of these consoles upon public release, or will there be enough to wait until then to buy it?
The real ones not the cheap chinese ones. Who ever posts an answer of which I dont know of will get the points.

I recently wanted to look up a game that i played during my childhood around 10-15 years ago, hence why I don’t have a lot of details to work with. The game I am looking for is an arcade (rpg?) side scrolling beat em up game. All i can recall is that the characters and setting are very Asian so i don’t think this is made in America. I remember a character in a Chinese character in blue with a beard who uses a sword and has a special that floods the screen with water. During the quest there are special elemental swords, the one you can find is early on and is a fire sword, that are very strong but requires many tries to pick up and each time you try the sword up it would damage you so. I know this isn’t a whole lot of information to work with, but if you have any idea on what it is i would greatly appreciate it. This was part of an important of my childhood so i am very determined to find this machine again.
It’s an arcade game system, a joy stick and 4 buttons i believe.
Mines gotta be Tekken 2.
Whats your fave?
Ha ha! Forgot about Street Fighter! “SONIC BOOM”!!
I got Splatterhouse for PS3 last week, and I love it. Are there any other games like this?
im proud to say that i love old classic games. my fav console of all time is super nintendo. i would give up my pet fish to get it. what is your fav classic system?
Does anybody here….remember Final Fight , circa late 90 early 91 ?
that game was a 2D side-scrolling platform beat-em-up Arcade game which had Sega Genesis, Famicom, Amiga, Atari ST ports.
What made that game so fun was its large sprites and excellent atmosphereic background gfx.
fighting on subways, streets, on the trains….awesome.
The other game I wanted to bring up was ‘King Of Fighters’ series.
the highlight of my highschool dayings was THAT game ^.
id save up dinner money and pocket money and obviously lie about going to the cinema with mates (extra cash for Fish ‘N Chips and arcade gaming lmfao)
and play that
King Of Fighters m/
Anyone remember PITFIGHTER ?
no ? okay – im sure you remember Altered Beast ?
ok then.
GOLDEN AXE ?
lol @ the dwarf with the axe : ))
notable mentions – Street Fighter 2 Black Belt edition XD
and of course – Mortal Kombat
