The next generation of gaming is filled with seamless singe-player to multplayer games and Nintendo isn't going to leave the Wii U out of that party.
During the pre-E3 Nintendo Direct, Platinum Games' The Wonderful 101 had its multiplayer shown off. The game will allow up to five people, each person controlling a group of heroes, to come together to defeat a boss. There is a heavy pull for players to use the Wii U GamePad during the game. Drawing symbols on the GamePad will unite your group of heroes in various ways to defend against enemies.
The Wonderful 101 will be available in the United States September 15th and will be available in Europe August 23 2013.
