Wonderful 101 Almost Had 'All-Star Nintendo Characters'

Once upon a time, Nintendo characters nearly starred in Platinum Games' The Wonderful 101, according to designer Hideki Kamiya.

"Originally I got an order from the president of Platinum Games, Tatsuya Minami, asking me to create a game idea that had an all-star cast of Nintendo characters plus characters from other games and that's how the project started," Kamiya told VideoGamer. "I thought how I could satisfy everyone and make everyone happy and I came up with the idea of why not having everyone displayed in the game at the same time. That's where the idea was born."

That plan changed following that project getting paused, and by the time Kamiya returned, the idea changed. What we ended up with is The Wonderful 101, the IGN review of which you can check out below. Look for more from Kamiya on IGN in the coming weeks. Have questions for him? Leave them in the comments below and we'll see about getting some answers.
