Wonder-Size Cadet Demo

As the name suggests, this demo delivers Wonder-Size amount of content, including Platinum-level epic boss battles and a lot of in-game goodies! Enjoy the prologue and all of Operation 001, a total of about two hours of gameplay!

A lot of bonuses like in-game currency and a selection of support items are also available from the start of the demo, so that even beginners can set off on this dynamic adventure fully equipped.

weird

Spoiler

I never got around to playing Wonderful 101, maybe I'll try that demo

 

[Nocturnowl]

This is actually handy because I've held off on this since I wasn't sure if I'd prefer it on PS4 or Switch.

 

[DanarchyReigns]

Surprised it took so long to get a demo out like this. At least it's better than the Wii U demo.
No word on the DLC.

 

[Aniki]

That's dope. Will try it and see if it's something for me.

 

[Epitomage]

That's pretty cool! Wonder if they'll add other characters, too.

I really wish I enjoyed this game as much as I enjoy the style and concept, but something about my thumbs and this on Switch never meshed.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

lol leadership is her lowest stat

that's pretty accurate, she's horrible at playing well with others

It should be noted that she was already in the game. Even the original. She was the reward for getting all the achievements.
Here's she's an early unlock.
I should mention that Jeanne and Rodin are also playable.

Are ps4 demos playable on ps5?

I love this game so much but I hope they give you unite spring/guts right off the bat for the demo or there's going to be a lot of people turned off quickly.

The description box of the YouTube trailer says the following, so I think maybe so?

By entering the code "UMBRANGIFT" players can unlock Wonder-Bayonetta and the same set of support items that are available in the demo. Moreover, to celebrate the release of the demo we are also revealing the code for Vol.2. By entering the code "ANGELSLAYERS" players can unlock Wonder-Jeanne and Wonder-Rodin.

If anyone enjoyed the demo and wants a free steam code, just quote me.

Technically they just added a code feature to unlock the characters early in the full game, and apparently will release more later on per the post on their website. There's also an image of the screen teasing the other unlocks:

I had the game on Wii U, but never got around to finishing it really enjoyed it tho. Would gladly finish it on my PC.

 

[Jimnymebob]

So these characters are still available the normal way on this version, right?

 

[jon bones]

ohh this must run locked 60 on PS5, right?

Ah, good catch with that image on the Platinum website! I was speculating that the code system could be used for additional characters. Is there any presumption that any of these teasers for unlocks could be new characters?

I'm just guessing this but I'm assuming these are all for the characters already in the game but required either completing in game achievements or entering a special button combination and spending a bunch of in game currency to get. Some of the silhouettes look familiar, but I can't say for sure whose who in each pack.

 

[HardRojo]

And I have yet to receive my physical copy lol. Oh well...

 

[DanarchyReigns]

Click to shrink...

Yeah. The normal unlocking method (getting the achievements) is still possible. These codes are just a way to unlock them early.

 

[Dever]

Woah, an update to W101?? Lol I was actually just playing this and saw the Wonderful Code stuff, I thought I unlocked it, I didn't realise at all that there's been an actual update to the game.

Play it, everyone! Really fun and addictive action game. Here's a gameplay clip I just recorded a couple days ago.

Vol 6 looks like it unlocks Unite Big and the secret 100 size Unite Gun. (Try drawing a square iif you have all your Unite Gun users leveled up. If it turns green, Unite Up!)

What stuns me are all the journalists acting surprised that Bayonetta is in the game, even though she was there from the beginning.
Kind of shows how people just completely ignored this game, and not for good reasons.

To be fair, unlocking her legitimately is probably the single hardest thing to do in the game. The achievement combo needed for her is no joke.

But yes Bayonetta, Jeanne, and Rodin were in the Wii U version. As was the character who is totally not Viewtiful Joe. He's Poseman, of course. (Silvia is Wonder-Cheerleader, though.)

I wonder if they're adding new Wonderful Ones to the mix there or if it's just the old ones.

 

[Vonocourt]

That's a pretty hearty demo, even my very first playthough on the Wii U before I had a really grasp of mechanics, I was still in love with stuff like the Lambo boss fight.

 

[s y]

Damn, this isn't even on sale for bd/cm??

$40 is crazy when you can get Bayo and Vanquish for $20 right now

 

[danmaku]

It's 60 fps even on PS4. This was a WiiU game, after all. Only the Switch version has some performance problems.

 

[Darkmaigle]

Diplomacy has failed!

To be fair, she is an extremely obscure unlockable. Reviewers don't spend enough time with games to get all the bottlecaps required for her, and when they played the game there were no online guides available. I just used a guide to find the last heart pieces for example, and while I love the game, some of those locations were bull-fucking-shit lol.

Yeah, that's not that surprising, also in general a bunch of game press already bounce off Bayonetta and Vanquish, and W101 is even more down the "the more you put in, the more you get out of it" path than the typical Platinum stuff.

Fair... you need all the achievements to get her
And getting them all includes *breathes in* Beating the game on 101% Hard (which requires beating the game on Normal and Hard), beating all the Kahkoo-Regah (which goes across the harder three difficulties), beating all the Secret Missions that aren't Kahkoo-Regahs (across ALL FIVE difficulties, and that includes Operation 101 the game's version of Bloody Palace), getting a Platinum on every stage (thankfully you can do this on only one difficulty, and it's not Pure Platinum either), beating a Punch-Out boss without getting hit, mixing 100 items, finding all the hidden Hammer spots, and of course getting all the collectables.
I guess Platinum realizes that it's not worth keeping secret and just telling people "Have a code to unlock her"

 

[Jonathan Lanza]

This is an action game unlike anything you've ever played before so don't expect to be good at it from the getgo, there's a lot to learn but the game is very lenient with you so if you mess up a lot don't feel bad, it's expected.

It's a great game, my favourite Platinumgame by far and I hope this gets a few more people on board.

 

[Hadok]

how is the full game on Switch?no framerate pb?

Can confirm that this demo runs on ps5

also demo is locked to very easy mode for sone reason

 

[Dreavus]

I made the mistake (?) of playing with a guide to find all the wonderful ones on my latest play through, I got up to operation 003 before I took a break.

I gotta get back to this game after Age of Calamity.

 

[Hallucinations]

Thanks for the update OP. Will give this game a try.

Just found this out. I'm still having fun but I never play platinum's games on anything less than normal. Seems weird to limit it.

I'm currently replaying the game on the Switch years after I beat it on WiiU.
Well, it has obviously some flaws, but GOD, there is so much love, care and passion in this game.
It's always delivering, non stop action, fun dialogues, new gameplay ideas one after another (some are quite bad sadly but there is so much generosity).
It's a really unique game, if you love it it will be with passion.
Good to know that the sadly the game shines later, you miss a lot of key abilities in the beginning, like blocking and dodging (Yeah...)

Hmm you should only miss blocking and dodging in the prologue on the bus, where you don't really need them iirc.

You may be right, it must be possible to buy them just after the prologue.
I didn't Know for my first playthrough and I only bought them far longer after.

Anyway, game becomes way cooler when you have multiple attacks, and it takes a while...

 

[Igor]

It's the only plat game that l struggled to enjoy, there are many teeth grinding design decisions that make this a chore to play through imo. Still haven't finished it because I don't want to hate it completely after pushing through it.appreciate the codes since the game seems to be balanced around fully unlocked arsenal.

Any mention of performance updates on switch?

 

[NightShift]

This update dropped for me a couple days ago which was convenient because that's when I started playing it. Don't know how you unlock Wonder-Bayo though. Do I have to beat the game first?

Also HOLY FUCK is this game incredible. By far my favourite Kamiya game (not counting RE2) and I'm just in love with the saturday morning cartoon vibe. Definitely check out the demo if you haven't played it.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Kinda regret supporting the kickstarter. After Covid crashed everyone's currencies, it ended up costing me more than RRP after conversion, and I've really struggled to play the game since I'm not enjoying it much. Then with the recent BF sales it was down to like 15$ when I paid 70 to have it shipped to me just a few months ago...

Playing this made me notice a pattern though. Platinum is one of my favourite developers, but I just don't like anything that Kamiya directs for some reason, find the games quite annoying. Okami is the only game of his I've liked. Much prefer stuff like Vanquish, MGR, Astral Chain and Nier to Bayonetta or TW101. I think the constant action is just too much and results in trash characters and stories that give me little incentive to continue, even if I do enjoy the gameplay, because it's just non-stop.
