Wonderful 101 has room for FIVE in multiplayer mode

Get your Wii controllers ready…

During this morning’s special E3 Nintendo Direct, Iwata announced that the multiplayer for Platinum Games’ The Wonderful 101 will include up to five people playing simultaneously. That’s one more than the usual four, for those of you with difficulty counting.

Also mentioned this morning was an in-game shop where players can purchase upgrade skills. The game releases August 23rd, and it’s looking to be a fast-paced and fun superhero romp.
