The Wonderful 101 is very close to release now, and to build your excitement even more there’s a new trailer showing how the team’s super powers combine to make incredible robot-bashing attacks.

You can see in the trailer how by drawing different shapes on the Wii U Gamepad you can command the Wonderful 101 characters to use different abilities, like holding up a shield or striking out with a whip. It seems a much cooler way of controlling the game than just pushing buttons. You’ll be able to combine the abilities of different heroes to make special moves and take down the giant robots that threaten the city.
