In the most recent Nintendo Direct announcement, The Wonderful 101 was shown off in a snazzy new trailer. It shows off all the characters that you’ll be able to play as and their special abilities.

In the trailer we get to see more of Wonder Red, Wonder Green, Wonder Blue and Wonder Pink, but three new Wonder heroes are introduced. There’s the Japanese ninja Wonder White, the buffoonish Russian Wonder Yellow, and cool-guy Wonder Black. We also get to glimpse one of the big bad guys – Prince Vorken – the leader of a gang of pirates.
