We're big fans of Platinum Games here at Nintendo Life, even to the point that we praised its Wii U legacy just recently. While many may be enjoying its latest release — Bayonetta 2 — on Wii U, some cool unlockable details for The Wonderful 101 may have some going back to the bonkers-yet-brilliant action game released in 2013.

It's no secret that there are a host of fantastic 'Wonderful Ones' to collect in the game, some of which could be termed as 'Easter Eggs' or, at the very least, fun references to other games. While many are other characters from the game, it's always been possible to unlock Bayonetta, Rodin and Jeanne as a set of Wonderful Ones that can then be purchased through the in-game shop. The trouble is that the unlock requirements can be rather punishing, in keeping with Platinum's general policy of making gamers work for their rewards. You can see these characters below.

In typical Platinum style there's an obscure unlock code that it's now revealed, however, which means we can all get these characters by inputting commands at the right spot and then forking over two million of in-game currency to buy the set. For Bayonetta and chums, go to the area pictured below (start of operation 001) and enter the following code:

While pressing ZR: ↑ ↓ ↑ → ← XBYA

If you've done it right you should hear a notification sound, and you'll need to save up the in-game money, of course. You can see more details on unlocking other characters over on this NeoGaf thread.

 

Well, this is pretty cool.  Not sure how much I'll use them though, depends on how unique they are.  Of course, at the very least, I'll probably get them anyway because I love Platinum.
