The Wonderful 101 is now just over a month away, but if you want to slap on a domino mask and start superheroing right now, you can. Platinum Games has released a demo on the Wii U eShop in Europe, and one is due in North America soon.

A Nintendo Direct presentation this morning focused exclusively on the Platinum game, and delivered some lengthy bits of gameplay footage--directly. You can check it out below while you wait for the download. Of course, if the first playthrough is merely a tutorial for the rest, a demo will be only the slightest of possible tastes.
