Vorkken is the villain to Wonder-Red in as Alastor
is to Viewtiful Joe. The character parallels don't stop there, but
there are definitely more things that show Viewtiful Joe's influence
in The Wonderful 101. They say that it's all "the little things
that count", and it's true. All the "little things"
from, the seemingly-trivial things that were taken for granted as
we experienced them in Viewtiful Joe, make a triumphant return in
The Wonderful 101. Where do we even start? The blazing Harrier fighter
jets, shining currency medals, giant robots, glowing lasers, deadly
octopus boss, overabundance of drills, and vibrant hit sparks are
all no coincidence. Even as a spiritual successor to the Viewtiful
Joe series, The Wonderful 101 is a tribute to it. You can tell its
development staff loved making it (which is precisely what is missing
from every other game these days).
