Wii U

**Doombear** · 2013-02-07 15:48

Yeah, Nintendo Land would likely see more some use from my daughter and I. I only have one motion+ controller anyway, so it couldn't be more than the two of us until I fix that. I need a black one anyway. I only have the addon white motion+. Gross. IT WON'T MATCH!

EDIT: Nice, the bundle is confirmed for Canada and US for the 17th for 389.99. I was worried that since it was originally 'leaked' via a Futureshop ad (and Best Buy Canada) it wouldn't hit the US. Seems to be quite a bit of whining and crying about the price, but it is coming from people that were already upset about the price.

As I was already planning on getting the thing anyway, and was interested in ZombiU (and it comes with a digital version of Nintendo Land) then I see no reason not to.

Ubisoft clarifies Rayman Legends delay

Ubisoft says the delay to the formerly exclusive Wii U version of Rayman Legends is solely because of the multiplatform release, and nothing to do with any development issues. Speaking to Digital Spy, the publisher explicitly stated the only reason for the new September release window is the additional platforms of Xbox 360 and PS3.

"We usually release all of our platforms simultaneously (aside from PC)," an Ubisoft rep told Digital Spy. "We've made special exception sometimes in the past but it's definitely just on a case by case basis and not our standard practice. I know it's not an elaborate, 'convincing' answer, but it's the simple truth."

In short, the game could have come out when it was originally intended to, which was February 26 in North America. Ubisoft simply chose not to do that. However, if you think Wii U owners are dismayed by the news, imagine how the developers behind the game feel.

That's the message imparted to fans by someone believed to be an Ubisoft employee on Spanish forum EOL. As translated by NeoGAF, the employee, who apparently has a history of posting about his work at Ubisoft on the forum, said it was hard to swallow working so hard over six months and barely seeing family and friends, all to ensure the game came out on time, only to find out about the delay. He asked fans not to turn their backs on the game or the team behind it because "some men in ties one day took a wrong choice." His full post reads:
"I completely understand you but you have to understand one thing. This is not a decision taken by the development team, this comes from really really high up, so please don't pick on the game. If you're pissed, imagine how we feel. Think on the situation, we've been making overtime with this game practically since May preparing E3, and then almost a demo per month (gamescom, Wii U presentation, shops, eShop, etc...) and at the same time trying to actually finish the game. We had a first delay because it was obvious we couldn't finish on time but we gave it all to be there on February. What face do you think we had when the week we had to close the game we're being told it's not going to be released? I couldn't believe it. For practical matters, you'll have to wait for some months for the game to be released and will most likely serve for more content to be added and do it better. For us, this means we've spent 6 months barely seeing our wives, kids, and friends for nothing because, after all, such haste wasn't needed. Believe it, it was a hell to swallow these news. Even then I'm firm in what I said back in the day, Rayman Legends is an excellent game and will still be, and the team that's making it doesn't deserve to have your back turned on them just because some men in ties one day took a wrong choice. This industry is really that shitty."

tl;dr it could have came out on time, but they delayed it anyway so it could launch on multiplatform at the same time. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF FF

That really sucks, from so many different angles. I simply don't understand it.

**TacoTaru** · 2013-02-08 13:26

Rayman Legends was a system seller for me, so this is much more annoying to find out than it simply wasn't ready. I don't really care that it went multi-console either, I just want to play the damn game.

Rayman legends was the ONLY game on Wii U's spring release. This kinda kills it for me. I have a Wii U but nothing to play on it. It's not even an exclusive anymore.

I guess Lego City Undercover and Monster Hunter 3 that come out in march don't count as spring?

**Doombear** · 2013-02-08 23:58

Monster Hunter is everything. EVERYTHING!

**Eleven19** · 2013-02-09 00:06

MH3U is the ... Ultimate Reason.

**Krandor** · 2013-02-09 00:54

Planning on using a portion of my tax return on the Wii U solely for the purpose of MH3U.

Hell, MH3 was the only reason I ever bought a Wii in the first place.

**Deader2818** · 2013-02-09 00:59

So, the reason why they can't release Rayman on the Wii U first, is because Microsoft will not allow a game to release on the 360 if its on another system first.

Nintendo’s first Pokemon game for Wii U will be a followup to the download-only Pokemon Rumble series called Pokemon Rumble U (Pokemon Scramble U in Japan).

The game will feature up to 100 Pokemon battling on-screen simultaneously, assemble all of the franchise’s 649 monsters, and offer up to four person multiplayer. It’s due out on the Wii U eShop this spring in Japan.
