They might as well show their true colours and can the title. I agree with Bankai, surprisingly. Nintendo needs committed publishers to support the platform; not companies that drift with the wind.
This was the one Ubisoft title I had any interest in on Wii U; if they cannot keep their word they can keep their game.
I played a little game on the Ubisoft facebook page to see how far back I had to go to find a post where none of the recent comments have anything to do with the Rayman Legend disaster. I had to go back to January 9 and a post about "The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot" Every other post (of which there were 30) had negative comments about their decision. I should point out that the last comment on that post was dated Jan 19. I also went back and I couldn't find any comments of PS3 or 360 owners expressing disappointment over RL not being on those platforms. Not exactly sure what Ubisoft monitors for feedback they respond to, but it wasn't on their facebook page.
Usually when the horse is dead and no longer moving people will stop hitting it, but with Ubisoft not making any statement at all, the comments are still being posted. Any type of movement by Ubisoft at this point would just prove they still have life in them and will serve as a shot of 5-hour energy to the fans they had hoped would have wore themselves out over the weekend. Like I said before, that page is worthless to them right now. If they had an announcement about ANYTHING they would be over run. It will be interesting to see how long a company can stay relevant without being allowed to say anything.
I now hope Ubisoft cancels the Wii U version out of pure, unadulterated spite.
There is one thing I hate about the games community more than any other and that's gamers seem to think they have the right to hold a company to ransom and disrupt everyone who is well adjusted from enjoying their conversations with the company.
Diablo 3, Mass Effect 3, Dragon Age 2, Infamous 2 and now Rayman. It's not even a case of entitled gamers. It's a case of entitled children who didn't get the lollipop mummy bought in the supermarket RIGHT NOW.
So, might as well go the full monty and really piss off the Nintendo fans now. It's not like there's enough of them to matter. Port the game to iPad 4 instead and Ubisoft will rake in the cash.
I completely agree with you about game communities. I still want the game so I don't agree with them just cancelling it lol
People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

I couldn't agree more with you about the gaming community. The crying, butthurt and stupidity has reached a ridiculous level. There's always been some degree of entitlement but never this bad.

If mummy was shoving the lollipop in their faces, promising to buy it for them and making it seem like the most delicious lollipop on the face of the earth, I'd say the children have a right to be upset when she puts it back on the shelf and tells them they can have it in 7 months.
The videogame community is often a whiny one, but I'd say the outrage and disappointment is completely warranted here. This is coming from someone with no personal interest in the game whatsoever.

Frustration is warranted but there is nothing that can be done about the decision so people need to grow up and move on. March will be here soon with the arrival of Lego City, which looks better anyway.

Or perhaps the kid should learn some patience. It used to be a virtue, but seems kids these days don't need it. They throw a tantrum until they get what they want instead.

Good to know.
Ubisoft is lucky to have you here to preach the truth. You really ought to bill them for your services.

While everything you say is true, about needing patience and feeling self entitled, you do have to admit that Ubisoft handled the situation terribly. If they hd just announced this sometime in January instead of 3 weeks before the game's release date, I think some of this rage could have been avoided. Of course it didn;t help that they told us the Wii U version was completed, then announcing that we get an exclusive demo instead of the game.
They had already dug a grave, it just seemed like they were happy to bury themselves as well.

I have to agree here. While it is stupid how they handled it, its not like they arent bringing it out. Honestly games get delayed all the time for various reasons, but the video game community thinks that release dates are set in stone. I mean Duke Nukem Forever was delayed how many times and how long and no one seemed to throw a fit about it back in 96. Its not like there wont be other games to play in the mean time. But who needs patience when you can throw a tantrum as Waltz said. Honestly with all of you complaining if I was Ubisoft I would just cancel the damn thing.

Were either of you even going to buy Rayman Legends. Why can't you accept that we are all just shattered (especially in Europe) that there are no prominent new games out untill March and Rayman - for many of us a beacon of hope was cruelly snatched away from us at the last minute?

I was. I love Rayman Origins, and that surprised me since I don't even like platformers.
But I'm not going to die in the next six months unless something unlucky happens to me. So it's not like I'm missing out.

Yes, they handled it very poorly. I think two things happened here that Ubisoft should have predicted, and failed to:
1) The Wii U underperformed. I completely agree with the reasons that Ubisoft likely took the game multiplatform, however, Ubisoft should have assumed this would happen and not planned for the release of the game working on the assumption that they wouldn't have to take this multiplatform.
2) Ubisoft assumed that people on the internet weren't going to act like entitled morons. Very bad assumption to make.
I look forward to this game getting a Metacritic user review score of, like, 3/10 even as all the critics give it 10/10. Just because it proves my point with which side is the more obnoxious one.
@Bankai
You probably think I'm arguing just for the sake of argument now, but kids don't always get what they want by throwing a tantrum. If they did, we'd have Rayman Legends right now, with Ubisoft giving in and releasing it anyway. I don't really care when it gets released, or if it's multiplatform, because we're gonna get it 100%. That's all that matters IMO. People that truly want this game will get it no matter what.
