Legend of Kay Anniversary Set for Budget Retail Release on Wii U This Summer

Looks pretty good actually at that price.

I wonder how hard it's gonna be to find at retail.

I do intend to get it either way. It looks quite interesting.

Never played this one! Would I like it if I'm big into 3D platformers of old or is it even a good game to begin with?

More 3rd party support!!!!!

At $25, and given the lack of 3rd party support, I'm certainly considering it. The only problem here in the US is that it launches on Splatoon Day, a holiday I plan to observe for several months..

Surely this is a game I would have liked back when it was originally released, but I totally missed to notice it.
At that price there are no excuses, I'll surely check it out

What a deal! So....what's with the $10 difference between platforms?
@Hervine The PS2 port was very good from the IGN review I'm hearing. It's only plagued by annoying voices and camera.

If the version is decent, I will definitely get it. Specially for that cheap.

Finally, some news. I pre-ordered this for £18. Not expecting a game-changer, just something solid and pleasing.

Funny how X1 isn't mentioned, ha ha.

@Captain_Toad I imagine the difference in price has to do with the Blu-ray Disc Association and their royalty fees. Sony and Microsoft both pay royalties on each console and on each disc to the BDA that Nintendo does not have to pay because their discs are a proprietary format. I don't know if that accounts for the entire price difference, but it's definitely a factor.

I have this on the list ill likely get it when I pick up Splatoon since I'll grab a few other games I've got on my list.

People actually acknowledge this games existence?! I own it on PS2 and love it, aside from the bad voice acting and even worse ending (I won't spoil it) but I've never met anyone who even knows it exists! I'll definitely pick this up!

@EJzelda
I don't think they are hurting for budget "two gens ago" ports.

@RoomB31 Maybe not, but I am.

@RoomB31 Oh wait, you thought I was talking about the actual original Xbox? Or just being sarcastic?

I have it preordered for Wii U, but with the news that it's coming out for PC I think I'm probably going to cancel my Wii U preorder and go with that version instead.

Already pre-ordered it too, along with Splatoon. I'm sure I'll have a good time with it.

No 3ds
Or new 3ds support
NO Buy for me
I may find it for my ps2

I'm considering it. I'll wait for reviews first though.

I really dont remember this on PS2 which is strange as it looks like s game I would have picked up day 1 back then. I'll read some reviews before picking it up but it looks good.

Warrior cats for a budget price? Sounds like a deal to me.

@andrew20 It was on DS so you could just play that version on your 3DS/New 3DS but why should they be obligated to put the remake on 3DS/New 3DS anyway? Maybe they simply feel it won't look or run as nicely on 3DS/New 3DS.

Unless you haven't got any of the listed platforms (or a PC/Mac that's capable of running semi-decent games), I see absolutely no reason to get the PS2 version instead of this remake, to be honest. Yes, the PS2 version's cheaper but it lacks the quality and finish the remake will no doubt have.

Never played it and I had never heard of it until recently, but it sounds like a deal to me.

Meh. I'll wait until it's $10 or under in a PSN sale. Too many great games coming out this year to worry about remasters of obscure PS2 games I've never even heard of.

Sounds good. I look forward to playing it this summer.

I might get this one, I remember wanting to try it out but I didn't have a PS2 of my own so I never got to it.

whats the difference with the DS version remake(besides its graphics and now at 60fps).
i really like get this there are many platforms to choose from, Xbox 360, PC, DS and Wii U, (even tho the DS version is already out)

@Aozz101x I don't think the DS version's 60 fps and I seem to remember reading that it's severely cut down from the PS2 version.

I'm only interested in this because of 3D platforming, but otherwise I'm just like wtf is this and why did someone dig it out of the vault for an anniversary edition? Who asked for that? Who even wanted it? Only the devs that's who.

@Dankykong That's a bad thing? This way, at least it'll get some recognition instead of being perpetually stuck in obscurity as it was until now. I'd, personally, welcome more remakes of forgotten gems like this such as Scaler and Vexx.

@Dankykong the fact that barely anyone knows about this game is one of the reasons this had to be made

If it was 3ds release I would be picking up day 1. It would look awesome. In the beginning of the 3ds lifespan there was an article about games from ps2 being ported for 3ds. A Tales game was brought out and looked and played good. Things were going to be cool indeed. Then no more conversions from ps2 **sad face** I would love to see more and with the new 3ds you would think with the higher performance hardware it would be much better. I hope it happens but nobody seems interested in doing it.

@kamifox1 oh no i was talking about wii u version on that part sorry about that,

@Windy I guess because they have PS3, PS4 and Vita for that. They probably assume most Sony gamers will only buy it on, funnily enough, Sony hardware, unfortunately.

@Aozz101x Ohhh, ok. Fair enough.

I might get this, might.

Being that the wii u 3rd party retail support is all crickets I'll grab it for $20. I like a good platformer! Keep it going Nordic!

@bluedogrulez exactly. Unless it is just terrible, which doesn't appear to be the case, I will get it to support a third party developer.

It certanly looks like a ps2 game, its kinda got a a little sly cooper thing mixed with the animal bits from the jak and daxter series

I was planning on picking up Legend of Kay Anniversary for Wii U anyway, but hearing that it will have a cheaper price pleases me, though the UK price has yet to be listed. Given it's timing, I may not get around to playing it for a while as I may still be busy with Splatoon... or Hastune Miku: Project Mirai DX... or Fossil Fighters Frontier... or the many games I've got as of late but still haven't played yet.

My backlog is starting to become rather overwhelming. In any case, I look forward to playing this game.

@ricklongo :

Exactly. Most retailers here wont stock this game, so it must be bought online.

I would feel a lot better if I knew anything about this game, I've had a PS2 since it's launch and I've never once seen this game. A budget release is brilliant though as I wont mind dropping a little money to try it out.

I'm positive but will wait for the review.

Contemplating if I should get it or not. I probably will since they probably will have limited copies of this game later on.

Huh, good deal! Ill grab it

Looks fun. I enjoy the all animal world(like Star Fox or Sly Cooper). At that price I'll probably buy.

How come they didn't say when it will be released? It was due to be released in May but changed that date to June 30 a few weeks back. Has it been delayed again since no date is said by them here?

I'll totally pick this up for the WiiU of course. Hopefully WiiU owners support this port so we get more from this franchise on the WiiU in the future.

Is there a difference in the versions of why PS4 has a higher price point? Will definitely pick it up, liked playing it on PS2...copy of ratchet and clank meets thundercats, but was a fun little title. I kind of hope they give the Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, Billy Hatcher And The Giant Egg, Glover, Sphinx And The Cursed Mummy, Beyond Good And Evil and some others a new chance. Would be nice if they gave some classics that should have been given more praise, another chance, from the Gamecube and PS2 era. Other than that, I'll wait for a great sequel to Conker's Bad Fur Day to come out...hopefully even an N64 proper remake (still didn't get why they cut so much from it on the X-box).

I'd like to have this on the Vita (going along with Ratchet and Clank, Sly, and Jak and Daxter), but getting it on the U will be alright.

Game looks promising and for that price I think I will pick it up fairly early.

_{Please let's not harass others.-Morpheel}

@Windy Quit dreamin 3ds cant even get snes or game boy advance games the 3ds cant handle ps2 games u need 2 buy a ps vita

@antipop621 I preordered it as well. Looks like the kind of game I can get into.

Downloading it now for £4.99. I wouldn't have considered it at £19.99.
