@Zombie_Barioth So you're saying that you think Sexy Poker is a classic, too?

@LordLzGlad The difference is that the PSN actually contains a lot of good games while WiiWare only has a few (and I know what I'm talking about).

WiiWare has a few hidden gems, but unfortunately is covered by a mountain of cr*p.

I might actually get the Wii U version of Watch_Dogs simply because the GamePad and extra power in said console should make this the second best version. But I actually have to buy a Wii U first...

@SteveW The ''casual market'' has flocked to mobile devices (iOS and Android), so that's an invalid point.

The PS4 will eventually have an amazing library like the PS3 does now, but it looks like it might take awhile. I'm definitely going to get a PS4 eventually, but I need to buy a Wii U first.

Awesome, I hope these come to the West ASAP since I've never played them before!

Possibly a pretty big loss for the Wii U, because the concept of this game looks amazing.

I love you Sony. Show Nintendo who's boss!

@TysonOfTime And for good reasons.

@theperson Because I obviously want to buy the PSN version.

I wonder when this will be released on PSN.

Still no Vita love, Rovio? Angry Birds would be perfect for the Vita, just saying.

Looks interesting, but I want to try a demo first.

Dig Dug and the Powerful Shippuden demo are the only new downloads that have my interest.

Wow, this looks amazing. I'm definitely going to buy this!

Nice to see Luigi getting some more love. I still need to buy NSMBU and a Wii U first.

Hopefully, this game will have more content than Mario Tennis Open.

I love this game, but I already own the Wii version and this looks like a straight port...so I'll probably pass.

Looks I better try the demo before I buy it, and wait until it hits the bargain bin if I actually do decide to buy it.

2013 just got real.

You know, I might actually buy this instead of the PS3 version. The enhancements that is in this port and the simple fact that the Wii U version likely won't have an online pass (which means I can buy the game used if I want to) makes this one one of the few times that the Wii U version might actually be a better purchase.

I still need to get a Wii U first...

Today is a very sad day indeed.

It sounds like a great game...at bargain bin price.

This is one of the main reasons that I'm very iffy about buying a Wii U until Nintendo removes the limitation of your account being tied to one system. Nintendo should be able to do this with ease. After all, Sony and Microsoft did this eons ago.

Nintendo also needs to make the 3DS account based without tying it to a piece of hardware and remove the limit on system transfers (or at least increase it to a much higher number than five for God's sake).

Your Nintendo account should not be tied to any piece of hardware, and both your Wii U and 3DS should be connected to it. If either of those devices ceases to function or get stolen, then you'll have to jump through a lot more hoops than what you would have to do if a non-Nintendo device bites the dust.

There's no excuse for this, no matter what Nintendo says. I know that they like to do things their way, but it's always not the right way.

And to me, $200 is still a poor apology. It only covers half of what that guy purchased and it's not even in the same funds format as the VC and WiiWare games that he bought. Don't tell me the guy was stupid and got what he deserved either. He shouldn't have to go out of his way to call Nintendo and send his console in because of a faulty system if he doesn't want to. Consumers should have options.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Wii U is currently getting such horrible third party support too. Nintendo has been attempting to stay ''old-fashioned'' since the days of the N64, and it harmed them more than anything else.

But the thing that baffles me the most is that people actually voted ''yes''. What? Do you want Nintendo to remain backwards and not make any progress?

i still think that people are overreacting about this. I'm going to get the Wii U or PS3 version depending on if I have a Wii U by that time and what kind of ''exclusive content'' is in each version.

Not releasing the DLC pretty much seals the deal for me. I guess I'll look into the PS3 version instead.

@Shanksta If you're so limited gaming-wise on the Wii U that you played a demo multiple times, then you seriously need to buy a PS3 if you're craving for more games.

...And sadly not even this will make those Nintendo fans calm down.

I would actually get this if I had enough money...

Thank God it didn't happen! Microsoft would probably have sucked the soul out of Sega like they did to Rare.

So currently forty-eight percent of you guys intend to boycott Rayman Legends over something that shouldn't even be a big deal in the first place? For the sake of all that's holy, get your heads out of the sand.

Woah, everyone is showing Ubisoft some awesome brotherly love today!

@ToxieDogg Yeah, I agree that launching it around GTAV is not a hot idea, but I still think they will get more sales from doing this.

@ToxieDogg Nope, Nintendo gamers are shooting themselves in the foot by refusing to buy Rayman Legends due to overreacting. Both Ubisoft and gamers who don't own a Wii U will benefit from this though.

@moomooo And people are still overreacting. Regardless if the game is done or not, Ubisoft delaying it makes perfect sense from a business perspective. It allows Ubisoft to market the game and build up hype for it. You may disagree, but better marketing equals better sales. Like I said, it's all about the money in the end.

@DePapier Then those people should wait on buying a Wii U. Buying a Wii U just for one game that's not even released yet is usually not a good idea. I'm thinking about buying a Wii U, but that's because they are SEVERAL games on the console that I actually want.

What about the 3DS and Vita? Those went through dry spells, didn't they? Gaming systems are going to usually have ''dry spells'' in their early years.

People act like this is something new.

I KNOW that people are overreacting because of the delay in addition to (for some) losing it's ''exclusivity'', and I can easily say they are overreacting.

People who bought a console early should expect to be disappointed in some areas, which is why I have not bought a Wii U yet. People who are complaining about a Wii U drought ought to look at the games coming out this spring/summer and be content, because this what you get when you own a console in it's first year.

I feel sorry for TBD having to deal with all of this crap at the moment.

Also, people like me don't have a Wii U yet and may not buy one anytime soon (or not at all). For people like me this is actually great news, especially since I still might not have a Wii U by the time Rayman Legends is released.

@The_Fox I know, right? Reading these comments make me laugh my a** off.

Ubisoft never said that this game would be an exclusive for the Wii U in the first place. You want to know why they are probably delaying the Wii U version? Either because they wanted to spend extra development time on the Wii U version or because they want to market the game properly in order to increase sales of all versions of the game.

Also, the simple fact that the Wii U isn't exactly selling like hotcakes is probably one of the reasons why Ubisoft did this. It's all about the money, because Ubisoft releasing this on multiple platforms will increase sales (although releasing it in the same month as Grand Theft Auto V might not be such a hot idea), regardless if you agree with me or not.

This makes perfect sense from a business perspective. You can whine and moan about it all day long, but it's not going to change a d*mn thing.

Oh, and you can refuse to buy the Wii U version, but you know what will happen? The PS3 and 360 versions will sell better than the Wii U version because a bunch of Nintendo fans overreacted about a game not even promised to be an exclusive in the first place being ported to other platforms refused to buy the game at all.

Ubisoft sees the sales numbers, shake their heads, and starts supporting the Wii U even less. In the end, Ubisoft benefits while Nintendo-only gamers shoot themselves in the foot for a silly reason and miss out on a probably awesome game.

Honestly, tell me how in the world does that make any sense?

280 comments on a game being ported to two other platforms...holy crap.

You people need to realize that Ubisoft is doing this for the sake of money, and money is pretty much the most important factor in the gaming industry.

You still can get the game on Wii U when it comes out, so I don't see the problem here. As for me, I'll likely buy the PS3 version because of trophies.

It sounds like one of those games I need to play a demo of before buying.

I can't wait for ''Gen 4''.

Nintendo's success will be based on a single important factor, which are games.

@seronja Spector working at Rare? LOL, no.

Nice review, and I can't wait to get my hands on this!

I'm curious on how this version will turn out. I love the PS3 version, but I wouldn't mind also having a portable version.
