It'll be delayed again and released for next-gen consoles. You heard it here first.

Anyway, are there any remarkable Wii U third-party exclusives left?

Don't care about it going multiplat. The delay to the Wii U version? That bites. It's in all likelihood gone gold at this point. Guh.

edit: And delaying it to launch next to GTA V. Ubisoft is not only jerks with this move, but also massively stupid.

Maybe they just need time to replace the Murphy parts that can't be done on the PS3/360.

I have a feeling they're definitely retooling stuff like this. Hell, what if they're making more Rayman specific levels? How shitty is it that I can actually see the 360/ps3 having 'exclusive' rayman levels over the wii u one?

Didn't even think of that! Oh man, game suicide. The perfect time would have been somewhere in May. Nothing to battle against

Didn't the first flop on release?

I recall the first one having a terrible release date that got it lost in the shuffle. Just like this will, now.
 
Damn, that's bad news.

Was about the only game I was looking forward to on the WiiU.

And now I can get it on my PS3 as well.


Poor Wii U....

I bought a WiiU, specially for this game, they did a lot of promotion saying that it will be a launch window game.

Then the game go gold and they delay the game 7 months...

So, yeah, that marquee, exclusive title Nintendo paired with the Wii U retail demo kiosks...it's now slated to be available on the full gamut of platforms, and to add insult to injury, Ubisoft will probably label the 360 SKU of the game as the "lead" platform.

It's the principle of the matter, really.

The Wii U version is probably done...They could of released the Wii U version in February and released the PS3/360 versions in September.

So, just in the last few weeks, we've had confirmation Resident Evil: Revelations, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, Rayman Legends, and a claim that Castlevania: Mirror of Fate will all be going to other platforms.

What in the fuck is going on with Nintendo? That's four exclusive titles.
 
Competing against GTA isn't actually that bad... The demographics are completely different, and if you like both, you'd clearly get both.
 
This was always coming to other platforms and it was silly that they acted like it wasn't but delaying the Wii U version is insanity. I was ready for a release day 60 dollar purchase on this but taking it to September will mean saving money for next gen and holding out for Black Friday.

The Wii U version getting delayed to September for no fucking reason is bigger news than the game going multiplat IMO. Nintendo dun goofed.

haha holy shit

wii u is a fucking wasteland

this was going to be my second game. now what... pikmin? which we still don't even have a date for?

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
This is making me so interested about the third party partners news for Wii U Iwata teased during the last Direct.
 
welp. There goes any interest I had in the game. No way I'm going to be still interested in playing it in September. It'll be going right up against GTA, Ubisoft. Dumb move.

wait what?

rayman origins was a masterpiece, i'd wait 14 years and still want to play a sequel

I'll probably get it on Wii U still, since I have the system now, but I'm not happy about this. Don't really care that it's multiplat, and it's not the only Wii U game I bought the system for, but the delay has annoyed me.

WTF? I thought only the 360 and PS3 versions were coming out in September. The Wii U too now? But it was supposed to come out in a few weeks!!

Know what? Fuck you Ubisoft. Fuck you.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
As I mentioned before, if they release it now, they'll have to reveal the sales on how much WiiU version sold. When PS3/360 version releases, they'll have to reveal those numbers individually.

I believe Ubisoft is doing themselves a favor by releasing it all together so they can show one big number.

No investor wants to see "WiiU: 300,000; PS3: 300,000; 360: 400,000". Ubisoft rather say "Rayman: 1 million sales" instead.

Its not just that, its the TV advert or mag advert or ANY advert having to be run in February and then September to sell copies with just different logos at the bottom. Why piss twice when you can just piss once?

haha holy shit

wii u is a fucking wasteland

this was going to be my second game. now what... pikmin? which we still don't even have a date for?

Console is going the Gamecube route quicker than even I anticipated. Third parties are bailing out completely, and unless Nintendo has moneyhatted every developer in Japan, this really could just be the Nintendo box. Can't see another RE4 situation happening for them this time around for instance.
 
September will be loaded with stuff and I think most people will wait for next-gen stuff; I don't think this was a wise decision

That's most likely why it will sell the most, at least initially, on Wii U. After how Origins performed, I think this will hit 19.99 pretty fast as well. It's definitely a lot easier to wait for a game to drop in price when its released so close to so many other high profile titles. You're right. Does not seem like a wise decision.
 
Hahahahahaha...I thought it wasn't possible on other platforms...NeoGAF was telling me it's absolutely exclusive? Some people on here must feel embarrassed now.

5 player isn't going to happen on Xbox 360. it could happen on PS3 though.

most likely though, the PS3/360 versions will have sizable differences in their level design when compared to the Wii U version wherever Murfy was required.

The WiiU version has tobe done right? What a dick move delaying it until September. I was really looking forward to play it this month. Now I also have nothing to play on my WiiU until the end or March (Lego and MH3U), and that since launch!

It was supposed to be coming out over here on March 1st, so it must be finished, yeah. Wouldn't surprise me if it's gone gold.

I feel pretty dicked over here.

Oh this is bullshit. I think its very good that its multiplatform honestly, but why delay an already finished version? Bleh.

For Nintendo? Sure.

For a gamer? Nope.

Exactly. (except for the delay aspect of it, they should've released WiiU's version now and the other ones in September)
I wonder how they'll implement the asynchronous multiplayer in the other versions.
 
If anyone needs to feel better, they're releasing this in the same month as Grand Theft Auto V. They are going to get crushed. I don't know why they carry on insisting doing this with the Rayman titles, a Spring release date would have made infinitely more sense.

hm, that it is going multiplat is sad, but not so much of a problem. The delay on the other hand is fucking terrible, I have this on preorder since September ast year...

The WiiU version will have the superior 5 player multiplayerr anyway and I'm also expecting it to be the best version, but come on ubisoft, release the goddam game on WiiU this month please
