Ancel is the man... Too bad Ubisoft constantly shits on him.
Agreed. I'm just not going to support a company that would make such a crap decision. I was really looking forward to this game but Ubisoft isn't getting any more of my money.
Maybe I'll buy it used...and then resell it to screw them out of another sale.
No touchscreen levels
Ubisoft is forgiven. I just assumed they were sitting on the game.

I'm now confused. Why do they deserve support? I might have missed something.considering all of ubi's decisions bar this one they deserve a lot of support, i was angry too but i've moved on
Such drama!
Demo will be available for PS360+Wii U with the Wii U demo getting an exclusive level, called Murfy's Dungeon (so...touchscreen level?).

There were 66 levels in Origins, just to get an idea. And not tiny little trial-and-error shit like Super Meat Boy, either. It was a pretty meaty platformer.
It's not really a question of "moving on" so much as "not forgetting."
I'm not still PISSED like I was when it was announced (which was made worse by that douche IGN writer hyping up "interesting" Wii U info that ended up being the delay announcement) but I'm also not going to support the company that made such a crap decision.
It's interesting. Many gamers FLIP OUT at the current state of the industry and want to see change but when they're faced with an issue like this, there are a lot of people who'd rather make fun of people for caring than to actually do something or speak up.
People complain about the industry with DLC and pay to win crazyness and a focus on the same genres (FPS, Uncharted) over and over again.
So punishing Ubisoft for developing a retail sold 2D HD platformer because Nintendo can't sell their new console for shit and Ubisoft is in the "making money" business and had to dodge a bargain bin bullet is just being projecting console fanboyism onto the proceedings. Or you only own a WiiU and that February was a real darn stinker for boredom, I guess then its okay!

Nope. That was a misleading line from VG247. Official press doesn't mention PS3 or 360.Demo will be available for PS360+Wii U with the Wii U demo getting an exclusive level, called Murfy's Dungeon (so...touchscreen level?).
I'm also not sure why having this game out on the Wii U in Feb would have been such a detriment.
Yes, no one would ever accuse Origins of having trial-and-error components.
Not sure how long you've been browsing GAF, or WiiU threads, but theres a prevailing sentiment towards WiiU games such as Mass Effect 3, NFS: Most Wanted, Batman: Arkham City AE, and so on, and its "not paying full price for late games from other consoles". Releasing in February and for the rest of the year while the WiiU rolls about on its back trying to get up, the game would head into bargain bins and desperation bundles and all the sorts of places you don't want your game to end up.
By September, when the "necessary to make devmoney back" PS3/360 editions released at a standard retail price or close to it, Videogame Purchaser will enter a store and balk at paying full price for a game shining a bright £5-£10 bargain bin price inside the WiiU bucket at the back of the store while the "new edition" is trying to rake in £30. Especially with "cut features" such as the touchscreen gimmicky rubbish.
You know why theyve done this, in their same position you'd most likely have done the same when its a business youre running to make money and not Fantasy Console War messageboard hopes and dreams. Just clearly for whatever reason its really cut to the core of you.
If you were excited for the game, and a new HD 2D platformer, you'd still be excited for it come late Summer. I know I still am. If you were never really that bothered by it but its special exclusivity badge, well, its always best to never take that stuff to heart!
I don't know why, but I smell day 1 DLC that got shot down by Nintendo... An the retaliation was not unexpected.
It was justified. The Wii U version was done.
Poor Wii U. I was set on that version. But, given the choice. No way I get the Wii U version over PC/PS3.
So the protesting was for what?
Rayman Legends? Oh wow. I'd forgotten this game existed. Quite the achievement Ubisoft considering this was my most antcipated Q1 release.
Double the length, add more characters, day one oculus rift support, weekly DLC updates for the next five years. I don't care. I wanted this game in February. You know. When it was finished.
I still want my Wii U exclusive April content, please.
Well until the game is released in February 2013 I reserve my right to remain sourawfully sour!
30 new levels?
The game must be fucking massive at this point :O

I presume you'll be boycotting Nintendo games from now on too seeing as they just delayed the release of a finished game for the same reason:
