People still whining about this? Get over it, if you bought a console selling abysmally its not 3rd parties place to placate you. Ubisoft did nothing wrong, and i look forward to the new levels
But it wasn't planned...

How much crunch time went into finishing Kawashima in time for this European release? It's sad really, but not the same situation. After all it did get released on time in Japan.

Yeah, yeah. Blatant damage control. I love Ancel and his team, but Ubisoft can continue to kiss my ass.

I think this is kind of a blessing in some way.
I mean, the Wii U version would've come out on February but we could almost guarantee Ubisoft would've released it with extra content several months later.
I guess at least we get the same game on all platforms on the same time now. >_>

I will be boycotting this. No one makes me wait extra months to play my video games, and no one puts the games I wanted to myself on other platforms. I don't care if I put innocent, hard-working developers out of work - Ubisoft must hear my roaring voice! Even if they misinterpret it as me not wanting niche games anymore, at least I'll feel like I matter!

Let's ignore good games!
Quit being a diva and support good games.
And to the one who said this will "ruin" the WiiU version, get a grip.
I don't care what happened and how much it sucks to see this delayed, we get more content in the end.

All this is telling me is that we could have had Legends a month ago, and Legends 2 a year from now. Instead we'll be getting Legends 1.5 in six months.
There's a lot of "Ubisoft has a right to your money, how dare you deny it to them" in this thread. Sorry boys, I'm delaying my purchase "so as to optimize the best possible purchase timing" for my wallet. There are too many other games that will be better than this one releasing in the Fall. I'll buy it when it goes on sale in the eShop next year.

I'll be picking up Rayman Legends, on the Wii U, as I intended to do in last February.
It's shitty on Ubisoft to delay the game, but the development team doesn't deserve to be snubbed by people because of upper management's poor choices. If you were going to buy this game, I don't see a reason why you wouldn't want to now considering it still looks fantastic and has additional content.

It's probably this. Whether or not they're included in the WiiU version remains to be seen, as well as what's happening to the Murphy levels. I hope they remain as-is, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were reworked or cut altogether to keep the versions identical.

Was gonna get this regardless, but now I'm stoked.
The only people you and other Nintendo fans who say stuff like this screw over are yourselves. The system already has the perception of not being open to non-Nintendo games, which is why it got delayed in the first place, so what do you think you accomplish if your boycott is successful in getting noticed?

Well at least they're using the extra time to improve the game. It still should of been out in February though.

Thats a huge amount of content. Unless the game was very short to begin with it must be much longer than origins. I'm glad for the delay.

Thirty levels is...quite a lot.
There are problems in the industry worth complaining about and taking a stand over; a game you wanted getting delayed due to poor sales projections is not one of them. All you're doing is making Ubisoft's lack of belief in Nintendo console owners look justified.

I think people would have to care about Brain Training first..
The fact that so much extra content has been added to the game and that Ubi are pretty much the Wii U's third party saviour now, will hopefully translate to bitter Wii U owners realising that they should be supporting Ubi's Wii U output rather than boycotting it to their detriment.
