Posted this in a couple of threads but fuck it it's likely and so new thread time.

Can we clear up whether the Origins levels are exclusive to Wii U or not?

Nintendo's PR singles out the Wii U version:

• Rayman Legends from Ubisoft: Even Rayman likes to cosplay! The Wii U version of the game will include a special bonus: Players will be able to unlock a Mario costume for Rayman and a Luigi costume for Globox. Players on the Wii U version will also have access to select fan-favorite stages from the previously released Rayman Origins game. Rayman Legends launches Sept. 3.

And Prima Games' website says it is in their article about it (and this is Prima who makes the guides for games, surely the guide for this game as well:

In addition, Ubisoft will add 40 fan-favorite levels from Rayman Origins into the game, an exclusive to the Wii U version. Creator Michel Ancel and his team modified these levels to make use of Legends' new lighting system, as well as the Wii U's touchscreen controls. The levels will be part of an unlockable chapter in the game, titled Back To Origins.

Confusing as I would've thought all versions would have them, it actually makes the most sense to be Wii U exclusive as it's the only platform to not have Origins, AND Legends began as an Origins port IIRC.

They're not exclusive, you can play them on 360

 

[Fireblend]

I already preordered the PC version and don't really mind, already 100%'d Rayman Origins.

Maybe they'll be provided as DLC sometime later.

 

[RurouniZel]

If true will buy on Wii U. Need clarification however.

 

[Zomba13]

I don't think so. The level select was shown in a video of the 360 version on the videogamer youtube channel. Had the Origin levels (though they didn't select any).

 

[Pajamas]

Sorry for the delay, here's some old shit.

 

[tripskylark]

I remember seeing a gameplay video on IGN of Ancel playing through the origins levels on 360...hmmm.

 

[Wario64]

This is not news. And no where does it say exclusive.

 

[Frumix]

Why can't I just play Origins again?

 

[VanWinkle]

Not exclusive.

 

[Vico]

I don't think so. The level select was shown in a video of the 360 version on the videogamer youtube channel. Had the Origin levels (though they didn't select any).

Cool.

But now that we mention this, are they playable online, now?

Origins doesn't have 4 player online co-op or remastered designs

EDIT: Oh. Apparently Online co-op got taken out... http://www.escapistmagazine.com/art...-Legends-Doesnt-Have-Online-Play-For-A-Reason

:C

Who's stopping you? This is just an added bonus, plus they're remastered so it should look a bit different, graphically at least

.

I guess Prima got it wrong

 

[fantomena]

Getting the superior PSVita version anyway. Origins was

on Vita.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Not exclusive.

I guess that clears it up if they say so? Why the confusion then? Mistakes I guess.

Nintendo's PR singles out the Wii U version

No company PR will say it will also come to its competitors.

 

[Currygan]

at this point it's hard to believe anything that involves "exclusive" and "Rayman legends"

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

Origins doesn't have 4 player online co-op or remastered designs

Rayman Legends has 4 player online co-op?

Spoiler

It doesn't

 

[Hero of Legend]

No company PR will say it will also come to its competitors.

They could've left out the Wii U part and just say players can experience the levels.

Uh, Legends doesn't have 4 player online co-op either, right?
