even were that to happen it wouldnt sell which would be bad for the studio and worse for the chances on a 3rd game

Rayman Legends was never an exclusive.
Rayman Legends was never an exclusive.
It was originally slated to be.

Planet Hyllis (the planet in the original BG&E) is located in "System 4"
Oh my gaaaawd
Oh Ubisoft is absolutely on board with it, teasing:
"Michel Ancel has an Instagram account and we recommend that you pay close attention to it..."

But why a prequel after that BG&E cliffhanger at the end??
I guess BG&E2 is back on track then...
Imagine if it's just to say "look at what you'll lose if Vivendi buys Ubisoft!" Lol
Pretty sure that's not the case. It was originally going to be a timed exclusive. If it were to be a full exclusive, it wouldn't have released on other platforms.
Time exclusive, wasn't it?

That's right, but it was supposed to be at one point, then Ubisoft regained their senses.
And if Nintendo does fund it then it'll die on its ass.
No other platforms were mentioned initially, then the second trailer announced exclusivity. Then came the multiplatform delay. I agree that Ubisoft likely always planned for ports down the line, but that's not what was announced.
If it was originally going to be an exclusive, that was a choice made internally at Ubisoft.
The entire NX rumor for BG&E2 stems from the idea that Nintendo is helping with funding. If that's the case, it would be a full-on exclusive.
Not saying I actually believe that, but that's the rumor people are going by.
It would actually be far less of a risk for Ubisoft.

It was a finished Wii U exclusive that was delayed 6-7 months to be ported to other consoles. They even gave us Rayman Challenges App as an apology...
As I understood the Ubi Montpellier guys at Gamescom, it was planned and meant to be a full exclusive, but without any agreements with Nintendo over it. It was just how they conceived the game. Wii U's lack of success changed that though. In the end it was not even timed exclusive.
An exclusive where Nintendo finances most of the development is one that is potentially very helpful for the relations between said publisher and Nintendo and could yield
(1) follow-up products of a similar kind (which are not all too common games at the moment)
(2) increased support by said publisher for NX
Also it could yield a game that is perfectly fit to the system it is made for. Considering Ancel's team made Rayman Raving Rabbids at launch for Wii and Rayman Legends close to launch for Wii U, his team in particular is one that seems a good fit for making creative use of whatever makes NX special. Not to mention that Nintendo would signal a step outside its Japanese bubble wrt significant cooperations.
Therefore for someone interested in NX, an exclusiveness agreement like that could be a good thing as well.
I think, outside of the Capcom 5 Nintendo has never made an exclusiveness agreement that did not entail exclusiveness forever.
Never claimed it wasn't initially a timed exclusive.
Iwata never made one. Kimishima seems more like a standard business minded CEO.
A prequel to Beyond Good and Evil? So they scrapped the sequel and things they were planning?
It would be nice if he finished WILD first. That game has gone MIA.
That's right, but it was supposed to be at one point, then Ubisoft regained their senses.
This and The Last Guardian...
To think that I'm almost at that point in my life where I'll get to play them both.
Maybe it's a prequel and sequel?
It'd be nice if he finished the game his publisher announced in 2008 first.
People are still sticking to the "NX exclusive" thing, eh?
NX hasn't been revealed yet and there are no signs of Nintendo budging.
There's no reason why the game shouldn't be releasing on XB1/PS4/PC. Ubisoft can't be THAT risk averse.
I'll be genuinely surprised if this is a Bayonetta 2 situation.
Can someone explain how this remotely links to NX?
Did they? They delayed a complete game six months so they could launch other versions simultaneously, only for Origins to due no business on 360/PS3.
Probably would have done better on Wii U if it just launched in February 2013 like it was scheduled to and then released the other version(s) later, ala Resident Evil 4.
That's baby Peyj and Jade's dad

Would you rather anger the Wii U or 360, PS3 and PC crowd? They made the right decision. No one likes to play second fiddle.
Square made that exact mistake with Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Why do people keep saying the game will bomb on NX, when you don't know what the NX is and the first BG&E bombed when it came out.
Could just be part of the lore, flashbacks or some backstory.
That being said, the more I think about it, the more I believe that won't be the case. Doesn't seem like something Nintendo would want teased before the NX unveiling.
But the idea of Beyond Good & Evil 2 actually coming out.... yes pls
