Vita version has Mario and Luigi costumes too?
You can test it in the demo. It isn't so bad.

Day 1 on wii U, hoping for it to turn up eventually on PS+ so I can have the vita version as well.
I certainly wasn't.
It stopped being fun when it started throwing in too many levels that rely on memorization and shitty shmup stages.

Long live great platformers!
My steam pre-order is ready.

Wii U version has Mario costume? That might be cool. You can pretend it's a Mario game with better controls.
I'll still get it on Vita anyway for the portable factor.

Will get on Wii U
Better controls? No. Better art, oh yes.

Just got Origins and started playing it. Will probably get this on Vita eventually. Maybe for Christmas. Between Origins and DKCR 3D I have a backlog of good platformers forming.
I actually really like the art/aesthetics of SMB:U a lot. The little scurry thing Mario does when you start moving drives me mental though.

Isn't the murfy bullshit optional? As in, you can play the whole single player campaign without touching it?

yeah me neither...
Considering this will be released on everything, its not an incentive to buy a WiiU for me. Will play it on PC.
Sorry WiiU
Nope. The very first level of the demo required you to use him to get past several sections.

Appropriate username?
I could see how not being able to play this on multiplayer would sour some people. I wouldn't have had as much fun with Origins as I did if I hadn't played it start to finish on local MP, and I plan to do the same with Legends.

What's the US release date?

Fuck. I remember reading a thread where it said 80% of the game is regular platforming and and 20% murfy sections are optional.
Sometime the unintentional comedy is more hilarious than the intentional stuff.
I'm pretty sure there are ways to "trigger" Murfy if you're playing single-player, but the demo did contain some traps/enemies that you could only get past by using Murfy.
I played on PC (with a 360 pad) and on there you have to press the Y button to make him do things. He kind of hovers over traps indicating the action he'll do if you press the Y button at that time.

But it does, I'm getting it on Vita - instead of on my WiiU - mainly to play co op with my stepson (both have Vitas).
The Vita has local coop/Murphy stages, but requires to Vitas, which is fine. He loves his PSV, so to get him interested in the game, I'm picking a platform he enjoys most....I also loved Rayman Origins, when it launched alongside Vita.

Oh ok. I was under the impression Vita only had the ghost mode thingy or whatever for multi.

Nope.
Vita has 2 player (requires 2 Vitas) co-op. it plays like the WiiU version.

Sooo pumped for this game. This will be my goty next to The Last of Us.
I think that was revised for the better.
At least I hope so, because the Murfy level was by far my least favorite part of the demo. And I was playing co-op with my brother too. Makes me wish that this wasn't Wii U focused (at first) so Murfy wouldn't have been forced in to begin with.

Looks good. Sucks I probably won't be able to find the time or money for it until early next year though. Too many other games coming out (especially GTAV) around and after this game's release for me to consider getting it right away. Still pretty disappointed by the delay, could have had plenty of time/money to enjoy it over the summer drought.

Debating between this and SR IV with my non-C:LOS money allocation. The plus for this is the beautiful art and it comes with Origins. Will wait for more reviews.
Nope. They just said, since the Wii U version got delayed, they had time to make some extra levels, but they're in all the versions. Costumes are the only exclusives.

I'm not sure about how 'superior' it is, but I'm also getting the Vita version. It's what I played Origins on and it was fantastic.
Put a lot of time into both WiiU and 360 versions, you'll have buckets of fun with both and they are visually equal (ran side by side on same screens/settings)
If you have a Wii U then get it on that for the best co-op multi player experience. Hands down, it is the best for multiplayer.
If you prefer to play it on your own, PS3/360/PC might be better as you have to control murphy and assist a computer controlled Rayman through Murfy levels in the Wii U version.
WiiU Multiplayer
360/PS3/PC Singleplayer
That said, 360/PS3/PC is fine in mutliplayer but much better on Wii U due to 5 players and the option to be Murfy which is fun.

+Seemingly more stages

Rayman controls better than Mario??? Have you taken large quantities of LSD or something?
Ah, cheers.

Never played a Rayman game before I picked up Origins on sale two weeks back. I'm on board for a PS4 port of Legends if (or rather, when) Ubi brings it over.
