the story of the wii u.
two years later and they're in a worse position than a decade ago.
Here is a video of some of the reactions on Miiverse courtesy of NiNTENDOMiNATi0N.

How is that even possible...
So much entertainment in the Uplay Miiverse community.
You think they might have pushed harder for a timed release.
I shit you not, I seriously thought about nipping out to buy a Wii-U just to read the Miiverse meltdowns. There are some in stock about 100 feet from my house. I'd have laughed tonight and then regretted it in the morning so cooler heads prevailed, fortunately.
Thanks Ubi! You just saved me some money.
I was gonna pick this up on release, but now I'll just wait till I can grab it for €12 like I did with the first one.
By the time September comes around I'll be spending my time and money on other things that are more important to me.

the only thing i can think of is that it really, truly was supposed to be made specifically for the wii u, and now it's being retooled as a more traditional rayman game (no need for the gamepad).

Wii U Exclusives I give a shit about at this point: 1
At least NSMBU can't go multiplat and be delayed at this point
Also, I hope there's a PC release of RL now.

I was so looking forward to this in a couple weeks. The only way they could make up for this is with new content for the Wii U version. How about some more of those music levels like in the demo? That was awesome
But whatever, still getting it for the Wii U since the other consoles are going out the window when the new ones arrive. Just hope I have some money for the release, if not I'll just wait for it to be cheaper around Christmas. I also wonder what other big releases are coming in September, could be a very bad month for them

this was a crap move by Ubisoft no matter how you look at it. I can't believe anyone would say Nintendo Hates Rayman when this game has been pushed so hard in many Nintendo Directs

Sucks for people that wanted the game this month. But this is a game that would've gone multiplat eventually anyway, so if you want it that bad, you should still buy it, right?
Of course, the competition will be pretty thick later this year. I'd imagine the game would have a better shot, on Wii U at least, to release this month and not compete with another stylish platformer like Yarn Yoshi or a big-hitter like Mario Kart in September.

this is sadly the case. It is the same for other games:
Microsoft to Publishers: Make your 720 games Kinect enahnced or bust
Publishers: yeah for sure, this is an amazing idea
Nintendo to Publishers: Please port game x to WiiU, we have all the standard input methods and a touch screen interface on the controller
Publishers: No Ninty, your controller is far to exotic for our game
as an example

hopefully this guarantees off-screen play, I wasn't going to buy it otherwise.
Oh wow..

ubisoft?
More like, Ubihard-core.

Even worse still is that it's Ubisoft. I figured that ZombiU bundle was a sign that things were looking really good between them and Nintendo.
Do you really have to ask? lol.
People like to ignore the constant pushing of the title from Nintendo and the fact that they're actually publishing the game in Japan.

Nintendo was even publishing the game. Unless Nintendo decided to back out, I don't see how it was Nintendo's attitude towards the game that made it get delayed on Wii U and not abysmal 3rd party sales. This isnt some deliberate attempt to screw over Nintendo or Nintendo fans and this isn't some dumb move made by Nintendo towards Ubisoft. The simplest answer is always the best one and there is no need for conspiracy theories.

that is the point people expected this in December 2012 it got delayed to Feb 26th
but it turns out the delay was bullshit Ubisoft now is telling those same people to wait 7 months so it can be ported. The ports are a non-issue but 3 weeks away from release should piss any gamer off no matter what fanboy flag you are waving. If you think this was a good move wait until it happens to a game you are waiting on a few weeks from release.
Oh man this one is too freaking good.
You're going to hurt GTA's feelings!

Why sell a game on a game-starved system where there's no competition coming out when you can release it near GTAV's launch? Not only that, it's near the Christmas season where you can buy games like that at bargain basement prices, cutting down the value of the game as well. Why buy Rayman Legends at $50/$60 when I can get it two months later in November for half the price?

I hope this game won't end up like Epic Mickey 2. Origins wasn't a huge hit afaik.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Gaffers, minors and soccer moms. And so are many on B3D.
not even close to Bayonetta's.
lol no.
It's only logical in the sense that Wii U's install base will be bigger by then but that's it. Ubisoft's thinking about the fans, just not about the ones who were looking forward to playing the game during launch window.

Miiverse is a serious PR agent... it can be great but it sure can be evil
Both Mario Kart and Mario will be playable at E3. Chances are at least one of them makes it for the holiday season. Either way that picture is likely accurate just depends if he needs the kart or not. Not like a 3D Mario and a Mario Kart haven't released at the same time also. Happen with 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.

Yep. That is true, but they only complain because game companies are fucking them over in one way or another. It's nice that these game companies can check up on the misery of being a Wii U early adopter, but we can also show praise for the few that deserve it. Ubisoft should have done the honorable thing by releasing the game as originally intended and just do the ports in the Fall.
