I wonder if it'll include some of the touch play from the Wii-U version.
Either way I'll probably double dip.

I got hyped for Rayman games before it was cool.

I would guess this is pretty much it.
It doesn't; you compete with your friends via ghosts in the challenge mode. No version of the game is going to have direct online multiplayer.
Why is that suspicious? The Vita version of Origins released months before the 3DS version, was rated much higher, and probably sold better too.

There was some rumbling about this, I'm pretty psyched!
As happy as I am that there are choices, I do feel bad that the Wii U lost this as an exclusive and am pretty sure that it'll play best there as that's the platform it was designed for. I kind of feel that if I could have written the history, the Wii U game would have come out when it was supposed to months ago with the Vita version announced around the same time and shortly following, with the other HD console versions being a possibility long down the road after the other two systems' versions made their mark.
That said, Vita and to a lesser extent SmartGlass will make for suitable replacements for the second-screen features. (I have a feeling they're not mentioning it here because it'd be no good if the Vita version was required to play the PS3 version in 5-player mode; instead, they'll kick it out via Remote Play or an app... have they even said if these Wii U features will be included in the other two platforms? Amazon lists only 4P co-op on the PS3 listing, it's making me nervous although they could always DLC the second-screen features if it's not ready at launch.)
It's an American holiday weekend so PR's closed up here, and European PR sometimes just kicks out material either in response to leaks or by accident on a botched understanding of the embargo. I betcha the "large" game outlets will have the announcement and maybe something more come Tuesday...

What kind of a distance does wii u off tv play have? Is it similar to PS3/Vita remote play? Basically can you play off tv play on Wii U in any room of a small house?
No, it has a much smaller range than the normal wifi that remote play uses for PS3/Vita play, but it's made up by the fact that it's a far more consistent and lagless feed. Take the good with the bad, I suppose.
I live in a small house and it doesn't work 10ft past my bedroom. But I hear some people on here say it works in their entire house. I truly don't understand it but I guess your mileage my vary.
I can play mine on all floors of my 1600sq foot townhome, with only the extreme edges of the home displaying the connection error. *shrugs*
You're right though. Lagless is the advantage that PS4 or Smartglass remote play won't have. This Vita version, however, has all the features that the Wii U version seems to have so it's an excellent pickup for non-Wii-U owners. Probably a better pickup than the PS360 versions.
I said I would buy if there was a Vita port, now to keep my word.
Ugh, going to have to find a way to pay off 4 Vita games in the later half of the year.
That makes the list Tearaway, Killzone:Mercenary, Ys, and Rayman Legends.
Not much, but 3 exclusives and multiplat port. The Last of Us and Metal Gear will keep me company until then, along with my backlog.

Ew. Kinda defeats the point then imo. Also the only PS3 game I have that supports remote play is God of War HD and that runs really well from my experience.
And now I read another post that says wii u works in every room of a house. Well I'll just have to see how it works out for me when I eventually get a Wii U.

Thanks for the info! I was wondering about this as well.

Shahid's promises coming true
The publisher Shahid was talking about has to be Ubisoft but I'm still not convinced this is the game he was excited for.
I don't even own a Vita, but yea seems to be this.
That's not what I was getting at. A user in here questioned the authenticity of this announcement.

It is on EU Plus in June. I assume it will be in US as well soon enough. It's awesome. I bought both PS3 and Vita versions when they came out.
