Of course the first leaked Wii U game isnt a game to show us if its really on par or better than the current HD consoles.

Wow an actual decent looking game from Ubisoft around a system's launch.
I'm impressed.

What the hell was that touch figure stuff at the end? I have no clue what it means. Are they going to sell separate little doll things that you can put on Wii U controller and it makes characters appear in-game? What is the point of that?

The last thing Rayman needed was gimmicks. Origins was absolutely pure, perfect gameplay.

Luckily.
No matter how powerful the Wii U is, I doubt one minute of footage from one launch game that's also on PS360 could make us determine whether the Wii U is sub /on par / above current gen power. Yet, GAF's analysts would be all over it, dissecting every aspect and screen, looking for conclusions that can't be drawn.
It's probably for the best that only at E3 when we get to see a whole bunch of Wii U games, we might be able to draw definitive conclusions.
NFC and they announced it a long time ago.

Look out, Ubisoft, you're doing things to promote the console! Nintendo won't like that!
Great trailer (BTTF cues to that music at the end, unless it was BTTF music directly?), I admit I've been slow in picking up Rayman Origins, but now this makes me want to play it even more.

NFC. And it was announced in January
Have you heard of Skylanders? Doesn't matter if it needs them or not, they sell by the bucket loads.

This, I was expecting a port of Rayman 2.

The point is to sell you separate little doll things.
It's like DLC! But you can put it on your shelf as well!
I've seen it, but I don't really understand the significance of setting an object on your controller as a new gameplay experience.

This I will buy at launch.
Instead of paying $2 for a dlc character now you'll have to pay $20 for a physical one.
Genius!!
15 bucks BUT hey it's a money maker and the kids love it. Money in dat bank.
Oh, the 2D lighting technique they have going on looks amazing. I wasn't expecting a 2D game. Awesome.
It's NFC. The Wii U has built-in capability for Skylander-style functionality, being capable of reading (and writing) data from NFC chips embedded into physical objects.

I can make additional caps if you guys want.
I should rephrase my post. They're not doing it to bring gameplay to new heights or anything. It is a gimmick, but Skylanders is mega-profitable so publishers are going to want part of that pie and Wii-U is offering it to them on a silver platter. Right now I'm indifferent towards it, but I'll start to get worried if I see figurines which contain exclusive levels in them, as if DLC wasn't bad enough. Shit, what am I talking about. In this industry it's a 'when' not an 'if'.

OK. Now I have to buy a WiiU.
But I am confused. I do not know if is already anwsered in this topic (did not read all pages) but there are 2 different games, right? Origins 2 and Legends? Legends is WiiU exclusive or all consoles will get both games? In the news about Origins 2 some days ago, the screen grabs seemed to be from this Legends game...

Yeah, especially when there's a big thing sticking out that's obviously a connector...
Well, more bad Nintendo news for people to get off on.
Ya know, looking at it now, it seems that Origins and Legends are really just going back to this...
See? They weren't just ripping off NSMB Wii.

We're talking UbiSoft here. I'm sure this will appear on all of the same platforms on which Origins appeared in addition to the WiiU.

If anything, for all we know Wii U's Ubisoft line-up seems to be much more promising compared to Wii's one; back then their launch line-up on Wii turned out to be underwhelming at the very least - with games such as Red steel, Raving rabbids, Monster 4X4, Far cry, GT Pro, Blazing angels - whereas by now we know that well established big-budget IPs such as Assassins creed and Ghost recon are already coming to Wii U.
Now this leak seems to be a further positive sign in this direction, so if this is to be of any indication of third-parties' support, well, it bodes extremely well imo.

More for you right?
Origins 2 = Legends. The WiiU version simply has some exclusive features.
Yeah.
Wii: Rayman Raving Rabbids
Wii U: Rayman Legends
If it begins like this...
I'm under the impression that there was never an Origins 2, and the earlier leak was for Legends (the Origin 2 screenshots are from this trailer it seems). Legends will probably release on PS3/360/Wii-U/PC/Vita.
Getting current gen ports on a next gen console is an indication of good third parties support?

INTO MY VEINS!
Hopefully Vita receives it as well.
This IS UbiSoft, though, which have supported Nintendo for a while now. They had a huge push for all of their systems in the past decade especially at launch.

Yeah, the "Wii U-only features" suggest it will also be on other systems.
Hopefully Vita receives it as well.
Damn, forgot about Vita. I'll be surprised as hell if it doesn't appear there with Wii-U tablet features as well (sans Skylander stuff).

That would be great, Origins was an absolute joy on the Vita. I must say I'm not too excited at the prospect of putting an Ezio figurine on my Vita screen though...Hopefully Vita receives it as well.

I really hope no-one expected the Origins sequel to actually be called Origins 2. :lol

Looks like they are using the dev controller still, notice the look of the cable. It almost looks like it is an AV cable...

I may be wrong, but like...the trailer said its exclusive to the Wii U.
