It's not that long, and your second question has been answered on pretty much every page.
Yes, it's a sequel to Rayman Origins, a platformer.
When you put certain figurines (the ones in the trailer were probably just for demonstration) on the controller, chips inside communicate with the controller via Near Field Communcation, NFC. This tells the game what the figure is and how to react to it.
Maybe they also required some kind of touch on the screen.
So you could hover over it, and just push the screen with your finger.
I'm sure you just remove the figure once the content has loaded.

Wow that trailer looked awesome!
However I still haven't played Rayman Origins since I wanna get it on Vita and I need a Vita to do that. (Which I plan to get late this year/early next year) so theres really nothing to tell me that I should get this one first since I would rather have it on a portable an-WAIT! YOU CAN PLAY THIS ON WIIPAD ONLY??? DAY ONE!!!!!
If it is a launch title I may just get it day one. (depends on other games, only got enough for 2-3 at launch.) Trailer looked really cool. I must say the way they did the figurines was...well...shocking. Didn't think it'll work like that.

I love waking up to leaks. Especially good leaks.
Also this confirms that Jeff Gerstmann will have to buy Wii U games out of principle.

Only because Epic made it and said that it's next-gen. I can guarantee that nothing short of Mark Rein coming on-stage at E3 saying that Wii U runs UE4 will convince GAF.
Also, to everyone, the controller doesn't even have a Nintendo or Wii U logo on it! It's obviously not final.
The "scanning tech" is the NFC feature Nintendo talked about last year. Putting it on the screen is just a fancier way to do it.

Looks like more Rayman Origins which I love, but boy do I hate exclusive content.

But he wont, cause it's not going to, and doesn't, despite some seedy gaffers in "that thread" trying to act like they have inside info it does.
I'm not so sure the WiiU will be capable of UE4, though, if what they're saying holds any truth. That doesn't mean it won't be more powerful than current hardware, of course.
Or the game could force you to let the figurine on the screen, while pushing you to use the motion-tracking/gyro capabilities of the padlet to control something on the TV. You would have to manage the TV content + win an "equilibrium/balance" real life mini game.
Oh, and we need food NFC tagged
Imagine a western RPG where you'll have to put NFCed bottle of wine, chicken drumsticks, cakes, etc, on the screen, to regain energy.
Picture a situation when you're in a difficult stage with tons of enemies coming at you, your life is low, and you scream at your girlfriend for her to pass you all the real life food and scan it frenetically on the DRC like on a checkout machine in a supermarket, for you to survive.
The implementations are limitless !!

That NFC stuff looks like the gimmickiest gimmick.
Game looks great however. Is it rendered in 3D or completely 2D?

To anyone surprised about the "scanning tech": pay more attention. This was announced early this year, maybe even last year. It's called "NFC."
Basically, it's a chip that can detect proximity to another chip, and send data between them. Place one or a "receiver" in the tablet and one or a "sender" in the toy, and you have this "magic."
It's the same kind of thing used in Skylanders, but the possibilities are endless (for instance, you could use your phone (many phones have NFC now) or your credit card (many credit cards do as well) to make instant transactions).

It's been known for months.
I didn't say that it will, but it's good to know that you have inside info.
So, how weak is it? Wii HD basically?And do you want to take my avatar bet offer?
Edit: Actually, forget it. Letting you troll me is exactly what you you want. See you at E3.

He needs to smuggle some Skylanders into E3 and see what they do when he places them on Rayman Legends on a Wii U tablet.

Is it all 2D art or 3D? I remember seeing some talk earlier that the dragon was definitely polygon based, but looking at this trailer i honestly cant tell if it is really good animated 2D or an actual 3D model.

For all we know exclusive content could just mean tablet-screen and NFC compatibility. Labeled as such it would look like a good selling point on game boxes.
Damn, lots of craziness out there.

I've worked for (and know many people who work for) agencies outsourced from gaming companies to produce trailers like this. In my experience, E3 trailers are produced and finalized 1-2 weeks and sometimes days before E3 - not well over a month. Unless this a "round 1" revision - and I don't think it is - I find it hard to believe this is a legitmate "leak." I think it's a plant.

Wow, that looked fantastic - and that was just a side scroller.

This looks neat. I guess the figures are sort of a Skkylanders-esque monetization approach?

My goodness it looks like
it looks like a painting
LOL @ Altair Back to the Future
It would be good if all future pre-order bonus statues had special features, but it would still make me concerned for those not choosing to buy the statues

I wake up to this?????? I'll take it!
Yes. And although it's an absolutely gorgeous game that rivals anything, it requires almost no horsepower to run. Running Origins on PC at 1080P/60fps reveals CPU/GPU utilization that's less than a typical flash application. I've yet to see a current gen game that requires less power. Memory aside, I'm absolutely convinced it could have run 1080p/60fps on an XBOX without issues. The engine is just that good.

Holy Shit! This is one of the launch titles I presume. Can't wait to see what they have in store for E3!

Rayman Legends is the sequel of Rayman "Origins" that you said you have for Wii/Vita. Meaning, you don't have this game yet, not a port...
Also, looks really cool!
I don't think the game will be Wii U exclusive. The NFC features will be, though.
pleasantly surprised!
how does it have anything to do with his post? He never said he is buying Wii U because it's exclusive.
