Good point. I forgot about that. Which one is the friend ID you give people? The NNID or the name that appears when you post on Miiverse?

Ubisoft claims that when possible they release games across platforms at the same time. You said, "But AC3 came out on Wii U later." I pointed out that happened due to the Wii U not being available at the time of AC3's launch, thus it couldn't possibly be released at the same time as the PS3 and 360 versions. Where's the confusion?
So what was stopping them from delaying the PS3/360 versions for all of them to release at the same time?
It's not my job to pity the developers, grow some balls and stand up to the higher ups within the publisher. Don't cry to us, I'm not their friend They want my money? Well, they ain't getting it now. Simple as that.
Maximizing holiday sales on the consoles with the 150 million userbase. Again, smart business.

Exactly.
To everyone who is saying that boycotting the game will send messages of, "Well, we never wanted Rayman in the first place!"
Then have you considered actually voicing your stance to UbiSoft? Let them know, "Hey, I was going to buy Rayman Legends, but because of the delay, I won't be."
Do you even follow wiiU news?
Nintendo showcased Rayman as the game for Wii U's Demo Kiosk. It was also likely going to get some major publicity in the future Nintendo Directs.
The Wii U is getting still developing their userbase, it the drought of first party games would have been a good time to release Rayman. Now Rayman could be swallowed up by other games coming in the later half of the year.
From an independent developer. Not a publisher.
They can form a relationship there. Ubi are hardly looking reliable. Nintendo can't pay for every third party release.
it and ZombiU have sort of headlined the entire Wii U launch. even NSMB:U and Nintendo Land have taken a back seat and i think it's caused the entire console launch to lose some momentum.
Him: "Please , be careful with matches, children. You see my terribly burned face and what carelessness can cause."Total Ubisoft bullshit. I'm boycotting this game.
Can you tell me why holding back Rayman Legends on Wii U is smart business? I'm genuinely curious.
That's what I'm doing. I'm voting with my wallet. I don't mind paying $60 for a 2D platformer. Too bad Rayman Legends will not be purchased at that price for me.
No more than $20 will go to this game. I mean, surely the game would already be at that price in September on Wii U if it came out this month, right? I have to take into account such a price drop.

you do realize that just dance is an incredibly strong seller (strongest franchise) and does only resonate with the wii userbase so far. Saying that ubi has no interest in wiiu success is false.Yes I do.
1) It was the only demo in that shitty kiosk. Nintendo should be thanking them.
2) Nintendo Direct doesn't mean shit in the grand scheme of things.
3) Developing the userbase is no good to Ubisoft. They don't care. They have no vested interest in the Wii U succeeding or not. In the face of a third party drought and missed sales targets, Nintendo had every incentive to moneyhat this game.
Ubi stuck with the Wii, long past the point everyone else jumped ship. Ubi also had two launch window games specifically tailored to the hardware. You can't say that about any other third party on the Wii U. Who better to throw money behind?
Yeah, and Nintendo weren't paying a damn penny toward it. It's not up to Ubisoft to promote Nintendo's hardware on their own dime.
Yes I do.

This is gold.
Maybe they will get rid of the Wii U version entirely and only release on 360 and PS3
Glorious meltdowns will certainly ensue
To be fair, if the game really releases in September against all the big budget competition, it will most likely bomb either way, with or without a couple angry boycotters.Not buying the game doesn't give the message that it's not okay to delay the game; it gives the impression that you don't want more games like it full stop. I guess the best way to respond is to directly contact Ubisoft to voice your disapproval rather than punish the hardworking devs with a game bombing.

And Nintendo threw the Just Dance audience away with such a radical departure from the Wiimote.
After just finishing my 19th Digital download from eShop I see the next blank tile that was reserved for Rayman Legends on my Wii U menu ;_; what will take its place? sniff #FreeRayman
Jesus tapdancing Christ.
Is there a scenario in which Nintendo EVER wins?
"Nobody liked the Wiimote and Nunchuck! It drove developers away! Everyone hated motion controls!"
Iwata: So, we've made a new controller. This one has a tablet in it, but retains everything that the Wii Remote had as well. It also retains a more traditonal control scheme. In the event you don't like that, the Wii Remote is also available to use as another controller.
"How dare you abandon the people who loved the Wii Remote, Nintendo!"
"We release all our games on all platforms*'** at the same time."Pretty sure Assassin's Creed 3 released earlier on the PS3/360 than it did on the WiiU.

Wii mote still works with wiiu. Any just dance fan can use the old wiimote and go with it on wiiu.

Already said why. Go back a page or two.
Larger Wii U install base. One consolidated marketing push. One price-point across all platforms.
I'll give you marketing, but waiting for a larger install base? Might as well release every game near the end of a console's life, then. One price-point across all platforms? Didn't stop other late ports from third-party developers. Also, if I recall correctly, Assassin's Creed III came only about a month later on Wii U. It was perfectly feasible to delay that game a month if they were so committed to releasing games simultaneously. Rayman Legends is being delayed seven months.
This is NeoGAF.gif
I will not be buying it day 1 in September. I WILL buy it for cheaper
hopefully the game will bomb due to the september release date, especially on 360 and ps3.
This is similar to Devil May Cry 4. IIRC the devs found out DMC4 was coming to Xbox 360 when it was announced at a trade show. The Rayman devs are probably better off since the game is apparently finished.
Very interesting in a Rich way, I thought you'd get it. Your love/hate relation with Nintendo is extreme, and good or bad I can't help but read your posts.You actually don't find my posts interesting..

You don't see the inherent value in launching ahead of Halo 4 and CoD?

As others have said:
The only have to market it once. Meaning they only have to pay for ads once.
Q3/Q4 DOES see a lot of holiday sales, even if it is a crowded time period.
Someone else said it: It would be "Yesterday's News" when the PS3/360 versions come out.
It will be cheaper on the Wii U by the time the other two versions come out, while this way they can charge $60 across three platforms with a unified userbase of 150 million+

I was charged for my preorder a day earlier to this news, this is what annoys me the most.
