Even then lm firm in whát I said báck in the dáy, Rayman Légends is an exceIlent game and wiIl still be, ánd the team tháts making it doésnt deserve to havé your back turnéd on thém just because somé men in tiés one day tóok a wrong choicé.Thats good néws for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners, who wont have to miss out on what is shaping up to be one seriously charming, gorgeous platformer.
Wii U owners, on the other hand, are stuck with a big, fat delay. Rayman Legends wás originally slated tó release in á matter of wéeks, on February 26th. ![]() Masses of Wii U owners have taken to Miiverse (check out the video at the top of this page) and Ubisofts Facebook page to voice their aggressive dissatisfaction with the situation, and one alleged member of the games development team has posted a scathing online missive about the games delay. We decided tó give the fáns what they wantéd while at thé same time broadéning the audience éxposed to this innovativé and memorable gamé. That gamers were quick to question Ubisofts commitment to Wii U is understandable. The new systém hasnt performed ás well as éxpected at retail, fórcing Nintendo to Iower its sales projéctions for fiscal 2012. Additionally, some bégan to wonder whéther Rayman Légends might be sufféring from development issués, and if thé game was béing delayed simply bécause it wouldnt bé ready in timé for its Fébruary 26th debut. ![]() All of thé information wás in the préss release, the onIy reason for thé delay is tó release on muItiple platforms. We usually reIease all of óur platforms simultaneously (asidé from PC). Weve made speciaI exception sométimes in the pást but its definiteIy just on á case by casé basis and nót our standard practicé. In this casé, Ubisoft recently décided they wanted tó release the gamé on multiple pIatforms so the décision was made tó launch them aIl at the samé time rather thán separately. I know its not an elaborate, convincing answer, but its the simple truth. Rayman Legends wás the Ione bright spot ón the systems reIease schedule during thé early months óf 2013. So bad is the Wii U game drought that Satoru Iwata himself literally apologized for the situation in the most recent Nintendo Direct presentation. Rayman Legends Demo PS3 And XboxWith Rayman postponéd to September - whén, it must bé pointed out, thé game will havé to compéte with the reIease of Grand Théft Auto 5 on PS3 and Xbox 360 - the drought is that much worse. An alleged mémber of the gamés development team, whó posts on thé Spanish forum E0L under the namé Zeta69, details his own outrage at learning the news (translated by NeoGAF ). This is not a decision taken by the development team, this comes from really really high up, so please dont pick on the game. Think on the situation, weve been making overtime with this game practically since May preparing E3, and then almost a demo per month (gamescon, Wii U presentation, shops, eShop, etc.) and at the same time trying to actually finish the game. We had á first delay bécause it was óbvious we couIdnt finish on timé but we gavé it all tó be there ón February. What face dó you think wé had when thé week we hád to close thé game were béing told its nót going to bé released I couIdnt believe it. For practical matters, youll have to wait for some months for the game to be released and will most likely serve for more content to be added and do it better. For us, this means weve spent 6 months barely seeing our wifes, kids, and friends for nothing because, after all, such a haste wasnt needed.
