Rayman Legends

If you preorder the game from Gamestop prior to the release, you can get a free skin of Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation’s Aveline De Grandpré for Barbara, in game. That's nice I guess? Really not all that great considering the Wii U version really could've been released in February, I feel that if you get the Wii U version, you should also be able to get something else special...

Also, I now plan on getting this game, maybe not on launch day, but I almost certainly will be getting it. :3

I never preorder any game.

However I think I will pick up the game after I get some other big Wii U games.

Exclusive to the Playstation Vita version of Rayman Legends, there are 5 bonus stages making use of the touch pad on the back of the console. There are also 2 costumes exclusive to the Vita. I think it's nice they're making some exclusive stages that actually use the Vita's hardware in ways the other consoles can't do, but I still again think the Wii U should have some more exclusive content being that it's been finished for the last 4 months.

"Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has admitted that the reason why former Wii U exclusive Rayman Legends went multiplatform is because the company didn’t think it would sell enough units on the Wii U alone. Guillemot says that the team didn’t want to create a fantastic title only to see disappointing sales, so they brought it to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Guillemot stands by the decision and says it was the right move for gamers and the team.
“What happened was that we saw the Wii U was not going to sell enough of those games. The game is going to be fantastic, and we didn’t want those creators to wind up in a position where even after making a fantastic game, they didn’t sell well enough. We decided that we had to come out on enough machines that players can try it out on any one that they have, and give more time to both improve the game on the Wii U and create versions for the other consoles.”
“I think it was the right decision for gamers and for the team. My role is to make sure that the team is happy with the quality of the work they do and the reach they can have. The quality is there now, because they had more time. They’ve expanded the possibilities of the game. It’s much bigger content-wise. We have new bosses in key levels and so on. The experience is much more complete. I think it will be one of the best games we’ve ever done.”
“Sometimes we have to go against the urge to get to market too fast. We have to make sure we give enough time and resources to our creators to they can reach the potential in their games. This time, they were very close to excellence, but not quite there.”"

I still think it would've sold on the Wii U.

It would sell less on the 360 and PS3, with PS4 and One coming out soon. Plus while it isn't true for some, a lot of people who play games on the Xbox 360 only really play shooters, because that's the majority of the games available on it. (and that's what most gamers who use their 360 like to play)

I think it would've sold well on Wii U.

This is WAY too late to be actually answering your question, but yeah with the gamepad you have this guy named Murphy who you control with the touch screen. He's pretty much necessary to move around platforms, tap on certain objects, etc.

I'm not even sure how the game would work without Murphy.

The prices for the European version of Rayman Legends have been revealed as follows:

Xbox 360: £25
PlayStation 3: £25
PC: £25
PlayStation Vita: £30
Wii U: £40

So the Wii U version is the most expensive, being about $59.99 in US dollars. The other versions will only be about $40 it seems...I can understand why they'd make the price higher for Wii U, since it includes Murphy, and the Wii U hasn't been selling well. But I don't think I want to buy it knowing that the other versions are $20 cheaper.

Watch Ubisoft stop making games for the Wii U if does not sell as great as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.
Every day Ubisoft makes me not want to buy this game do to how bad there handling this game.

Exactly, the Wii U doesn't sell well, so they decide to delay Rayman Legends for Wii U by 6 months even though it was already finished. Then they make it $20 more expensive than the other versions of the game? Yeah I don't think I'll be buying this Ubisoft.

They're really just being idiotic with their recent decisions...

That's 54 Canadian dollars!
Why are they doing this...
Ubisoft, I thought they said the believed in the Wii U, this shows no belief.
I'll still be getting it though, that Challenges App has made me decide I have to get it.

It looks like Ubisoft made a mistake in the there store.

@JonGryphon Sorry for the confusion it was a mistake on our store. We can confirm the pricing for Wii U, PS3 & Xbox 360 prices are the same.

That's good that the prices are the same on PS3 and 360.

Wait, so are all the prices $60 then, or the price that the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions were supposed to be as stated in my previous post?

I'm just relieved that the Wii U version is the same price.

I'm wondering what the price if it is then...
Hope it's $20 XD

If it really were $20, I would be amazed. If it's the same as the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, it would be US $39.99. Which is about the price of the average 3DS game, so it's really not very expensive at all.
