Wii U Discussion Thread.

I doubt that was the reason why Grand Thief Auto 5 got delayed, beside Lego City looks to be a better game.

Sad thing is it actually does lol However I'm sure people will bash it for being a "kiddy game" I find myself playing more kiddy stuff the older I get. I mean I do play the occasional adult games Spiderman,Batman and Assassin's Creed but idk kiddy games seem to have more fun and creativity. I mean Wonderful 101 looks to be a bunch of fun but I hear people calling it shovelware and kiddy. (Note the people bashing it are people with CoD videos on their channel and I heard CoD fans troll others not all of course. I'm sure CoD has nice people too.

You've never played CoD online, have you?

I did back in late 2010 when I tried CoD BO and found it boring Not bashing just my opinion. Not really a fan of War games (Well like Mass Effect which was kinda a war with guns but I guess that doesn't count lol)

[Hydrohs]

I'm really hoping the delay for GTA 5 might mean Rockstar may do a version for Wii U that could end up being ready by the regular launch (September)

I wouldn't count on that.

3rd party games?

I don't blame him though, Nintendo isn't exactly being innovative with their 1st party titles.

They've barely released any first party titles, how can you condemn them now?

Lego City looks very good, but there's no way it will ever be as good as GTA. GTA has a much wider scope, and a much larger budget as well. Looking forward to playing both.

Hoping Lego has wifi multiplayer tbh. I'm pretty sure nothing has been confirmed as of yet unless I missed something.

Iwata is seen wearing a Google Map Camera thing for the Wii U.

Why does my Wii U freeze every time I'm on the Miiverse looking at a post with over 15 comments/replies? I have to keep unplugging it from the AC Adapter/Cord and I've done that around 5 times now. I don't find it good to keep unplugging my Wii U since I can't turn it off any other way, but has anyone else had a similar problem or is it just my console?

[mitchman_93]

What the hell, Ubisoft not only delayed Rayman Legends, but they forfeited its exclusivity. September release is fine, but only if it was for the other platforms. Its basically a finished game considering how it was to be released in a couple of weeks, but now, nothing its gone. I don't have a Wii U, but considering how buying one in the near future is a goal, having no Legends till then is a bummer.

[AuraChannelerChris]

Yup, it looks like Rayman Legends is going multiplatform after Rayman fans of other console owners nagged Ubisoft about having it in their machines.

The Wii U version better be the top one. They can't surely replicate the fifth playable character.

And if anything, it's got a heavy contender on the other two consoles. GTA V happens to come out that very same month from what I heard.

[mitchman_93]

Yep, its being sent out with so many other games. Origins did well enough however, so it won't matter too much. Also, Miiverse is apparently on fire with this. Ubisoft ticked off the wrong people.

[Grim Heaper]

I'm just worried that we'll get a watered down version of it as a result of it getting ported to the other consoles.

Surely they could have had the Wii U version release on it's intended original release date then have the ported versions come out later

[sceptile33]

So they're delaying the finished Wii U version to port it to the the other consoles? That's a dick move.

Did they? Did they really?

[AuraChannelerChris]

If that's true, Miiverse is like the best place to hear everyone's comments.

Then what are we doing sitting around here for? To Miiverse.

I don't know how it's going to affect Ubisoft. If it sells well on the other systems then by all means they made a smart move. No less, there are two problems that could arise. Like stated earlier, the Wii U version could have less content. On the other hand, how to implement Murphy onto the other consoles? Sony has the PlayStation Move which is good for them while Microsoft is going to struggle here however both could accept simple analog and button input. Then there's the possibility where the levels that utilize Murphy aren't included in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions but they now have new levels instead.

Long story short, I don't know what to say. It's going to look good and play nice on the Wii U but if the other versions get more...what can I say? Money's money.

[mitchman_93]

Did they? Did they really?

Well if you consider that people likely bought the console with incentive to buy this as well, to an extent yes. Legends was due this month, and being moved back to September would piss off many. Especially those who really wanted it. Its not too bad, and I'm not using hyperbole, but they ticked off enough people for sure.

[woot21]

What's a Rayman? Is it related to the Rabbids?

No, Ubisoft is bring back the limbless hero once again to his roots and is changing the Wii U exclusive to be multiplatform.

It depends on what date Ubisoft release it on, since it will be going up against GTA V which will put a dent into it sales.

Either all three version will have Murphy or it get drop, since Microsoft won't let Ubisoft release the game for the 360 if it doesn't have what the other version has, which is also why the long delay for the Wii U version since they have to be released at the same time.

GTA V isn't the only game people will be buying for the whole month of September. They aren't competitive products anyway; the majority of people who buy GTA V are probably not interested in Rayman, and vice versa. It's not like there's a lot of competition for vibrant 2D platformers anyway.

It can still have its sales eaten, not because the products released around it are similar, but because some people can't buy all the games that are released in September. Which is basically the only month of the year games are released.

[noobers]

There's always going to be a major blockbuster released at some point each month. So should there only be one game released each month? It's crazy to assume that releasing a very different product to give consumers an alternative is a bad idea.

Of course, there are no guarantees in selling games, but I don't think any of us is in any position to question Ubisoft's business motives for delaying a game to launch it next to GTA. They aren't dumb.

Any idea on how they could implement him on the other consoles? All I can think of is extra controllers.

[Zibdas]

They aren't dumb.

No, but they sure didn't mind delaying Rayman for some stupid ports.

They will properly map it to the second analog stick since the game is a 2D side scroller, thus doesn't require the player to control the camera.
