Surely they're using the time to strip the touch controls out of the game. I can't see the WiiU version still having that and the other versions not.
Maybe?
Maybe?
Probably. Then they will cancel the Wii U version because sales of the classic controller pro are too low.

What's the bet that the 3DS will get a version and the Vita won't?

They could just port the WiiU version across to the Vita! Maybe even knock up a WiiU emulator for the Vita too, wouldn't mind some ZombiU on my Vita.
It means you should take any third party platform exclusive announcement with a grain of salt.

Should have gotten drunk. Does great for the nerves.
Just try not to think about your hair being goofy, or having something on your face, or your clothes being wrong or messy or if your eyebrow hairs are sticking up, etc

It was a tactical retreat FFS!
We left behind sticks of dynamite dressed up as sexy female Emu's on a timer to detonate at dawn!
Emu steaks were had by all.
The End.

I think the only surprising thing about the rayman news is the WiiU version getting pushed back when it was so close to it's release date, which was only like 2-3 weeks away. I think it was always likely to be multi in the end.
Origins was on every platform and never did that well on any of them but when you look at it as a whole it probably did alright, like how Sonic Racing Transformed isn't lighting up the charts anywhere but they've already shipped near a million to retail.

Then there's this bullshit.
Well obviously, but Ubisoft were the one company who actually put some decent third party exclusive games on Wii, so they had a bit more credibility than anyone else.
Still, yet more evidence that third parties want nothing to do with Nintendo. For example, MS apparently have a clause that they wont allow games on their system that aren't day and date with other system's versions. Publishers adhere to that. If Nintendo did a similar thing, they would get no port at all.
I don't know why publishers are so reluctant to support them even with something approaching parity. They had GC which was in between ps2/xbox power, and it got shafted. They made Wii which had double the userbase and got nothing, now Wii U is on par with at least current consoles (whether it can accept scaled down next gen games is unknown for now) and it gets scraps.
Surely it cannot still be a leftover from their licensing requirements of 5 generations ago?

Wow. I want to see the whole thing now. We went into the city for Australia day 88, so I missed this piece of history.
I love next gen hype.
I was 1, so I had no idea what the fuck was going on.
Actually, the dumbest thing about Rayman Legends being delayed is that it will now be seen as yet another shitty 'test'.
Here's what else is due out in September:
GTAV
Wind Waker HD
Pokemon X/Y
Splinter Cell Blacklist (late August)
And possibly a number of other games that scramble to miss the PS4/XB3 release assuming they are around November.
Instead of being a game that would help drive Wii U sales, it will be sent to die on multiple platforms, ignored for bigger games, and then be seen as an excuse to cut back support.
The game is apparently finished, why they need to delay it is baffling.

You may be happy you get to play it, that's fine. But Wii U owners should be able to play it next week.
Why?
Because that's when it was due out?
edit: The wii u version is complete
It's only being delayed so the other versions can come out day and date. What a shafting.
I dunno, I remember getting fired up plenty of times in the past re delayed releases because of some such reason related to platform, or exclusive deal, or whatever. It is what software companies do and it is their right to do it. It is their product after all.
Huh?
The developer/publisher has every right to pick and chose when they release a product.
I don't get why you're so fixated on what companies have the right to do. Just because they have the right, doesn't mean they should do it.
It sucks for gamers and Wii U owners, instead of getting an awesome new exclusive in the next few weeks they have to wait. And 9 months is a big delay for a game that seems to be completely finished.
Plus the devs were putting in crazy hours, not seeing their families and such, just so they could reach the early 2013 deadline, then Ubi turn around and say "lol, we're gonna wait until September now."

Because it's their business and they can do whatever the hell they like with it? They don't owe consumers anything, other than what the law says they owe. And delivering a game in the time they originally said before they changed their mind isn't one of those things.
I think a better reason is that they've done so well in their 2013 financial year (with Assassin's Creed 3 selling over 11m copies, and Far Cry 3 seemingly doing well) that they may have decided to delay it into the 2014 financial year in order to ensure they appease shareholders. That or the game needs a shitload more polish, in which case everyone should be thanking them. Least the developers aren't out of a job...
It sucks for consumers and the developers who worked hard, but they don't owe anything.
yeah but if you were a wii u owner you're probably used to waiting by now

What's the old saying? Patience is a virtWiiUe?
Earlier this week omi said it was poor form to remove functionality when discussing ps3 virtual keyboards.
Today it's perfectly fine for publishers to delay a finished game for no other reason than to appease the other console manufacturers.
One would almost suggest a bit of a double standard here, where it's apparently ok to shaft some consumers on major things, but not others on trivial things.

Blue Dragon and The Last Remnant were both good.
Better than Lost Odysey imo. Which was more like a Lost Opportunity.
You'll find people only care about being fucked up the ass when it happens to them.
And I'm going to speculate and say the percentage of nintendo bias in AusGAF is significantly lower than PS3/360 bias, which is significantly less than PC bias.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE DELAYING GTA5 PC FUCK
