Wow. Today's challenge=gamepad 100% justified. So fun. I can only imagine these levels co op. Seriously had this game launched as planned in February, i don't think there would be half the negative nancy crap surrounding the U right now. Legends won't be the same on ps360, not even close.. And you cant do something like this co op with a friggin ipad. Wii U should become the easy system of choice if you game with other people in the same room, if more devs put in effort like this.

whom of you two are the elite of the elite?
I wonder if you'll both get a platinum trophy, or one of you will get platinum and the other bronze (or heck, even nothing) once the weekly challenge rolls over in 20 hours.
It also shows how under-utilised the pad was in new super mario U
I made a video so you guys can check out the extreme weekly challenge!
Enjoy. I should have turned up the volume a bit though :x.
Sorry for the horrible quality, it's the best I can do with the equipment I have right now.
It will be a fight to the death.

Thanks for making that video. It looks like a lot of fun. I can't wait until I can access those challenges. I'm not that great at speed runs, though. So, it will probably be a long time before I get there.

I'm on pace to finally hit Awesomeness 2 tomorrow lol. Looking forward to finally trying out an Extreme Challenge!
Dunno about this game, but Wii U outputs 5.1 LPCM over HDMI. If your receiver supports LPCM and is connected to the system via HDMI, you should get 5.1.

40,000 lums hero another Barbara?
does this mean you are guaranteed diamond at the end if only 2 people are on the list?

I think that only the person who ends in first place gets the diamond trophy.
Were you co-opping? I heard you can only get good scores by co-opping.
(It's fun as hell to do, but it's not transforming me into a Legends god.)
No, I did everything myself
. The only challenges where co-op really makes a difference are the collect lums as fast as possible levels.I imagine co-op is helpful mainly for the lum challenges and Murfy's Dungeon challenges.
Also I can't believe they didn't give us a challenge for The Infinite Tower today. I WANT THAT LAST BANNER, DAMMIT!
Rayman Legends is 2.1 because you know, it's a 2D game. There isn't really any depth to the world so surround sound is a bit pointless.
It supports uncompressed 5.1 linear PCM which is better than DTS or Dolby when used correctly. Not sure how it stacks up to Dolby True HD or DTS Master Audio.The Wii U is stupid and broken. It doesn't support dts or Dolby.

Got down to 20 secs on yesterday's daily. I was in the zone at times but for the life of me couldn't break the 20 mark. Idk how some of these ppl do it. I did see one ghost down attacking at a part..prob how to shave half seconds off your time..
My best for today. That part is tricky.
According to the stats in My Stuff I'm 164 in the daily with that score.
This is the same wall I've hit
Gonna stop there, I think :\

Wait why does co-op help the lum challenges?
More people to grab lums?
Murfy can 2x every lum manually so you don't have to chain them all
Or if it's a Murfy's Dungeon challenge, the player can move through the level a hell of a lot faster than CPU Globox

Finally got some time to try it out...this is very addicting.
I suppose I could check out the demo to answer this, but was the chaining mechanic present there? Or was it assumed that Murfy would exclusively be used to pinkify Lums?
If it is new, perhaps it's an indication of a compromise being made to port Legends to control-challenged platforms ;-)
Yeah it was there in the demo, I'm pretty sure. When you're playing solo, at least.
I'm just going for golds at the moment. Managed to snag a few seconds off the weekly challenge to get one.
My Miiverse note managed to get into the popular section. Kind of surprised since the doodle wasn't that great.

Can't check myself because I uninstalled the demo (no need for both), but seeing as you need to almost chain every Lum in the three demo levels to get a gold trophy I believe it was an intended feature before the ports were considered.
This is multiplayer, but it wasn't in the June 2012 trailer: http://youtu.be/HmVtkqypEBw?t=2m26s
Though I guess I don't know for sure what happens if you nab a large Lum first. Maybe it sets the whole string pink?
EDIT: Yeah, I found a video of the demo and the chaining is indeed there, even in multiplayer. Welp!

What cheaters, every character should count as its own. It sucks that its practically impossible to get diamond cause of this on some levels.
Woo.
so that's diamond, huh. damn, then i'm pretty close... i'd just need to get past that stupid obstacle around 1500m. sigh, dunno if it's worth putting more time into this challenge.

I think you can just ignore all the fire eyeballs around the 1500 mark. Just need to get the platform over to Globox and then across quickly he'll jump through the gaps.

I think this is the perfect game/app for me right now. I'm content playing with this thing for a few minutes at a time between doing other important tasks. I tried it out in Off-TV mode and it was perfect. I was doing some homework and wanted a 5 minute break and just turned the Wii U Gamepad on and played on that for a few minutes. It was great!
Yep. It just has to not be Dolby or dts.
Yeah, I know but that's sorta problematic when factoring in the everyday realities of people's home theater systems. I have a nice surround sound system that I can't use with the Wii u because of the lack of Dolby or dts.

Nintendo needs to take a good, hard look at this. If this were included in a game like NintendoLand, I'd still be playing it 6 months out. There's no reason why the next Mario and Mario Kart shouldn't have a daily/weekly challenge mode.
Seriously, fantastic job, Ubisoft.

Actually, 5.1 does work on Sonic Racing for Wii U. So I think it's just most Wii U games don't support 5.1... I read that every first-party Wii U game is only in 2.1.

My thumb.... it is absolutely killing me.
My brother finallllly got here to play the weekly challenge with me.... we've been playing for hours.
After soo much work and frustration, turns out I didn't really NEED two-player for the weekly as I thought. My solo run of the Weekly challenge was 40 milliseconds from getting gold -_-
arrr, at least I'm gold everything now

Lol, me and my brother just sat down to try and beat my solo score for the weekly challenge too. I never would have imagined getting diamond for it, but some how, after I gave up Murphy to control Rayman we kicked some ass and got up to 75 rank, enough for diamond. Not using the CPU is a huge benefit.
This thing is like a drug >_<
I guess the Ubi guys don't care about wii u owners getting a burn out before the real game is even out but the delay already told how much they think they're gonna sell on the platform.
In any case I loved yesterday's challenge and the new weekly one. I"m kinda slow on the Lum Attack ones.

I'd think it'd be more that any burnout comes from lack of new levels, which I'm sure many would expect to be corrected by buying the full game.
This app and SMW got me playing solo on my Wii U for the first time since I got it.
NSMBU and Nintendoland are still being played once or twice a month, but I can see these daily challenges keep sucking me back in more regularly.
What a great demo/app. Let's hope, Rayman gets the attention it deserves when it launches.

I need to get the second awesome level 23 points away if only I could get more silver and gold cups damn
23 points away if only I could get more silver and gold cups damnI think you can gain an awesomeness level by completing all the levels from the original levels, or by getting all the teensies. At least I think I got up one level by doing that.
