I adored Origins (masterpiece is stretching it, though) but I know that Legends will not sell gangbusters. Even more so now that it's been pushed to September.
Rayman legends no longer Wii U exclusive and Wii u version delayed

To be fair, it's the fate of most games that don't feature shooting someone in the face repeatedly while cursing over voice chat. A sign of times.
I hope the sign of the times change to open world rpg's.

As long as those games have any direction at all, I'm game. A lot of developers confuse the terms "Sandbox" and "Bag of shit with no structure".I hope the sign of the times change to open world rpg's.
just went from a day 1 wii u sale to a whenever I find it to pirate online 360 download for me.

How is it greed? It's a business. Games need to make profit.
The primary sales regions for Ubisoft are Europe and North America, and while in North America the WiiU sales are alright, it isn't doing all that great in the UK and it's merely passable in the rest of Europe while the PS3 and the 360 have established userbases. It's only natural for the studio to expect a profit off their product so they're broadening the release schedule to encompass all three consoles that are out at this point and it's not something that's considered greedy.
I understand the anger, but purposely making the game possibly fail even more when you would have normally bought the game is pretty mess up.
No offense but if you were worried about the game performing poorly, making multiplat was the only way it would've done better. As much as we hate to admit it, the Wii U isn't selling stellar, and more people would buy the PS3/360 versions most likely.
Why don't the big N just do a sega and put their Ninty goodness to use on other consoles. If they can't push out decent hardware, then give it up already and put your games out elsewhere.
I shudder to think at the amount of money Nintendo could make shoving their wares onto PS and MS platforms

Well their hardware has sold well in recent years and contrary to popular belief, companies aren't fucking retarded and can make hardware sell.

Soooooooo one exclusive game being delayed and made a multiplat equals a system have "crap hardware," even if we don't have any other next-gen consoles to compare it to? And Nintendo should just "give up" on hardware, even though the Wii and DS sold like hotcakes this past generation?
Riiiiiiiiiiight...
Let's make a hyped up Wii U game!
Wait! The Wii U doesn't have that many games...
Oh, People are waiting with buying the Wii U since it has so few games.
Hmm, we better not put out our game then... durr...
no games -> no sales -> devs not making games -> no games -> no sales....

Oh come on lol. The Wii U is old hardware. It's VERY dated and if you think that that hasn't had an influence in poor sales then you have to be mad. And let's be honest, poor sales have driven this to happen with Rayman. And I'd wager money that this wont be the only title to be affected this way over the coming 6 months I'm sure.
It's crap, dated hardware and it hasn't sold because people look at it and wonder, bar a touch screen control, what it does that a current gen system cant at half the price, with a back catalogue of near what, a 1000 games?
Granted, this didn't happen with the Wii, but the Wii was a one off, an innovation if you like which bought new people to the table who had never had an interest in consoles before. The Wii U doesn't have anything new that people are interested in.
I'd blame the piss poor library on the lack of sales like a normal person.
People bought the Wii and that thing is like a toaster in comparison to the Xbox 360/PS3.
This thread is fantastic. I have never seen so many butthurts about something good.
The Wii for its time was great. Like I said, innovative and it offered something new and gave a new dimension to playing games that made people sit up and take notice that there were different ways to play a game.
The thing is, the Wii users from back then are now the ones that are happy to sit on mobiles and tablets paying 69 pence (UK money) to play Angry Birds, Temple Run etc etc etc. The Wii U was never going to keep those same customers as they had back then. And if Nintendo don't have those people this time round then who do they have apart from the absolute diehard Nintendo lovers? They certainly don't have the mainstream gamers as they are all PS3 / Xbox or to a smaller degree PC. And when the new console start to get air time at E3 etc, its only going to get worse for Nintendo with the Wii U.
The writing is on the wall. They don't really have a target audience anymore which is why it's sitting on the shelf in the shops and games are being cancelled or delayed etc
I mean it originally had "Fuck you Ubisoft" in the title.
Someone had a Nagasaki go off in their sphincter.
EDIT: Thought this was Golden Threads, my bad. Still gonna keep this here though.

Giving a sequel to a great game a multiplatform release is good. Purposely delaying an already finished game by 3 months, and then another 7 months JUST to accommodate the release of other platforms (for some odd reason) is bad.

You control a kitten. You fall out the window and have to make your way back home. Solve some light puzzles, do cat things like knock stuff over and steal things, trip people up when theyre walking, pounce on birds, complete goals/tasks etc. in the process of getting back to your home.+1 -

@SylverReZ It's short but adorable imo. Im a HUGE cat lover.Can be completed in a couple of hours if just going for the main goals. But can be stretched out a good deal by exploring and doing everything there is to do and see.+2

So a man goes to the doctor because his boner wont go down. As he is laying in the hospital bed, with his thing propped up in the air, a fly is flying around and landing on the tip and bothering him, so he calls in the nurse. The nurse comes in, swats at the fly but can't quite reach it, so she climbs his boner to get better aim. After a few tries of swatting and sliding back down, she says sorry I cant get it. He says keep going, a few more tries, and I can shoot the fly down.+1 -
