Rayman Legends Delayed Till September And Being Ported To Xbox 360 And Playstation 3

Ubisoft announced today that their upcoming game, Rayman Legends for the Nintendo Wii U, has now been delayed and is no longer exclusive to the Wii U. While the game was originally suppose to be in our hands within a few short weeks, it has now become clear that the game has been delayed by half a year to now come out in September. The delay comes from wanting to port the game to the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 home consoles.

This sudden news comes came to me as very shocking and upon hearing it made me a little upset. The idea that the game is no longer exclusive for the Nintendo Wii U is fine by me. After all, now more people can enjoy this great game. Considering how fun the demo is, I fully expect the game to live up to the hype. What does upset me however, is the fact that I must wait another seven months to play the game. Those of you without a Wii U that wanted to buy this game are probably happy at the news and are probably not as much affected by the major delay. But for a lot of us, including myself, were completely ready to pick up the game in a mere few weeks and start playing this possible wonderful game. Well, delay or no delay, I still see myself buying the game for the Nintendo Wii U in about 7 months.
