Rayman Legends Coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Wii U Version Delayed

Today Ubisoft announced that not only is Rayman Legends coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in early September, but the Wii U version will also release at the same time.

The Wii U version was set to release on February 26, but now it's being pushed back to September. This news is disappointing for Wii U owners who saw the release window in their grasp. 

In a press release, Geoffroy Sardin EMEA chief marketing and sales officer at Ubisoft said the company made the decision after hearing from many Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners about their desire to play the game, ”We decided to give the fans what they wanted while at the same time broadening the audience exposed to this innovative and memorable game.”

Rayman Legends isn't ditching the look and feel of its predecessor, but is adding new gaming modes, characters, environments, and soundtrack. And of course, expect the graphics to tantalize even more this time around. 

How do you feel about the news? Were you planning on picking up the Wii U version?
