Rayman Legends May Not Be A Wii U Exclusive
Rayman Legends has been positioned as a Wii U game since it was officially announced last week at E3. The game was demoed on Nintendo's new console at Ubisoft's press conference, and it was playable on the show floor (on Wii U). Considering its touchscreen-based multiplayer, near-field communication support, and other Wii U-specific functionality, it's clear that much of the game was designed with Nintendo's console in mind. Don't think that means that everyone else is going to be left out, however.
In an interview with Joystiq, Ubisoft senior game manager Michael Micholic shows a little unwillingness to commit. "Well we're not really saying it's a Wii U exclusive, although right now all we're showing is the Wii U [version]." He added that the company is looking at "a lot of different launch options," but that the Wii U was the focus.
Meanwhile, check out our hands-on coverage of the game, straight from the E3 show floor. On the Wii U.
