[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19g5PrjR7To&hd=1[/youtube] Watch while you can, this just-leaked trailer for Rayman Legends shows off some not yet ready for primetime footage of the game in action running on Wii U. Since the leak earlier today, Ubisoft has since indeed confirmed that the video was the real deal, but has also gone as far to say that the video was “intended as a purely i...
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVUMPrv8oRw&hd=1 [/youtube] It’s little details such as this that makes me think that Wii U could have a fantastic line up of games come the systems launch. Along with releasing for the usual Xbox 360/PS3/PC combo of systems, this fall Assassin’s Creed 3 will also come to Wii U this Fall. Set during the American Revolutionary War, Assassin’s Creed ...
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCli-TfN3Ng[/youtube]I have been pretty open about my love for Rayman Origins. Simply put, it was one of my favorite games of last year. This year the game is coming out again, this time for Nintendo’s little 3D machine that could. If you haven’t played the game yet (and chances are that you haven’t given the sales numbers of the game), you...
More Rayman Origins Videos So I have already played and beating Rayman Origins three times, on two different consoles. I simply love the game and think the experience is far and away the best platforming game of this console generation (sorry New Super Mario Bros. Wii). Ubisoft simply has done something amazing with the UbiArt Framework, and the game benefits tremendously from it. Now that the 3DS...
Rayman Origins is by far and away one of the most pleasant surprises of 2011. Who knew that the franchise that went from a side-scrolling platformer in 1995, to a mini-game collection in 2006 would come back full circle to deliver one of the finest platformering games in existence. Coming from a Nintendo fan who grew up with Mario titles such as Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World, this pra...
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azJTfvoo4UY[/youtube] Rayman Origins really should be on your radar of upcoming games for this holiday season. For me, the game sits right up there with Skyward Sword and Super Mario 3D Land. With every video I see of the game, my anticipation just continues to grow. I mean check out that art style, the game is just oozing with pizazz. My only complaint with...
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Vq2UufgkWM[/youtube] The only problem I have with this game is which platform to get it for. Do I stick with the tried and true console controls of the Wii, or do I experience the game in an entirely new perspective on the 3DS?! Decisions, decisions! Oh boy does this game look good, I can’t wait. If you are picking this game up, what platform are you ...
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLgXYSa1eLw[/youtube]When booting up the Nintendo Wii, it is a given that you won’t be getting HD visuals and huge polygon counts when compared to other gaming machines on the market. These limitations breed innovation, however, and this is shown of magnificently with Rayman Origins for Wii and 3DS. The hand-drawn art direction that Ubisoft has taken f...
Remember that sizzle reel that Nintendo showed off at E3 will all of that 3rd party support? Well the thing about those games is that many of them will have been out on other consoles for almost a year by the time the Wii U hits the market. Not Assassin’s Creed on Wii U, however. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot says that the Wii U title will not be Revelations, but instead be a title for “the fu...
Ubisoft and Nintendo have had a smashing relationship this console generation, as evidenced by the seven launch titles Ubisoft had ready for Wii. Ubisoft has made the most of this relationship and has, as of this writing, 14 million sellers on Wii. It isn’t a stretch to assume that Ubisoft will continue to support Nintendo platforms in the future, and leave it to CEO and founder Yves Guillem...
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YTtLu5JO7o[/youtube] Ubisoft surprised the gaming industry last month (myself included), announcing that Just Dance had sold 2 million copies worldwide in fewer than four months, making it the fastest selling third-party Wii game ever. “The consumer response to Just Dance has been overwhelming,” said Ubisoft’s Tony Key at the time. “...
Wii MotionPlus exclusive Red Steel 2 has been pushed back to March 2010 for unspecificied reasons, Ubisoft confirmed today. The delay announcement arrives just as Ubisoft was pointing fingers and assigning blame for a substantial drop in sales in the U.S. and the U.K. Key amongst the excuses were “the economy” and “piracy.” Not present in his repertoire was “the fact ...
