Companies have come up with products that are somewhat similar in nature to the GamePad. Microsoft, for instance, created a second screen experience through SmartGlass. But the Wii U has an advantage, Rayman creator Michel Ancel believes, since it’s the most responsive.

Ancel has also spoke about the GamePad’s touch screen. He prefers playing with a finger, and told ShackNews that “it’s not very natural to play with the stylus.” And so Ancel and the rest of the Rayman Legends development team created the game so that it could play well with a finger rather than a stylus.

“I think most of the kids now are more comfortable with tablets, they use their fingers. …we did some special developments to interpolate what the player is doing. It’s more accessible than most of the other Wii U games.”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Ubisoft is including 40 levels from Rayman Origins in the upcoming Rayman Legends, including a few Tricky Treasure runs. You’ll be able to access them right away, and they aren’t required to complete the game. All of the levels have received a graphical facelift in order to match Legends’ style.

Ubisoft has also shared details on the “Kung Foot” mini-game, a soccer-themed event that supports up to five players on Wii U. Here’s a quick overview:

– Control any of the available Rayman characters
– Jump, kick, punch, block a bouncing soccer ball
– Need to get the ball in the opposing goal
– Kung Foot is pitched as a funny, aimless party game for friends too tired for anything serious
– Was originally made just for the office
