Rayman Legends won’t be making it out this year. Still, it could be releasing before the Wii U’s launch window closes.
Ubisoft confirmed that Rayman Legends will ship in Q1 2013:
“Rayman Legends will launch worldwide in the first quarter of 2013. We’re happy that fans are excited about the game, and we are taking the time to make sure we deliver a game that lives up to and hopefully exceeds their expectations. We’ll have more details to share soon.”

Box images aren’t always exciting, but not in this case! We get a look at the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate bundle box and the Nintendo Network Premium logo.

A look at Nintendo World Store’s Wii U demo interface

I don’t think we’ll see much of this interface will be represented in the final Wii U product, but maybe a couple of elements could transfer over. It’s always interesting to see these kinds of things in any case.
Thanks to Jonathan Nelson for the tip.

Sony comments on lawsuit against Bridgestone and Wildcat Creek
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Unsurprisingly, Sony’s recent lawsuit against Bridgestone and Wildcat steps from the company’s dissatisfaction that actor Jerry Lambert appeared in the “Game On” commercial.
Senior director of corporate communications Dan Race provided a comment to GamesBeat. Race said that “Use of the Kevin Butler character to sell products other than those from PlayStation misappropriates Sony’s intellectual property, creates confusion in the market, and causes damage to Sony.”
“Sony Computer Entertainment America filed a lawsuit against Bridgestone and Wildcat Creek, Inc. on September 11. The claims are based on violations of the Lanham Act, misappropriation, breach of contract and tortious interference with a contractual relationship. We invested significant resources in bringing the Kevin Butler character to life and he’s become an iconic personality directly associated with PlayStation products over the years. Use of the Kevin Butler character to sell products other than those from PlayStation misappropriates Sony’s intellectual property, creates confusion in the market, and causes damage to Sony.”
Why Rayman Legends is a Wii U exclusive

Ubisoft says that Rayman Legends technically could have been made for other platforms. The Xbox 360 with its SmartGlass technology, and the PlayStation 3 and Vita link, would both be viable options.
But according to level designer Chris McEntee, who spoke with Nintendo Power this month, “we chose to really focus on Wii U specifically because it has a special toolset, and because everyone that buys it gets what they need to play the game.”
“Well, technically we could to it with SmartGlass [for Xbox 360] and with the Vita being linked to the PlayStation 3. The possibility could be there, but we chose to really focus on Wii U specifically because it has a special toolset, and because everyone that buys it gets what they need to play the game.”
McEntee then added:
“We don’t want to have the player dependent on other technology that they have to purchase to make sure they can play the full experience. Here you buy the Wii U system, you buy the game, and you can experience all of the content without extras. And we didn’t want to give somebody half of the experience just for the sake of getting it out on another console. We want the player to get everything that we have to offer them from this game.”
