While Wii U has been struggling, the console’s biggest third-party supporter won’t be abandoning it anytime soon. Ubisoft will be coming out with a number of new titles for the system over the next few months, and it sounds like additional games will come in the future.

Ubisoft EMEA managing director Alain Corre told Polygon that the company believes in Nintendo, and they “feel there are some interesting things we can create.”

“We believe in Nintendo. Nintendo is a company that has proven in the last 30 years that they are able to fascinate tens of millions of gamers. Nintendo is a great game creator; they are magic to a lot of gamers. And we’ve had a lot of great experiences with Nintendo in the past, such as the Wii and the Just Dance franchise. It has become one of the major franchises on the Nintendo system and is growing on Wii U. The other reason is, we’re trying at Ubisoft, as a company, to be early on any new technology coming. We feel there are some interesting things we can create.”

You’ll spend winnings on houses, industrial assets, rentals, and eventually the state of Texas. 25 achievements will be included.

Marvelous AQL has picked up a trademark in Japan for “Plump Valkyrie”. The company produces many different types of games, but some people are connecting the name to Senran Kagura… perhaps because of the first word in the title.

Plump Valkyrie has not been announced as an actual game just yet. Maybe we’ll be hearing about it in the future?

The first review of Rayman Legends is in. ONM provided a verdict in its latest issue, and thought quite highly of the new Wii U game.

Rayman Legends was awarded a 92% score. ONM had high praise for the multiplayer features, stating how it’s “more welcoming that New Super Mario Bros U’s, mainly thanks to heroes being able to pass through each other and the absence of a life counter”. That being said, multiplayer can sometimes negatively impact single-player – mainly the Murphy stages.

Legends’ difficulty system was also praised. While ONM felt it was overall easier than Rayman Origins in terms of “core” stages – which last around seven hours – the optional and “invaded” levels can be very tough to complete.

Also worth mentioning, Rayman Legends apparently uses the Wii U controller quite well. The publication stated, “this is what the GamePad is for”.

Players can look forward to a great deal of replay value. As many of you know, 40 stages from Origins are returning. ONM also says the game possesses a very competitive edge attempted to best your own high scores.

In summary:

+ A turnaround of ideas to rival Mario Galaxy
+ Asymmetric Multiplayer finally done rights
– Not quite as good for the lone wolves
