Even Michel Ancel is upset about Rayman Legends’ delay. The Rayman creator has been seen with other dev team staffers in photos protesting Ubisoft’s decision to push back the game.

A banner depicted in snapshots includes the words “Release Rayman. Support Ubisoft Montpelier.” Rayman’s speech bubble says “SVP” – which is “please” in English – and the character himself is crying.

Rayman Legends’ delay on Wii U was announced last week. The game is essentially done, but it won’t be hitting Nintendo’s console until early September so that work on newly announced PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 versions can be completed. Ubisoft wishes to release all three editions of Rayman Legends simultaneously in order to avoid two separate launches.

Capcom has supported Wii U with two game’s thus far: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Resident Evil: Revelations, which will arrive on the console soon. Aside from these two releases, more support from the publisher seems to be on the way.

When asked by a fan why Capcom Arcade Cabinet and Darkstalkers Resurrection aren’t coming to Wii U, Capcom’s Christian Svensson explained that the titles’ inception came “before having visibility into the digital Wii U market or Nintendo’s policies/vehicles pertaining to digital.” Svensson did leave a tease for Wii U eShop fans, noting that they “will have things to look forward to in the future.”

Multiplatform refers to”more than one”. It does not necessarily mean “all”.

To answer your question more clearly, the projects in question were conceived of and started before having visibility into the digital Wii U market or Nintendo’s policies/vehicles pertaining to digital.

Fear not though. Wii U eShop fans will have things to look forward to in the future.

In another thread discussing Wii U support in general, Svensson additionally teased:

We’ve got MH Tri Ultimate and RE: Revelations announced for Wii U with more fun you’ll hear about “in the not-so-distant future ™”.

What else might Capcom have in store for Wii U?

The Wii U has its first Pokemon game. “Pokemon Scramble U”, announced in CoroCoro this month, is heading to Japan this spring. It will be available exclusively through the Wii U eShop.

Pokemon Scramble U features the same kind of gameplay fans have been accustomed to with the past two releases. You’ll be able to team up with three other players and use up to 100 Pokemon at once. Pokemon Scramble U will contain the full set of 649 Pokemon.

Fans can likely expect Pokemon Scramble U to make its way to North America and Europe in the future. The mini-franchise is known as “Pokemon Rumble” in the west.
