Ubisoft blasted on Miiverse for Rayman Legends news; devs not happy either?
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
To say the least, Wii U owners aren’t pleased with the news that Rayman Legends is going multiplatform. Due to the new SKUs, the game won’t be available until September. The delay was announced just weeks before Legends was supposed to launch on Wii U.
Wii U users took to Miiverse today to voice their displeasure with Ubisoft. You’ll find tons of commentary from system owners on the Uplay community complaining about the news.
But Wii U fans aren’t the only ones unhappy with Ubisoft’s announcement. One of the developers (take this with a grain of salt – he’s apparently “Xavier”, on stage at Ubisoft’s E3 presser last year to show off the title) wrote a fairly lengthy reaction to the delay. Xavier noted how members of the team “spent 6 months barely seeing our wifes, kids, and friends” as they crammed to get Rayman ready for release this month. It was “for nothing”, however, and “it was a hell to swallow” the news. Xavier does stand by the quality of Legends though, and hopes consumers won’t neglect it simply because of what some believe is a poor decision from Ubisoft.

More than 100 million Skylanders toys have been sold
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Last May about 30 million Skylanders toys had already been purchased by kids, parents, and gamers alike. That numbers seemed absurd then, but now– just nine months later– it has more than tripled, topping the 100 million mark this past quarter with help from the release of Skylanders: Giants.
If you’re interested in how much money Activision is making from this franchise alone? Over $500 million in revenue has been generated by the series, with 40% of that coming from the fresh-off-the-presses Giants.

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate servers are region-locked
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate implements region-locked servers. As a result, you’ll only be able to play the game online with others in the same territory as you.
Let’s say you live in the US. Unfortunately, the region-lock will prevent you from experiencing Ultimate with gamers in Europe and Japan.
Capcom community specialist Yuri Araujo, a noted Monster Hunter fan, is none too pleased with the news. While Araujo noted that he’ll be passing along “the demand and feedback”
I’m not thrilled with the servers being split either… I am definitely aware of the demand and feedback, not only in this thread, but also from threads before finding out these bad news; so be sure that I will pass it along.
There is no guarantee this will change though. =/

According to their Q3 financial briefing (how many more of these do we have!?), Assassin’s Creed 3 managed to rake in quite a bit of money for Ubisoft. 14 million copies of the game were “sold-in”, which is up 70% from what Revelations managed to sell in the same time period.
Good job, Ubisoft!
