In Rayman Origins, Ubisoft sprinkled a number of Moskito shooting stages throughout the experience. These sections won’t be returning in the sequel, however. Why?

Rayman creator Michel Ancel told Nintendo Power that it was a matter of variety. The team felt that Rayman Legends offers a great deal of varied gameplay, so those stages weren’t needed.

“For me, that was really there to break up the normal experience a little bit; to offer players something completely different. But with the varied gameplay in Legends, we already have that feeling. To me, it was a bit too much to bring back the shooter stages on top of that.”

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy sold very well in its first week on the Japanese market. According to Media Create, it moved 141,529 copies. It may have sold even more had Square Enix shipped additional product.

Media Create’s data lists a 85.68% sell-through rate for Bravely Default. That likely led to some sellouts at retailers.

To compare, Project X Zone – another 3DS title making its debut last week – was a bit of a disappointment. It did sell 85,539 copies, but only sold through 57.55% of stock. Making matters worse, 70% of those first week sales can be attributed to pre-orders.

Given the success of Activision’s Skylanders franchise, it isn’t surprising to hear that a third entry in the series is most likely on the way.

Skylanders Giants features a post-credits scene that essentially confirms another sequel. If you’d like to read up on the details from the scene, head past the break. Beware of spoilers!

If you had any sort of doubt that Pikmin 3 wouldn’t be releasing during the Wii U launch window in North America, that should dissipate once you finish reading this post.

Basically, Nintendo published a tiny blurb in the latest Iwata Asks discussion that said that Pikmin 3 would be released in Spring 2013. That set off a firestorm of concern that the game could be missing the launch window.

The notice has since been updated and now reads:

“Pikmin 3 is scheduled for release for the Wii U console in the spring of 2013 in Japan, and during the Wii U launch window, from system release thru 3/31/2013 in the US. (Editor’s note 10/19/2012: We originally published the article citing only the expected release timing in Japan. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.)”

Straight Right is working on a AAA port of a multiplatform Square Enix game for Wii U. We still don’t know which title this is, but you can cross one off the list.

Crystal Dynamics’ Meagan Marie confirmed that there still aren’t any plans for a Wii U version of Tomb Raider.

She said:

“Tomb Raider is in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. No Wii U at this time!”

And thus the guessing game continues. Hitman: Absolution? Sleeping Dogs?

Anyone have their own guess?
