If you listen to the podcast you know that I go on reddit quite a bit, and today while surfing along the front page I noticed that in the Wii U subreddit people were discussing how Ancel and his crew are protesting the delay of Rayman: Legends. The top comment in that thread? Someone was trying to get an online protest going that they wonderfully termed “We Love Rayman!”:

“I’ll be making a collage with everybody’s picture and send a thank you to Ubisoft’s developers. The point is to make an echo to Ubisoft, show we do support Rayman, just not their decision.” – Reddit user ‘SuitMyPants’, who has a great username

He asks that people send photos of themselves supporting Rayman to [email protected], and when he gets enough he’ll put them all together in a collage for the developers to see. I’m not sure if this will change Ubisoft’s decision (maybe we’ll get another exclusive demo!), but at least it’ll get them to think twice before doing something like this in the future!

Not to mention that it’ll give the developers a nice warm tingly feeling. Send your photos to the address above if you want to participate! And don’t use a bunch of swear words condemning Ubisoft. That’ll just make you seem like a big jerk who is full of baloney.

It’s currently unknown as to what lies ahead for Puddle developer Neko Entertainment. Having said that, you can be rest assured that the indie studio is busy creating “several games on many platforms.” Wii U is fortunately included in those plans.

Discussing Neko Entertainment’s lineup, the company said:

“Yes, we are working on several games on many platforms. The Nintendo Wii U will be one of these platforms ! But I cannot tell you more at the moment!”

Toki Tori 2 developer Two Tribes has confirmed some of the game’s features on Wii U. Off-TV play and the previously announced “Tokidex Camera” will both be supported.

However, Toki Tori 2’s level editor won’t be ready for launch. This will be added to the game in the future. Two Tribes is also thinking about including Miiverse support.

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.
