Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed is coming to the 3DS, but not Wii. One would think that this has to mean the game is in development for Wii U.

While SEGA nor Sumo Digital are confirming anything outright, producer Joe Neate has hinted that the title could be released on additional platforms.

When asked if the possibility of a Wii U version has been discussed, Neate said:

“I’m sure there are still discussions ongoing about that at the moment. I think the platforms announced today are the only confirmed ones, but yeah, keep your eyes peeled for potential other platforms I’d imagine.”

Neate wasn’t able to comment on why Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing Transformed isn’t in development for Wii, by the way…

It’s tough to believe, but there have actually been some rumors implying the Wii U won’t be up to the same standards as current-gen consoles. That sounds like rubbish, doesn’t it?

If you’re still concerned about the system’s power, perhaps a new comment from SEGA’s affiliate marketing manager Craig Harris (of IGN fame) will put you at ease.

SEGA and Gearbox Software have been some of the biggest Wii U supporters up to this point. The two companies will be bringing Aliens: Colonial Marines to the system in the near future. According to Harris, this game wouldn’t be on Wii U if it was inferior to current gen systems.

Harris said:

“Nintendo… has to release hardware that’s of the expectations of the gamer today. … I don’t think we would be bringing the game to a system that would be inferior to current gen (HD) systems.”

Project Cars was thought to be coming to Wii U thanks to a logo found on the game’s official website. It was later removed, making us wonder if developer Slightly Mad Studios had made a mistake or announced something they shouldn’t have.

In any case, we have an absolute confirmation that Project Cars has been in development for Wii U. It’s mentioned numerous times in the company’s “overview” report created back in February. Better yet, it contains some information as to how the title will play like on the new console.

The report makes note of the following points:

• Screen as primary view – Ie.. allowing you to transfer play of the game between the TV and on-the-go around the house
• Screen as secondary view – Switch between rear-view mirror, overhead map, telemetry
• Primary input method – Drive by tilting the controller, onscreen buttons replicate the buttons/switches on a real wheel (push to toggle on/off or flip up/down)
• Secondary input method – Manage decisions in the pits (swiping through tire choices, setting fuel amount),
• Camera – Personalize your profile, pose for the podium
• Menu navigation method – Flick photos from your gallery to the TV, private chat with teammates

Project Cars is currently without a release date, though development will wrap up in 2013.

Ubisoft has acknowledged the Rayman Legends video that leaked out today.

It was never meant to be seen by the public – not even at E3. Ubisoft describes the footage as “a purely internal demonstrative video.” The company went on to say that it “in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features.”

Ubisoft said in a statement:

“An internal video showing images of Rayman Origins’ sequel has leaked over the Internet. This video was intended as a purely internal demonstrative video, and in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features.”

I’m sure Ubisoft is waiting until E3 to fully unveil Rayman Legends. It’s less than forty days away!

Before the Rayman Legends trailer leaked ou, NeoGAF member “IdeaMan” made a claim yesterday that the project is coming to Wii U. We now know that’s true. This user also said that Ubisoft Montpellier has been making the title.

In reality those comments wouldn’t be too difficult to predict. After the Rayman Legends rumors initially surfaced, it seemed likely that if it was an existing game, it would be released on Wii U. And given Ubisoft Montpellier’s involvement with Rayman Origins, it would make sense for the studio to be working on the followup. Nonetheless, this does give some credibility to one additional Wii U rumor that surfaced earlier today.

That rumor is the following – If “IdeaMan” is to be believed, the Wii U tablet design shown in the Rayman Legends trailer “is not the final and definitive controller. The one used in this trailer isn’t the ‘updated’ model.'” Make of that what you will.

I’m always very careful with Wii U rumors we post on Nintendo Everything. There’s simply too unverified speculation circulating, and the rumors are usually either blatantly fake or come from extremely dubious sources. In this case, though, I believe the content above has a pretty decent chance of being the real deal.

Some people are already freaking out about the wire attached to the Wii U controller in the leaked Rayman Legends trailer. There’s no need to worry, though!

As we mentioned earlier, the video was most likely created using a Wii U dev kit. A story on The Verge backs this up. The site says that “the tablet has a cable coming out of the bottom of it because it is a dev kit, which currently is only available wired.” According to The Verge, Nintendo will provide studios with new kits in June which feature wireless controllers.

Take-Two hasn’t announced any games for Wii U yet. However, one of the company’s subsidiaries, 2K Sports, appears to be working on something for the console.

2K Sports software engineer Blaine Myers has listed “Nintendo Wii U” on his LinkedIn profile as one of the platforms he’s developed for. Perhaps the studio is making the next MLB/NBA 2K game for the system?

So… wow. That Rayman Legends trailer is a monster leak from Ubisoft. Now that things have settled down, let’s mull over that trailer for some details!

– “Epic” rendering engine
– New playable characters
– Online gameplay
– Social gaming
– When played on the Wii U tablet, there is touch functionality
– Uses a combination of tablets and Wii remotes
– Probably not a Wii U exclusive, but it does have Wii U exclusive content
– Will support NFC functionality
– Rabbid shown, Ezio (Assassin’s Creed) teased with this functionality
– Trailer shows a wired controller, but this is most likely a Wii U dev kit
