Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends were the first two games to make use of the UbiArt engine. And just a few days ago, Ubisoft confirmed that its new project Child of Light will be built on the same technology.

Interestingly, Child of Light isn’t the only upcoming title to feature the UbiArt engine. More are on the way, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed to Game Informer, though he wouldn’t divulge any specifics. You can at least rest easy knowing that “many” UbiArt games are on the way.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams may not support proper off-TV play on Wii U.

The game, which just launched in Europe today, does allow players to go through the experience on the GamePad. It seems as though audio is missing, however. Visuals appear on the GamePad screen, but sound does not emit from the controller.

Another odd tidbit about Giana Sisters – on the Xbox 360, it’s a 1.6GB download. On Wii U though, Twisted Dreams takes up 4GB of storage.

Super Mario 3D World’s playable debut lacked nunchuck support when it came to multiplayer. At E3, people simply couldn’t use the controller add-on while playing with others.

This has been addressed for Super Mario World’s next build, which is on display at Gamescom. According to an EDGE report, it’s now possible to use the nunchuck in multiplayer. You won’t have to worry about controlling characters with the Wiimote’s d-pad any longer!

DLC never made it into Rayman Origins. But for Rayman Legends – the game’s sequel for all intents and purposes – may very well have extra content.

Ubisoft’s Alain Corre told Engadget that the company is mulling over the possibility of such functionality. Nothing has been set, however.

Corre said:

“That’s something we are thinking of for Rayman Legends. There may be some extra things we can do for this game.”

We’ve seen what Disney Infinity looks like on HD consoles. But perhaps you’ve forgotten that the game was released on Wii, too. Here’s what it looks like:

While Wii U has been struggling, the console’s biggest third-party supporter won’t be abandoning it anytime soon. Ubisoft will be coming out with a number of new titles for the system over the next few months, and it sounds like additional games will come in the future.

Ubisoft EMEA managing director Alain Corre told Polygon that the company believes in Nintendo, and they “feel there are some interesting things we can create.”

“We believe in Nintendo. Nintendo is a company that has proven in the last 30 years that they are able to fascinate tens of millions of gamers. Nintendo is a great game creator; they are magic to a lot of gamers. And we’ve had a lot of great experiences with Nintendo in the past, such as the Wii and the Just Dance franchise. It has become one of the major franchises on the Nintendo system and is growing on Wii U. The other reason is, we’re trying at Ubisoft, as a company, to be early on any new technology coming. We feel there are some interesting things we can create.”
