CyberConnect2 is working on some sort of new Solatorobo game. We’re not sure what it is yet, and studio CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama isn’t willing to reveal any details at present.

At the Solatorobo: Red the Hunter 2nd Anniversary fan event, however, he teased that “a certain project is moving along.” During the event, which took place in Japan on Saturday, he additionally hinted: “I’m sure there will be something good next year.”

A rumor surfaced yesterday suggesting that Rayman Legends could be out on February 26. Ubisoft isn’t quite ready to confirm that date, however.

When asked about the speculation, a representative said:

“Ubisoft confirms that Rayman Legends is scheduled for release in early 2013. The team is working hard to finalize the game and is looking forward to sharing more details with fans very soon!”

Rayman Legends could still be on track for February 26, but we’ll have to wait a little longer for Ubisoft to either confirm or deny the date.

MCV is reporting that the Wii U managed to sell roughly 40,000 units in its first couple of days on the UK market.

The site’s sources say that the console has essentially sold out, but some first-hand accounts say otherwise. In any event, while stock is still arriving slowly, there won’t be a significant replenish until the New Year.

Regarding software, MCV says that the console is experiencing an attach rate of around 2:1. However, that statistic doesn’t include downloadable sales from the eShop.
