Product Description
Rayman, named platformer of the year and winner of multiple artistic and musical achievements, is coming to the Wii U with a brand new adventure. Michel Ancel, celebrated creator of Rayman®, Beyond Good & Evil® and the Raving Rabbids® is bringing his innovative creativity to this new and exciting platform. Rayman Legends makes full use of the power of the Wii U.

Additionally, the power of the machine has helped pave the way for new, more detailed graphics and lighting.
Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies are off wandering through an enchanted forest when they discover a mysterious tent filled with a series of captivating paintings. As they look more closely, they notice each painting seems to tell the story of a mythical world. While focusing on a painting that shows a medieval land, they are suddenly sucked into the painting, entering the world, and the adventure begins. The gang must run, jump and fight their way through each world to save the day and discover the secrets of every legendary painting.Key Features

Yep, Rayman Origins 3DS has been pushed back again. I’m not sure how many times it’s been delayed, but it’s at least a few.
Rayman Origins 3DS is now scheduled for Q3 2012, meaning Rayman Legends for Wii U could arrive at nearly the same time as its predecessor.
Kind of crazy when you think about it!

Get the party started with SiNG (working title), a new, interactive musical performance game that will get you and your guests singing and dancing well into the night. With dozens of popular songs to choose from, everyone from novice singers to experienced entertainers will be able to join in the fun. While one person steps up as the main performer, others can dance, sing and clap along with the prompts on the TV screen, making sure everyone at the party is rocking out together.
Nintendo’s E3 2012 media briefing was sorely lacking on content from eastern developers. However, based on a new tweet from president Satoru Iwata, it seems as though Japanese Wii U games will be shown at a later date.
Here’s the tweet, which has been very roughly translated:
“Because I think third-party software lineup for Japan, again the opportunity, along with the announcement of the Release Date and price, such as hard, and would like to introduce, thank you.”
What I can gather from these garbled words is that another event will be held in the future, possibly in Japan, to show off third-party content from Japanese companies. The same event may contain release date and price information.
Or… maybe there are two completely different events. One for Japanese games, another for launch details.
If anyone has a better translation of Iwata’s tweet, feel free to send it in or post a comment!
Just wanted to make sure you’re all aware that Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is confirmed for Wii U – finally. The game will be released this holiday season, presumably in time for the console’s launch.
