Rayman Legends Release Date gets pushed up

IGN

Rayman Legends Release Date Announced - IGN

Ubisoft has announced when its much-delayed platformer will finally be available, and it's sooner than planned.

August 30th. The apology challenge stuff Wii U owners were promised is now available. That date is a little better…still close to GTA but better. For their sakes they better Nintendo doesn’t announce any platformers for that month or that shit is done.

I don’t really mind Nintendo not doing a traditional E3 live conference this year. All of the pressers the last couple E3s have been a letdown (except Konami’s 2010 event, that was fucking godlike).

Nobody cares about celebrities coming on stage to hype up X game when it’s painfully obvious they’re never going to play it.

I see it as Nintendo trimming the fat and giving people exactly what they want when they tune into E3. ie. New title announcements, gameplay videos and demo impressions.

We don’t need a 60 minute conference to reveal Retro’s new game… just upload a trailer onto youtube.

I wasnt sure what to think about the announcement and i still have some reservations ( Twilight Princess and Brawl’s debuts wouldn’t be the same without hearing the hype from the crowd for the first time ) but if anything i find this move interesting. I want to be optimistic and as much as i respect what they are trying to do, it can easily backfire hard. If Nintendo drops nukes then it won’t matter where the info comes from.

What say you guys? How do you feel about the current developments with E3?

I am also dling the update right now.

Nah, you’re right. It probably will backfire. But I’m just glad we won’t have to suffer through as many filler segments as in past E3s. Things like Kinectimals, Wonderbooks, nerdy white guys dancing on stage, laser tag, or Ravi playing the drums.

Nintendo dropping Wii U nukes is basically any combination of… Retro Studios, Smash Bros, X gameplay, Bayo 2 gameplay, more Fire Emblem X SMT details, New console Mario/Zelda, Mother 3 localization, new Metroid if it’s not the Retro game, new game from Mistwalker, and reviving seemingly dead franchises like F-Zero, Star Fox, Wave Race, 1080, Eternal Darkness.

Bayo 2, W101, MKWII U, EAD Tokyo’s Mario, and WWHD are pretty much assured to be there in video form at minimum. Games that that are kind of in the air would be Zelda Wii U, an actual trailer for smash, smt x fe, X, and retro studios project. In all seriousness though, retro’s game should be assured to show up but since its been what… about 3 years since dkcr? i know they helped with mk7 but thats kind of an on the side thing for them. Then there are the projects that nintendo aint even mentioning that could possibly be released within 3-4 months after announcement since that’s just the way they roll. For all we know they could be announcing 7 or so projects that they collaborated with third parties with…remember…they did say more stuff like that is coming. Stuff that people have thought about leaking to the internet about but never made it for one reason or another…

Speaking of leaks…Activision…shakes his head at this point you should probably stop sending gs stuff until after you have made you obvious announcements.

No Conroy doesn’t bug me much. It’s a younger Batman, not to mention we all gotta move on from him eventually. These guys are gettin old, their voices can’t do this shit much longer.
