Rayman Legends no longer Wii U exclusive, coming to PS3 in September

Rayman Origins fans, rejoice - Ubisoft has announced that the Wii U-exclusive sequel, Rayman Legends, is no longer a Wii U exclusive.

While a delay will force gamers of all platforms to wait for September, Rayman Legends will now launch simultaneously on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and (of course) Wii U. How Ubisoft will port the Wii U Gamepad-specific controls and features to PS3 remains to be seen, but we're confident in the studio's multi-platform expertise.

Rayman Legends sees the return of the eponymous hero, dopey friend Globox, and the Teensies to a vividly rendered fantasy world. New game modes, features, and characters are expected to liven the platforming experience. It shouldn't be too hard to please consumers: Rayman Origins is recognized by some critics as this generation's greatest platformer, and what we've seen of its sequel looks promising.

For more on Rayman Legends, keep it locked to PSU. We couldn't be more pleased to hear that Rayman is returning to his brand of origin.

    LOL @2: NEVER buy a console over a third party game until its been at least 6 - 12 months or so after release of the game. As you can see things can change.

    @ash91, I brought a wii for my girlfriend to play wii-sports and wii fit, biggest mistake of my life and waste of money, never again will I buy nintendo. If they didn't go multi with this game (seeing poor sales for wii-u) this would of been the worst selling Rayman EVER!!!! I would rather miss a game rather than buy a console, just for one game!

    So, who's interested in the XBOX 360 version besides PSU/XBOX 360 fangirls?

    @2 If you're that rich, why do you complain? Shut it.

    @5 Spoken like a real moron/troll. It should get some great titles, even if they are from Nintendo.
