This former big deal Wii U exclusive getting delayed from launch window status to September 3 just so it could be ported to other platforms as an equally big deal release (and all launched simultaneously) seems to be well worth the wait, although it also seems that Nintendo’s console is the best way to play this one based on what I’ve heard from a few folks. Nevertheless, the combination of outstanding visuals, breakneck pacing and an amazingly wacky and varied soundtrack make this one a must buy for anyone into “old school” gaming bliss. I hear the game is also pretty challenging if you have terrible reflexes, but that’s par for the course with games such as this. Well, that’s another one for the library once I get around to getting it. That Wii U library is slowly getting better, folks…

Rayman Legends PS Vita Trailer: Vivent les Jeux 2D!
I was going to do this entire post in French and make some really funny (translation: LAME) French jokes, but I can’t speak French very well (c’est la vie!), I don’t trust translation software at all (See the mangled title above) and I didn’t want to be kidnapped and tortured by any French special forces that happen to be in the area or just so happen to drop in to see me for getting too funny about the country. Hey, I was watching The Battle of Algiers again, so I’m a little paranoid today,
OK? Anyway, oh yeah, Rayman! *Ahem.* He’s back and coming to the Vita soon, so if you happen to love colorful and hilarious 2D side-scrolling platform games that just so happen to be made in France, well… Rayman Legends is calling to you from that streetlamp on the corner while accordion music toodles away in the background. Go on… you know you want to drift on over just out of curiosity. Hmmm… maybe you should just buy the game before Maurice Chevalier’s ghost wakes up and starts singing “Louise” or “Thank Heaven For Little Girls”… the gendarmes always come for him when that last tune kicks in…
E3 2012: Feeling Down? Rayman Legends Will Make You Smile In A Few Seconds Flat.
Seriously, if these two E3 videos from Ubisoft’s upcoming (up to FIVE player) Wii U exclusive don’t get you grinning, you’re one pretty mean person having a not so hot day. Don’t spread that frown around at all, I say. Rayman, Murphy, Globox and the rest of the crew want you to let your cares fall away as you race through some mighty pretty (and pretty insane) old-school platforming levels (with some neat and quick “3D” elements) , feeling like you’re years younger, pounds lighter and a bit hairier up top. No, on top of your head, silly (yeesh!). Ha! I saw you smile. Good – that’s just what the game is supposed to do. OK, my work here is done (again)… Thanks Ubisoft!
