76 Comments

There’s a walkthrough of Rayman Legends that you can find after the break.

  • Credible source my ass

    Looks fun, but it little bit too focused on touchscreen gimmicky.

    • Nice Ness

      its not that need that much its just there to help and add to the experience and make it easier for the play since Rayman sidescrollers are usually very difficult

    • me

      its only if ur playing 2 player…………

  • Teen Champion

    Hm, I have Mixed feelings about this game.

    • Gr8 Monst3r

      yeah, me too :

    • Teen Champion

      kinda wierd how we got thumbsed down just cause we hve mixed feelings about it.

    • Dark Pit

      I guess you can say *puts on sunglass* “everybody loves Raymond.”(That as a bad use of that joke)

    • Dark Pit

      *Rayman*

    • Teen Champion

      lol, cool pun, but the thing is people shouldnt just thumbs down because they dont agree. It makes no sence. your meant to thumbs people down if they’re like, Spamming or being Racist or Sexist, not because im not sure if i want the sequel to rayman origins.

    • Dark Pit

      I don’t get it either in fact I thumb you guys up and I agree with you. And I will say it “I’m unsure if I’m going to get this game” if they have a problem with your opinions they an feel death rain apon them.

    • Vulpix

      You’re not alone after Rayman 3d I lost almost all Interest, I mean it was just eh. .
      And don’t worry about the thumbs down we’re allowed to share our opinion.

    • http://twitter.com/Loganku Logan

      But this is a sequel to Rayman Origins. It is different than Rayman 3D.

    • http://www.facebook.com/gibson.e.green Gibson Eckstine Green

      rayman 3d was just an old rayman game (rayman 3 I think, not sure) and then they just made it 3d. So yeah, they were kinda lazy on that one.

    • Egghollo

      It was a remake of Rayman 2.

  • http://wwwdonicwebstartscom.webstarts.com/ donicx

    day one buy for me the first one was awsome and this one will be even better.

  • Co-Wink-Key dink inc

    It’s weird how a 5:58 it now a rhythm game

  • Nice Ness

    This will be awesome game and better on the Wii U
    i look forward to it

    • Kaizar

      It’s ONLY on the Wii U exclusively.

      WE THE BEST!

    • http://twitter.com/Revolution5268 Revolution

      it is!!!!, i heard that it multi platform, wow how did i miss that.

    • http://twitter.com/Loganku Logan

      Thats a rumor that it will be a multiplat.

    • gameboy

      true dat

    • Nice Ness

      your true dat is DENIED

    • littlebigmusic

      It’s multiplatform. Only the extra levels and content that the WiiU gamepad brings is exclusive.

    • Nice Ness

      no dude it has exclusive features but its not a Wii U exclusive sadly… D:

    • jono

      they never confirmed either way, but a representative recently said that they were releasing two exclusives for the Wii U, Rayman Legends and ZombiU, so…. seems likely.

    • Nice Ness

      if i remember right thy said somthin about it not being an exclusive, its in one of the artices on this blog, try and find it :1

    • jono

      they never said it was, they never said it wasn’t. We don’t know.

    • Nice Ness

      they did they said something i cant remember, they said it wasnt a true exclusive or something lemme find and article

    • Tails the Foxhound

      It’s probably a timed exclusive, like GTA5 or the DLC Call of Duty maps on Xbox.

    • Nice Ness

      oh i see you could be right about that
      wait is your name sonic related? :O
      if so BRAVO
      if not -sad face-

    • Tails the Foxhound

      Yes, it’s a Sonic and a Metal Gear reference. I was gonna draw something for my picture, but I decided to just go with an image of “mah waifu” Rita from Tales of Vesperia.

    • Nice Ness

      lol you are awesome :D

  • http://profiles.google.com/xdavidxhoylexx David Hoyle

    i rather get this over any bloody gore killing game. if this was wiiurare i would get it. or maybe when it gets on sale later. it looks pretty cool.

  • Egghollo

    Looks really good. I don’t care for Rayman games though.

    • Egghollo

      Wow, why are people thumbing me down? Makes no sense at all.

    • Franky

      Maybe because you need to try new things.

    • Egghollo

      Um, when did I state that I don’t try new things? I have played Rayman 1, 3 and origins. It’s just nothing for me.

    • Tails the Foxhound

      It’s because people are butt hurt that you have an opinion. It’s not like you even called the game bad, you simply said you don’t care for it.

  • Hallnavy

    I got to play this at the Wii U Experience in Chicago, and this was hands down, my favorite game for the Wii U! Fantastic game!

  • Lunar Halo 24

    This is definitely a day one buy for me. Bought Rayman Origins, and loved it. Hopefully Legends will be even better!

  • Chris

    This game was really fun! I got o play it at Comic- con in the Nintendo lounge. It was the first game I tried and I absolutely recommend it! I’ll be getting this for sure!

  • LaLaLa

    No.2 on my wii u list right next to pikmin 3

  • Bicentennial_Pidgeon

    In the end, they say games sell consoles. Lets look at all the Wii U Games Worth Playing (and keep in mind, the console will not be released for several more months):

    Rayman Legends
    Pikmin 3
    Mario Bros U
    3d Mario installment
    Zelda U
    Darksiders 2
    Project P-100
    ZombiU
    Nintendo Land
    ?Metroid?
    ?Star Fox?
    ?F-Zero?
    ?Donkey Kong?
    ?Kirby?
    Project Cars

    WiiUWare titles that will be innovative, having a choice between trad. buttons, motion control, and gamepad play

    Virtual Console, which will include Gamecube games like:

    The Wind Waker
    Twilight Princess
    Super Mario Sunshine
    Star Wars Rogue Squadron/Leader

    And, most likely, Commonly Eaten Fish: Black Cops the Second (CODBO2) for those who like that series.

    The Wii U is shaping up to sell nicely indeed.

    • http://profiles.google.com/xdavidxhoylexx David Hoyle

      new metroid games should have been released this year. nintendo needs more experience.

    • DonnyKD

      Experience in what?

      How the heck do you know how they’re developing their games?

    • Bicentennial_Pidgeon

      Really, they just need to have another 2d metroid game, or 1st person 3d ala Prime. The auto aiming in Other M was just too strange for me.

    • http://www.facebook.com/gibson.e.green Gibson Eckstine Green

      Actually f-zero was confirmed as a nintendo land minigame. Proof: http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/06/06/nintendo-land-f-zero-racing-e3-2012

    • Bicentennial_Pidgeon

      I’m hoping for a real game tho, not just a minigame. HD online F-Zero sounds better than Mariokart even, to me at least.

  • MarioM98

    That voice creeps me out! 0_o

  • Person (formerly person)

    Can someone who has played this game tell me how it feels? It looks like it would be REALLY akward with all of the touch screen usage and button usage at the same time. Does it flow well? Or do you feel like this is a game better played with 2 people.

    • Teen Champion

      Hm, you might have trouble running into someone who went from E3 here. What i recommend is playing the 1st one for the 2 people question. For the other questions, i’d recommend asking people on different websites. Say, MyNintendoNews or youtube.

    • littlebigmusic

      The games button usage is pretty much the same from the first game, which is near perfect and great fun. The touch screen aspect of this game is completely separate from the button controls. Murphy is played using solely touch screen by one player, while Rayman and the other characters are played using “traditional” controls by another player. Hope that helps. c:

  • Michael M

    If I get a Wii U for Christmas, This along with New Super Mario Bros. U and Pikmin 3 will be the games I ask for.

    • Bicentennial_Pidgeon

      P-100, *hopefully* Zelda and Mario Galaxy 3 for me.

    • jono

      um

    • Jray

      I’m pretty sure they didn’t announce Super Mario Galaxy 3, i knid of pictured Nintendo trying something new instead of another galaxy, although a new galaxy would look AMAZING on the Wii U :D

    • Jray

      Plus I’ve been working to save up enough money, ’cause i can’t wait ’til Christmas. Just wish i knew the price -_-

  • Diamond Ammo

    I’m going with the ps3 super slim now instead, I missed out on so many games, the ps3 will stream ps4 games too :) Since gta 5 is not coming to the wii u…..that turns me off big time,the 3ds RAPES the vita but I think sony is NAILING the console market

    • Diamond Ammo

      you guys have to admit that the uncharted series is AWESOME aswell as little big planet, I played little big planet 2 at best buy once and I was there for AN HOUR creating my own level lol, it’s so addicting

    • csaw

      What does that have anything to do with this article?

    • me

      Yea, but all those games u mentioned are already out, ive played them all, im bored with my ps3 now, its collecting too much dust, so i think its time to move on to wiiu

    • me

      i mean i play my ps2 more then my ps3……………

    • Diamond Ammo

      oh wow I get thumbed down just for saying I’m gonna buy something, grow up fanboys and like all systems, Even though I hate the 360 I still can say good things about it like forza 4 is the best racing sim out there, and fable 2 is awesome,, you guys are so damn immature I swear,

    • me

      LOL, calm down, i wasnt *thumbing u down*, i was just saying what was on my mind, ummm so i guess……..sorry, for doing that?

    • me

      oh u meant u got like the dislike button thingy, lol i didnt even know u could do that

    • Tails the Foxhound

      Buy Tales of Xillia before you move on to Wii U. /shameless_promoting

    • Electric Zoo

      I just want to say Uncharted is one of the most overrated series ever. That is all.

    • Diamond Ammo

      are you kidding me? AFter seeing the call of duty series? Each uncharted game gets better and better and gets lot of work put it into it with call of duty it’s just slap a new 5 hour story on it every year and change the picture on the case.Each game feels EXACTLY the same, if you showed me modern warfare to and modern warfare 3 and did not tell me which one is which they would look exactly the same

    • Diamond Ammo

      I meant modern warfarre 2 to modern warfare 3

    • Electric Zoo

      I never said call of duty wasn’t overrated. Which it is, but it seems to have an equal amount of people who hate and love it. Everyone loves Uncharted, and while they are good games, I personally don’t think they’re all that amazing. I’d list my reasons why, but then I might be confused for trolling when really I’m just some commenter person :P

    • me

      that happened to me XD, i played mw2 one time in my life, then a while after i saw my friend playing mw3, i didnt know which one was which

  • Diamond Ammo

    oh wow I get thumbed down just for saying I’m gonna buy something, grow up fanboys and like all systems, Even though I hate the 360 I still can say good things about it like forza 4 is the best racing sim out there, and fable 2 is awesome,, you guys are so damn immature I swear *sigh*

    • csaw

      What do you expect? This is the wiiu’s home court and you’re rooting for the away team. Also my previous comment still stands this has absolutely nothing to do with the article and it makes it seem like you’re just trying to troll(i thumbed you down for this reason but I’ll take it off). Aslo i don’t hate the ps3 i used to own one. Just watch out where u post things cuz i know I’d get hated on if I went onto a ps3 blog and said i preferred wiiu :-)

    • Diamond Ammo

      I did not say I was rooting for ps3 I said I was just gonna buy it because the super slim ps3 will be cheap and will stream ps4 games, so really I am buying a next gen system for less than 200 dollars,if people are gonna dislike me over buying something I want then they need serious help.

    • csaw

      And was it necessary for you to put that in an article on a wiiu blog? I’m pretty sure we could have gone without knowing but whatever no point in fight ing about it any further

  • Vulpix

    I give up Rayman 3d sucked but how can I not want to play this game after I’ve watched the walkthrough.
