When Rayman Origins released on multiple platforms it was praised for its fantastic visuals and gameplay and was received relatively well commercially, too. With that in mind, some gamers may be wondering why Ubisoft decided to bring Legends to the Wii U only, and not have another multi-format affair.

According to a recent interview it was for quite a few reasons, one of them being the unique capabilities of the Wii U which would require you to buy extra peripherals if experienced on another platform, or to miss out on specific features entirely.

Speaking to Nintendo Power, Chris McEntee said that the core reason for this being on Wii U is that "we didn't want to give somebody half of the experience just for the sake of getting it out on another console".

"The possibility (for a multiplatform release) could be there, but we chose to really focus on Wii U specifically because it has a special toolset, and because everyone that buys it gets what they need to play the game. Here you buy the Wii U system, you buy the game, and you can experience all of the content without extras."

So it seems that Rayman Legends will take full advantage of the Wii U. Are you looking forward to Rayman's next big adventure in full HD? Let us know your thoughts below.
