Rayman Legends
© 2012 Ubisoft, Inc.
Rayman comes to the Wii U in this adventure designed by Michel Ancel (creator of Rayman, Beyond Good & Evil and the Raving Rabbids). In the story, Rayman, Globox, and the Teensies are off wandering through an enchanted forest when they discover a mysterious tent filled with a series of paintings, each of which seems to tell the story of a mythical world. While focusing on the painting of a medieval land, they are sucked into the painting's world and their adventure begins. You run, jump, and fight your way through each world to save the day and discover the secrets of every legendary painting. You can use the touch screen to take out enemies, manipulate platforms, and cut ropes to clear a path, and the gyroscope technology lets you move rotating platforms. In addition, you can continue playing even when your TV is off by continuing your adventure on the GamePad. Up to five players can play at once by using four Wii Remotes and the GamePad, with co-op, drop-in/drop-out gameplay. Scheduled for release September 2013.
$50, Wii U
