Rayman Legends Leaked, Video Shows Wii U NFC Capabilities

Posted on Friday, April 27 @ 08:35:29 Eastern by


Last week we reported on a survey that potentially leaked a Rayman Origins sequel. Daniel and I both high-fived and cheered like school girls. But because it was only a survey, we couldn't get our hopes up too much.

Now, a leaked video has surfaced—this time showing off not only a re-branded Rayman Legends as the sequel's title, but also showing off the game in action on the Wii U.

In the video, the Wii U's NFC capabilities are demonstrated, allowing one gamer to place a Raving Rabbid toy on the Wii U tablet controller's screen, then cutting to the Raving Rabbids appearing in-game. Just like in the smash-success, Skylanders.



It seems that Daniel and I may resume our happy dance. We just hope that Rayman Legends releases for more consoles than just the Wii U.

Tell GR: Do you see yourself ever using NFC technology on the Wii U? And do you think that the runaway success of Skylanders could happen again on the Wii U using NFC?

    Trailer looked really fun like the Origins. It just feels to me it's coming too soon. I hope they don't run Rayman to the ground again with yearly sequels.

    I'm worried mostly because I know that Michel Ancel is off making a sequel to BG&E. Even though that is awesome, I think a HUGE part of the reason Origins was so good was his involvement. Hopefully everyone on the origin-al project can still emulate the secret sauce of the first game without him.

    Where's my Yu-Gi-Oh NFC peripheral?

    Seriously, I'd pay large amounts of many for that.

    When you say large amounts, do you mean over 9000?

    God, guys imagine a Pokemon game for WiiU that utilizes NFC technology with replica Pokeballs. You can trade Pokemon with your friends by PHYSICALLY exchanging pokeballs.

    I can't get over how stupid that controller is, regardless of how cool the NFC tech is.

    It's large, won't have the resolution shown in the video, and just seems really gimmicky. Nintendo will probably release some fantastically innovative games using it, but for the most part it will prove to a useless mechanic.

    Only really disconcerting thing I noticed during the video: The WiiU controller still has slider pads and not analog sticks!!!! The controller isn't meant to be put in your pocket, there is absolutely no logical reason for this travesty. Gawl.
