Is it really so farfetched that Nintendo would "money hat" a 2D platformer???
With all their claims they're trying to work with third-party developers, I don't see why this is so farfetched...
And I'm not even trying to make it out to be a bad thing...
Maybe they should have done it sooner...

I believe the reason this feels far-fetched is because:

1) Nintendo historically did not do this

2) (adding in my part) why would they moneyhat a game in a genre they cover so well? They could have used this opportunity to get more diverse content exclusively onto their system.

You're second point is definitely valid, but I don't think we can put a lot of stock in what they did in the past...

It seems as though we've already seen them do a lot this time around that they haven't done in generations past (third-party opinions and whatnot)...

As for why they would moneyhat this game, I honestly don't know...

Maybe in an effort to remind older gamers of what they loved about the NES and SNES (2D experiences)...

I imagine this game and NSMBU would do a decent job of that...

Having said this, it would appear from all of this info that for the time being, Rayman Legends is indeed an exclusive...

But I imagine if it doesn't fair much better than Rayman Origins it will get ported...
