Dontcha worry, this is Ubisoft. The chances of the game not being ported to most other consoles/handhelds is currently slightly less than 3.36%.

Damn, I was hopping it would be good. I have Nintendo land and NSMBU and i hate them both. Oh well maybe zombi U. I dunno, if not I'll wait for monster hunter and maybe give that a shot. Really disappointed in my WII U right now.

How can you hate NSMBU ?

I mean you bought it at or near launch, so chances are you like Mario.

I think it's be cause i did like Mario. A long time ago. I dunno man, it's kinda what they say about drugs the first few times you do it it's the best high you ever get. Now I just keep chasing that high and it never comes. Maybe hate isn't the right word, maybe I'm not excited about it. I've been playing with my sister but that's it.  I didn't get into the Galaxy games or the 3ds games either. Maybe I should just quit Mario..

I stopped reading once I realized that you were complaining about an optional part of the game.

Looks like you should've read further.

Don´t play with the Murray gimmick that´s it. You can still play with Rayman in single player like a propper platformer.

There was supposed to be a demo on launch day, but I don't think it happened.

Well, I played the same demo at Best Buy, and I found it to be a lot of fun. The first time I played by myself and liked the transition from playing as Rayman to playing as Murhpy. The game controls well, the visuals are as good as ever, and the level design is still some of the best i've seen for a 2d platformer.

Now, I will say that playing this with one other person is how it should be played. My fiancee and I absolutely loved playing the same demo over but with one of us as rayman and one as murphy. And at one particular part of the demo where she was having trouble (she was rayman), we switched it up and got through it. This title is very well crafted.

I have Platinum for Rayman Origins on PS-Vita as well. Brought me back to being interested in platforming games.

I also tried the Rayman Legends demo on Wii U kiosk. One of the stages in the demo had no Murphy stuff while the other stage had mandatory Murphy stuff where the computer takes over Rayman while you control Murphy.

The stage which required Murphy had pretty small portion of stage requiring Murphy and was surprised that computer took over Rayman. I had been thinking some part of the game levels will be locked away just for people with co-op partners so in that sense it was a good surprise that single player people wont be missing out on any content. The Murphy play itself wasn't platforming nirvana like Rayman but still interesting. I remember enjoying the tilt controls and not "tapping" as much. I do remember that the game maintained a sort of rhythm and tempo even during the Murphy controlled section. The game is gorgeous to look at in motion and has great music so tapping a few things is a small price to pay for the rest of what they have going right.

You should go back and try out the stage that doesn't require any Murphy. Don't expect all the stages to have required Murphy sections. Look forward to what I still think will be one of the best games in the Wii U's launch window.

New Super Mario Bros U on the Wii U is excellent fun for me to play with my wife using Wii Remotes held sideways classic NES controller style while our two 4-year old kids share the Gamepad helping or hindering us with the "tapping" Murphy like Boost Mode support. The Murphy stuff in Rayman Legends is more sophisticated and varied than the Boost Mode stuff in NSMBU.
