Skylanders is techinically a platformer

but anyway thats literally the only multiplatform platformer I can think of.

So its not okay including a game that originated on the PS decades ago that only the really hardcore probably remember and has many Wii exclusive games basically making it more closely associated with Nintendo recently, but it is okay using a game that was heavily bundled and associated with Nintendo.  See the irony?

Im pretty sure they didnt bundle it or really advertise it

gta V came out the week before so it barely had any media attention outside of some reviews.



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

Raichu's First Series:

First RPG?

First Fighter?

First Racer?

First Shooter?

First MMO?

First Horror?

Official Ni No Kuni Fanboy:

Familiars Captured:37

Game Beaten: 2 times almost

Times I got teary during some scenes: 3

I think you need to read my post again, I said Skylanders was bundled with Nintendo's consoles not Rayman.  Anyway Rayman was more closely associated with Nintendo with its recent Wii exclusives compared to PS, with it appearing on the Playstation 20 years ago.  Hell wasn't there even a Rayman game on N64?

I doubt the developers are gonna make any content exclusive for the Wii U version, that fanbase is tiny compared to the PS4+X1+PC fanbase buying the game and it would be stupid to piss them off unless Nintendo really makes it worth their while which I doubt they would do for DLC, so any content on amiibo would probably come to the other versions of the game.  If this happens it begs the question why even lock the content behind an amiibo, why not just let people download it like the other versions of the game.


What makes you think WiiU version will be the tiny fanbase buying the game? This isnt CoD bro :-/

Jeez, why doesn't Nintendo just finance the game already? They need more software and this is peanuts for a company like them.

Whos to say that Playtonic would even want that?

Just a quick reminder. The general reaction to the fake leak of Rayman in Smash was 'KHAAAN!!!' while the general reaction to Microsoft even hinting they'd be open to loaning Banjo-Kazooie for Smash Bros was atheists flooding the halls of forgotten pagan temples and singing in unison for a planetary choir of such joy and light that it momentarily put Pandora's Box into 'vacuum' mode from the mere concept of Banjo Kazooie appearing on Nintendo again.

All together? Gotcha! Still, Nintendo hardly gets any bonuses why not just 1 from this game? MS/Sony have it all the time! Besides Fans want it, the devs want it. Better to have something than nothing :0

If the devs want it more power to them but I don't see that being the case.  I think they know if the Wii U version gets any meaningful exclusive content the other gamers are gonna be like wtf?!  So I see the DLC being available on all versions of the game, unless Nintendo makes it worth their while to make it exclsuive, which I don't see Nintendo doing.

If they were to do some sort of bonus content, I would expect it to be something that is only possible on the Wii U. By that I mean either something that uses the gamepad or something that uses existing amiibo (ex. Extra bosses, cameos, and small content ala Shovel Knight)
