The graphics in SFA have aged well. The gameplay, not so much. Fetch quest-athon ahoy!
Part 2 is out now. I have it.
These were amazing in their dedication to portraying the original series panel for panel.
Joker's voice actor was all wrong for him. But then only Mark Hamill will ever do.
Just get "Wonder Woman" or "Under the Red Hood" if you insist on your Batman. Even "Year One" will do, cause it's another faithful adaptation but of a good book for change.
Honestly, no need. Not only is it the best track, it also has the best track music. I'd link you to youtube but I'm using my mobile.
I just want my opinion of it to be fair. 
I wanted to buy it noowwwwwww
And you didn't unlock the last cup in Excite Truck? Try again, my friend. That last stage is a thing of beauty. Easily the best stage by far. Even it's music kicks so much ass. I won't spoil it for you though.
Actually I can't remember if I did or didn't. I know I've seen the last cup Nebula something right? some sort of alien planet with lots of trippy crystals?? but I can't remember if it was because I unlocked it and then lost my save file or because someone had unlocked it in the break-room Wii at the Nintendo Store when I worked there.
That's the one.

Other games caught my interest and then I gave up with gamestop all together after one last shitty experience.
Now I have Amazon and can purchase it on a whim; which if I weren't so tired right now, I probably would. *adds to wishlist*
Am telling you man, take the jump and live the classics, nothing better than that. I have been lately on a trip down the memory road with Gamecube games and am having a blast, waiting for them Wii U games!!
I just meant that in terms of sending a message. Buying the game sends a bigger message than boycotting it. If the game doesn't sell, they'll blame it on Wii U owners, not the discouraging and unnecessary delay. If it sells well, it kind of justifies the delay (in their mind), but it encourages more support. Not ideal, but it's the best case scenario from this (completely avoidable) mess.
Since we don't live in a fantasy world where people buy products based solely on sending messages from companies that dick them over, that's not realistic. Like I mentioned in another topic, if Rayman Legends launches near the Wind Waker remake now, forget it. Game over. 9 out of 10 people are going to pick Zelda because it's Zelda and ultimately Ubisoft will have traded solid sales on a single console with next to no competition on the platform for mediocre-best-terrible-at-worst sales on 3 consoles due to strong competition.
And that's whats so unfortunate about this. I'm sure there are more gamers like you than there are the ones that will boycott it or purposely wait until they can get it dirt cheap at gamespot in order to spite a game company.A bigger message would be to buy the game (if you were going to before the delay) to show that 3rd party games can succeed on the console.
Additionally, an organized fan movement that opens a dialog with Ubisoft to calmly and respectfully address fan discontent from a Wii U owner perspective would also be far more productive than flooding Miiverse with angry posts or wishing the game to fail. It may very well get ignored, but they're probably far more willing to listen if criticism is presented in a more constructive manner. It's important to be annoyed because this is annoying and it needs to be address because it matters and we need to treat it like it matters. Throwing a tantrum on Miiverse is not the way to do it though.
All I can add to this conversation is that, I didn't play Rayman Origins. I played the Rayman Legends Demo and enjoyed it. I would have bought this game this month, because I really want something on my Wii U. Come September, I will have many more Wii U games as well as PS3 games.
I won't end up buying it.
Not because of bias, or hate, or revenge, or anything like that, just terrible terrible timing.
The load times were not a problem...as in I loved the cartridges of the Nintendo 64 because no loads, and the Nintendo 64 was my favorite system second to SNES.
However, the gaming market was changing back then...and the additional costs to license your game for a Nintendo system plus the additional costs for cartridges over CDs, just made the PS a better business decision for companies...and Nintendo lost the third parties that were developing the games Nintendo wouldn't...which is to say Nintendo makes Nintendo games but 3rd parties tend to make games for the market trends. Once Nintendo lost that they were doomed.
Worse, once they lost them, there was little incentive to go back to Nintendo...they could make their money easily on the other system. Sony played aggressive and Nintendo played arrogantly.
That is why Nintendo lost the 3rd parties. And now Nintendo is humbled, but even if Nintendo gave the 3rd parties everything they wanted, there is still no incentive to care...in a 3 console market, you only have to support 2...the 3rd is just wasted money.
Plus, Nintendo's style of games created a false image about what Nintendo fans valued and who the Nintendo market was.
Nintendo has done much to heal their relationship with 3rd party developers, but very little to heal their image...and they must do both to make a come back that the 3rd party developers will respect.
The only good news for me is that I get to save some money in the short term and can focus on clearing out some more of my backlog. Very disappointed by this news and my intelligence feels insulted by the reason given by Ubi's PR. Just say its about money and I'll at least respect your decision.
So I gave up using condoms to ensure my DNA lives on beyond my death.
Self-preservation is a form of staying healthy
So......how are they going to make co-op work?
If I remember correctly, you launch projectiles by tapping the touch screen.
Basically the same post as EC
I wasn't even a great consumer. I bought Donkey Kong 64.
Quote“We heard from many Xbox & Playstation owners and Rayman fans who told us they really wanted to play Rayman Legends on their current system”, says Geoffroy Sardin, EMEA Chief Marketing & Sales Officer. ”We decided to give the fans what they wanted while at the same time broadening the audience exposed to this innovative and memorable game.”
This is what pisses me off about this whole situation. I've never liked a single Rayman game I've played, I downloaded the demo because everyone here claimed it was awesome but outside the Castle Rock level, I wasn't feeling it. It seemed like it could be fun, but I'd most likely pass on it unless I could get it for cheap - in other words, the game delay or it going multiplatform don't affect me one bit. However, when your PR people say "well we're doing it for the fans" I say "well what about all those times Nintendo fans tell you they want games on their current systems and you ignore them??" This isn't about Ubisoft in particular, mind you, but in general. This is 100% PR bullshit and they know it, but they're going to just keep on smiling while they spit in the face of fans.
The irony of saying that they ported the game to "give the fans what they wanted" is what a lot of fans really wanted was to play Rayman Legends in February instead of September.
I fell in love with Ubisoft when Wii U launched. I bought, finished, and enjoyed ZombiU and Assassin's Creed III, and I was highly anticipating Rayman Legends after played the demo from the eShop.
Now I just feel sick.

N64 is still my most played system and I would go back in time and kill the fucker at Nintendo that convinced anyone to go with CD's instead of cartridges.
There is nothing better than INSTANT load times.
At the time all I noticed was that all the companies besides Nintendo themselves that had made some of the best NES and SNES games like Capcom, Square and Konami were moving to the Playstation. I noticed that most games were coming to the Saturn and Playstation but NOT the N64. I noticed that CD games were cheaper to the consumer and could be knocked down to 20 bucks easily with the Greatest Hits line. I noticed that cool new trends at the time like FMV and CD quality music were NOT on the N64. I noticed that entire genres like fighting games and RPGs, both of which were strong in the SNES, were all but completely absent on the N64.
Ah but the N64 had no load times. Well was that worth losing out on all that other stuff? Of course I think some of Nintendo's best games came out on the N64 so I'm not sure how they would have turned out on CD. Like I don't give a **** if they had load times or not, I just wonder if other major changes had to be made. Still that was clearly the turning point in Nintendo's history that's led to today so has Nintendo's last 15 years been worth it for no load times? I would say absolutely not.
Of course "no load times" isn't the full story. I think the real reason, and I thought that even then, was about control. Nintendo does not own the CD format. They liked how they controlled the manufacturing of cartridges.

RIP Dafoe.
But good riddance to "Yeah if you think X is whatever" and "I need X more Yeah's to reach X number of Yeahs. Help!" posts.
