Wii U Version Of Rayman Legends Looks To Be The Most Expensive

rayman_legends_poster

It looks as though the Wii U version Rayman Legends is set to be the most expensive version available. The official Ubisoft store has the game priced up at £40 while the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the same game are available for £25.  Interestingly, the PlayStation Vita version is £30, but even that’s not as expensive as the Wii U version.

  • Xbox 360: £25
  • PlayStation 3: £25
  • PC: £25
  • PlayStation Vita: £30
  • Wii U: £40

Thanks, Martin

      1. I find it funny that on your twitter, LinkedIn, personal site you’re this smart college student in Georgia that knows his tech stuff but spends all his time doing this sad little act of being an idiot in the comments of a blog that copies & pastes news stories from other sites.

        :D

                    1. I’d rather read this crap and laugh than see some of the other shit people say purporting it aslogic on other sites when they dont know their shit and are just plain wrong.
                      And full of hate

                  2. Why should he be banned just because you think you’re cool in trying to put him down, even though he’s got you by the balls?

                  3. @Rusty i ask myself that question everyday, the mods are retarded on this site, maybe ben sanders is one of the mods, i wouldnt be surprised, they are useless on this site, all they care about is clicks and add revenue, good for me then that i use i add block and pop up block, and filters!!!

                    Its disgusting how many mental health sufferers have access to the internet, seriously their should be a law against trolls, the total lack of consequences for internet trolling and being a douche online is the problem, people should get I.P banned, plain and simple, it would make online gaming and surfing the web so much more pleasant.

                    Shame the minority have to ruin it for the sane majority!!! i wish we could complain about the lazy ass mods some how, the best thing to do is ignore the losers, they soon get fed up talking to themselves, damn social rejects is what they are!!!

      2. In SA the wiiU is the most expensive console priced at R4600 the ps3/360 goes for around R3500 and the vita for R2000 the rest of the consoles like psp/ds and 3ds/3Ds xl is marked between R1000-R2000 respectively.

  1. Why would it cost more? For people to buy the ps360 versions instead? Come on ubisoft. You delay it on wii u and it costs more on wii u

    1. heh., they could have offered in march for that price and absolutely no one would have complained.. they could have released the xbox and ps versions now at their respective price and again.. no one would have complained

      but they seem to choose the dipshit approach every fricking time…

    1. the question is, why does the vita have a different price too, and why they did not just release if for the wii u when it was ready and add free updates to the game as they developed the others and then released them for this price to pick up those other sales. If they released it that way they would see a higher pull of profits.

      1. Vita games usually have a lower price of 40$ vs PS3’s 60$ retail, which is similar to WiiU’s 60$ vs. 3DS’ 40$. At least that’s the way it is in NA. Regardless, it’s still a mystery as to why it’s higher on Vita.

  2. That’s in bad faith. It’s bad enough they delayed the game up until now due to making it multiplatform (not that I have a problem with multiplat). Yes they can justify that giving the Wii U owners that free Challenges app was a good gesture but, I think £40 for the Wii U version is a bit of a kick in the teeth.

    Mind you, at least it isn’t £50+, so that’s good.

    1. funny thing is: if the sales on wii U aren’t up to scratch because people rather buy it on their already existing PC, PS3 or xbox 360 for 15 pounds less guess what they will blame it on

      i am so fed up with ubisoft and their idiotic marketing decisions

      it’s the same over here btw, the wii U version is most expensive, tho the price difference isn’t quite as big (5€)

      1. If they blame the wiiu after this retardation the gaming industry deserves to crash and I don’t care what company survives it we need a reboot.

  3. If this is true and the game sales poorly on the wii u ubisoft is going to blame the install base of the wiiu

  4. Somehow.. We got shafted again. And somehow it was ole Ubisoft……again……for the same game! 2 shaftings for 1 game??!

  5. Are they actively trying to sabotage the WiiU version?

    I mean, it’s probably a case of “next gen console, so it costs more”. But who’s actually going to think that when looking to buy?

  6. If they had released this game when they said initially, I would have bought it. Now, there are more games coming soon which I will get instead and what a rip off!

      1. That’s the price you’re paying regardless. If you’re afraid the price will go up you should order now. ( Those people who want the game. ) If the price gets lower you’ll pay that. So no pre paying…

  7. as fun as rayman is, i doubt this game will sell well on anything. It’s up against games like GTA 5, TW101 etc, if it was released between February-July then it may have had a leg to stand on

    1. You get shafted no matter the version they still get your money and in that way screw your main console of choice.

  8. Well fuck it then, first they delay and now they want more money. Its even comin at the same time when 3DS,Wiiu and Ps3 are gettin lots of other great games. Lets see if i get this next year instead. Seriously this is bullshit, they treat us like piece of shits with this kind of treatment.Yeah i know it has touch controls and all, but it cannot be that much expensive because of those. I was lookin forward to this game as a long time Rayman fan, but dont expect me to care when you treat like piece of shit. Fuck you Ubisoft, its those suits mans again trying to ruin Rayman, first they piss Ancel and his staff to make them work hard to get it ready and then delaying it, after that they make Nintendo fans who were this games target audience in the first place to not care by being greedy. Fuck those suits mans.

  9. Honestly this is just a huge middle finger to Nintendo after promising this as an exculsive and now raising the price. I’m very tempted to cancel my pre-order.

  10. I was excited about the game till i found out it featured 40 + levels from an origins game you can cop for 20 bones..ill wait till it fails on the u and catch it on the bargain bin

  11. As the other guys said, check amazon uk and the prizes are wrong. Wii U is not the most expensive. What is happening to this site? Its like its the one sabotaging Nintendo? There were 2 other articles recently that was incomplete putting Ninty and publishers in a bad light to fans…There was an article about WWE 2k14 tjat was posted and was taken down because the writer did not investigate that it was fake. Tsk….tsk…tsk.

    1. Im not suprised if this is wrong information from this site. You know what thanks from clearing things up. Im done with this site, its just joke they dont have mods and they dont even check are their informations correct. Who runs this site? some teen? lol

      1. Half of the articles here are garbage. We already know the Wii U isn’t selling very well, it’s no secret. Still, we don’t need THIS since it’s not even true. You should always check the prices at lots of stores. :)

  12. W101 here I come. I loved the demo, but the more I hear about this game the worse the news gets. The more I hear about W101 the better the news gets.

  13. Jeez, people already canceling their pre-orders? I’m sure that most of them already saw that it wasn’t true and left it alone but still, normally if i saw something like this i would check my order then decided. Not jump to conclusion and snap out.

  14. Ubisoft: *delays game, leaves bad taste in Wii U owners’ mouths; makes Wii U version most expansive*

    Next Year…

    Yves Guillemot: “Unfortunately, sales of Rayman Legends on Wii U were below sales expectations. Therefore, we will be lowering support for the console.”

    *slow clap*

          1. Go look at the ubisoft store … fuck does no one even research things these days? Lets all believe every fucking news article! dickheads …

  15. Think again Ubisoft. You delay the Wii U version, then charge us the most?? As, I said before, I’ll get it when it’s selling at bargain bin prices.

  16. Pure stupidity. Why would anyone buy the Wii U version now its £15 more expensive than the other console versions? And Ubisoft’s going to come out saying “Oh, we aren’t going to support the Wii U as much anymore because this game didn’t sell as well as we would have liked”

    NO CRAP. You delay the game two weeks before its release date, and now you make it more expensive than the versions on consoles which have a much higher install base? What the hell are you thinking?!? Screw it, I’m not buying anymore new Ubisoft games.

  17. A solid self-sabotage move. If it doesn’t sell well on Wii U, then Ubi gets to claim that Wii U sales are poor, and thus, stop developing for the system. And to think, of all the bigger publishers, I used to respect them.

  19. i’m pretty the main reason for this is that they have “dumbed” down the PS3/360 version coz it doesn’t have 2nd screen support for the game. if you saw the QTE-esque approach they made for implementing Murphy, then you’ll know what i mean. also if i remember correctly, the Wii U version may get more content or something.

  20. To the Wii U haters, If Wii U is current generation, then why is Rayman Legends game cheaper on PS3 ánd more expensive on Wii U? Oh that’s right because it ain’t current generation.

    1. Yes, the Wii u is current gen. The Xbox 360 and ps3 are last gen, the Wii u started this gen in November.

    1. Nice for you that in Australia the prices are same for the different consoles. But here in Europe there is a definetly a price difference. The webshop where I usually buy has the PC version for €29, the xbox360/PS3 for €38 and the WiiU version for €45, and I’ve seen similar prices in other european webshops…

  21. Its a better game on Wii U its all good and Amazon are doing it at a decent price I have a preorder with them for 29.99 so who gives a **** you lot just like a good moan we dont have gta so yeah. I will get gta as well so games are def gonna be a problem at the timebut rayman will be solid amazing challenges app as well

  22. My god. When will this parade of Wii U trashing is gonna stop? Ubisoft must be on fanboyism crack to charge Wii U version so high after all the delay nonsense and exclusive content offerings to make up that mistake. Now this game isn’t worth it on Wii U anymore and if Ubisoft even dare tries to cry “our games doesn’t sell well with Nintendo” BS after, once again, pissing on Nintendo/Rayman fans, they might as well stop the “We love Nintendo” charade and cut loose like the pathetic EA did.

  23. DON'T CLICK ON THE LINK

    Well at least it was proven wrong. Still getting this game despite Ubisoft making it multiplat. I just like to buy good games…

  24. If the wii u version is going to be the most expensive, then ubisoft has just killed the sales of the wii u version. Also the thing that is going to be even more disturbing is the fact that if this game does not sell very well on the wii u, then ubisoft will most likely threaten to drop support for the console. This is just a slap to the face and a middle finger to nintendo fans on so many levels. 1. They delay the game two weeks before it’s release 2. They cancel the wii u exclusivity 3. They Withold the finished wii u version so that they can port it to other consoles 4. They Make the wii u version more expensive. are they trying to kill the sales of the wii u version and doom any other game that they decide to release on a nintendo platform. These publishers and developers really need to stop shafting nintendo fans.

    1. Don’t worry bro, they already confirmed the info was wrong. It’ll be the same price for every console.

  25. Americans think they’re the only gamers in the world?
    There’s no other market except US?
    Glad to see that you’re paying about the same as us for this game though.
    50€ = 60$.

  26. Oddly enough, when I was in England, the Wii U games in general were more expensive whereas here in Australia, Wii U games seem to be cheaper than not only PS3 and X360 but also Wii games. Of course, that’s depending on the shop.

    1. Agreed, there is too much variation among different stores both retail and online…

      Which has some impact on overall sales on each platform…

  27. It’s good that it was confirmed to be fake but every news I hear about this game just makes me less interested…

    I have no plans of ever buying this game right now…

  28. I got my copy of Rayman Legends for Wii U pre-ordered at the price of £30.50 on Amazon UK with the pre order price guarantee, But even without that on Amazon it’s only £34 for WiiU at the moment, compared to Xbox 360 at £32, PS3 at £40 and PSVita at £30.

  29. BS. On Amazon UK, the prices right now are as follows;

    PS3: £39.99
    Wii U: £34.99
    360: £31.99
    PSV: £29.99

    Screw what Ubisoft sell them for. They’re only doing it because they can’t enforce an MSRP anywhere else.

  30. Im sure its a great game, but the only reason it was being hyped was because it was a wiiu game solid looking wiiu exclusive releasing by itself. Against wonderful 101, dc scribblenaughts, gta v and all the rest, i dont see this game selling anything before its price is cut in half.
