        Of course you’d get mad about what he said. You’d be one of the trolls getting the banhammer slammed on your head. xD

  3. I find it funny how the first comments come from the Nintendo “haters” if you guys hate the company so much, why are you literally always on this site

      1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

        True, true. Why else would there be so many of them wanting Nintendo to go 3rd party, because they want to be cheap & only have to buy one system for their games. Tough shit, really, since the days of one single console having a majority of 3rd party games is over. You either adapt or you just stop playing video games. It’s a harsh lesson some people have to learn, but the world is a harsh & unfair place.

      It’s a shame they have been corrupted like most others…

      This is why the Xbots have to be destroyed…

  5. well it was put on hold for a few months, I might pick up the game depending on stuff, but be warn if this game gets annual year’s release like assassin creed, I only buy the one

    1. Same here. I’m pretty excited Ubisoft has a dedicated team customizing it for the WiiU. I’m definitely picking it up, but will not get pulled into yearly releases. Quality DLC? Maybe.

  6. 7th gen games in gen 8 yay! Fuckin yes mainstream gaming fo life my nigs ima cop dis and day new madden cod hybrid namean lil Wayne can rap.

    1. 7gen and The game has been confirmed to run at 900p on the PS4, and 792p on the Xbox One. Both games will run at 30FPS. Sonyan and Xbots YOU HAVE BEEN FUCKED UP DEEPLY WITH NEXT GEN CRAP CONFIRMED.

    I wonder which console preorders there are more of. If the Wii U version sells more than any other console like Rayman Legends did, I will laugh my ass off as I’m one of the people that thinks Ubisoft delayed it so the other versions could cannibalize the Wii U’s sales, and they could use it’s bad sales to drop their so called support for the Wii U. Oh how sweet it’d be! ^.^

    1. Sadly it absolutely won’t. It’s sales will be underwhelming on Wii U. Hell, I’m probably not going to buy it. As much as I want to encourage third parties to come over to Wii U, I’m not going to waste my money on a game I probably don’t want.

      1. Tallon Ridley XIII: Kalas

        It’d be amazing if it did, though, especially if delaying it so the other ports would cannibalize the Wii U sales was Ubisoft’s true reason. Just to teach them a lesson. Cuz having Rayman Legends sell more on Wii U than any other console didn’t teach them a thing. Oh well. Not my problem in the end. It’s not my reputation getting ruined by shitty, one sided delays.
