Rayman Legends Challenges free on Wii U this week

[compl3x]

Though Wii U owners may still be steamed about the big Rayman Legends delay, Ubisoft's hoping to make up for it on April 25 with the exclusive eShop release of Rayman Legends Challenges -- a free series of levels for Nintendo's lil' system.

Four modes, including the Wii U-only Dragon Mode, will be playable, offering weekly challenges as well as the opportunity to race against a friend's ghost data.

Rayman Legends is coming to Wii U, as well as Xbox 360 and PS3, in September. Will the Challenges keep y'all satisfied until then?

I'd advise holding off on that purchase. I don't intend on picking up a Wii U until the first hardware revision. By that time one would hope there are ore worthwhile titles.

Plus, since i never owned a wii and the Wii U is BC I can play all those old games.

Hardware revision?? I like the sound of that ;)

I am not in a huge hurry but seeing DirtyLarry get excited about all the new updates makes me excited lol

I think the current Wii U design is as ugly as sin (besides the stupid name). I hope they come up with a better design for the next hardware release.

If you want a Nintendo fix, and you don't already own one, I would suggest picking up a 3DS. It looks like Ninty have been busy little bees getting some new content for the 3DS. Mario and Luigi Dream team, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, a new Legend of Zelda game which is like a prequel to A link to the past, not a 3D remake. Looking good for 3DS owners.

I wish Vita owners had as much cool **** to look forward to.

Yea, this year is fantastic for the 3ds. Hopefully they'll pull out some great stuff for the wii u at e3.

Went to go download it just now, only to then realize it does not come out for a few more days. Do love me some Rayman, and it was (at the time) instrumental in why I even decided to pick up a WiiU, since it was once an exclusive.

Actually hoping this eventually makes it way to the Vita like Origins did. Blast to play on the go.

A lot of people were none too pleased about it going multiplat. It wasn't a good look for Ninty to lose an exclusive which people bought the system for and then the release date got pushed back until Spet. this year.

I have Rayman on Vita. It is the second game I bought. It looks amazing on that OLED screen.

Today's daily challenge is pretty awesome. I'm interested too see how they're going to translate levels and challenges likes that over the the PS3 & 360. It almost seems like it's not possible, without totally destroying the fun of the levels. (And I actually prefer these levels to the standard running & jumping levels I've played so far)

Yeah, this has literally pretty much made the WiiU an awesome purchase, which was not kidding one of the main reasons I decided to get the WiiU, besides the obvious exclusives, was because initially this game was going to be an exclusive. But I just enjoy the platforming and visual style of Rayman a whole, whole lot, and it has been kick ass to fire it up every day and have a new challenge, and they are pretty damn challenging at that. I think I have gotten 2 bronzes, 1 silver, and 1 Gold so far. Just have really enjoyed it, but I do wonder how they are going to keep it fresh, as I already feel like 2 challenges have been very similar to each other. Either way really dig it for sure.

Dare I even ask but do the daily challenges disappear the next day? I havent had a chance to check this out and I hope that I am not going to miss out on anything...

Did anyone else notice buried in the store details this app will be removed once Rayman comes out on the Wii U.
