Rayman Legends likely to stay Wii U exclusive

Rayman Legends is likely to remain as a Wii U exclusive due to the control system.

Level designer, Chris McEntee, said the Wii U has a special toolset and doesn't require players to purchase additonal hardware to enjoy the full experience, unlike the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

"Well, technically we could do it with SmartGlass [for Xbox 360] and with the Vita being linked to the PlayStation 3," McEntee told Nintendo Power [via NintendoEverything].

"The possibility could be there, but we chose to really focus on Wii U specifically because it has a special toolset, and because everyone that buys it gets what they need to play the game.

"We don't want to have the player dependent on other technology that they have to purchase to make sure they can play the full experience.

"Here you buy the Wii U system, you buy the game, and you can experience all of the content without extras. And we didn't want to give somebody half of the experience just for the sake of getting it out on another console. We want the player to get everything that we have to off them from this game."

The Rayman Legends release was recently delayed until early 2013.
