There's a leaked trailer currently making the rounds online for Rayman Legends, a sequel to 2011's excellent Rayman Origins that is now confirmed for the Wii U. Game confirmation and first actual console footage all in one shot. Let's back up a bit first.
It all started when Fusible spotted a Ubisoft domain registration for RaymanLegends.com and Rayman-Legends.com on April 26, 2012. The title had been floating around, but this registration was the first sign that it was anything more than a concept. Less than 24 hours later -- also known as "this morning" -- a trailer leaked online showing off a two-minute chunk of the Wii U game and its features.
As is often the case with leaks like this, steps are being taken by Ubi to see that all traces of the video are removed from the Internet. This being the Internet, of course, that's not exactly an easy task. The embed here comes from Gamekult (via Joystiq); watch it while you still can.
Just in case you get here and it's already gone, let's talk a little about what's in the trailer. The big news of course is that it's the most extensive look we've gotten so far at actual Wii U in-game footage. It looks like a 2D HD console game should, which is to say just lovely. Lots of enemies and action on the screen, detailed moving backgrounds. Cool stuff.
You also get to see a little bit of what's going on with the platform-specific features. At one point, three people play the game using horizontally oriented Wii Remotes while a fourth wields the Wii U's tablet controller, using the touch screen to manipulate platforms on the screen.
Perhaps even more exciting is seeing the tablet controller's near field communication capabilities in action. Think Skylanders. You put an action figure down on the touch screen and that item then appears in the game. You get to see a little bit of a Rabbid in the game and it's also suggested that you can do the same with an Ezio action figure (from the Assassin's Creed 2 trilogy).
Hopefully you get to see all of this for yourself, as it looks pretty neat. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

This looks to be as fun as origins.Finally its great to see a game trailer thats features people that I can actually believe play video games and not some old people or some high brow, urban yuppies living in some fancy loft that look like they never picked up a control in their lives.

This is truly one of the must-own titles for Nintendo's new console. This is the first time I've ever seen a future-proof Wii U title that uses NFC technology into Ubisoft's franchised title. Two thumbs up for the publisher/developer at Ubisoft!!!!

We all know there's going to be fights over who get to used the Wii U tablet, while the others have only the Wii motes.

I'm really doubting that action figure scanning thing, it just doesn't seem like it could be real.

Rayman Origins instantly became one of my favorite games. News and rumors have been trickling out for a few weeks, so I'm glad to see something credible. I knew Ancel was excited for the Wii U. If the game is that much different on the console, I may have to reconsider my abandoning of Nintendo.
strratisfire
awesome! i loved rayman origins and this one looks even better. this gets me hyped for the wiiu lol

this honestly looks pretty bad..this is the system that SHOULD have come out 5 YEARS AGO to compete with the ps3 and xbox 360...the fact that they are pushing this as "innovation" is beyond laughable
felt like I was watching an e3 demo from 2005...what a joke. I hope the Wii U dies on the shelf..(it won't, but here's hoping)
western devs are where it's at now. Japan etc needs to get their head outta their rear-ends. they had the market on lock for 2 decades..that is no longer the case. change or get left behind...

this is a boat load of information,
1. it is now confirmed that you can have more than 1 wiiU controller connected to the system (it's the first time that it has been confirmed)
2. the wiiu controller has some sort of reader built in for ubisoft action figures? (which sounds pretty neat, I'd buy some if they indeed have dlc levels built into them)
3. games look purrty! :D

This looks really exciting, actually. It looks like Nintendo has learned from the past, and the line-up is becoming more and more of a great start for nintendo. I promised myself this would be the last chance I give nintendo, glad to see their getting smarter
