Rayman Legends Coming to Vita

At first it was a Wii U exclusive, a game that was supposed to shift consoles, but then Rayman Legends was delayed for the best part of a year so that it could become a multi-platform game. Although the Wii U version of the game had gone gold (and copies of it are sitting around in warehouses), they won’t be available for purchase until the end of year. Legends is now also coming to PlayStation Vita, Ubisoft have announced, and you’ll be glad to know there won’t be another 9 month delay in adding another platform.

The Vita version, like Origins, will contain all of the original maps from the console version of the game, as well as a few additional bonuses. There will be five new maps in which you control Murfy, who you’ll move using the Vita’s rear touchpad. If that isn’t enough, the Vita version also has a Prince of Persia costume for Rayman and a Splinter Cell costume for Globox.

The Vita version of Origins was undoubtedly the best, with smooth animation and beautiful graphics that were supported by that gorgeous OLED screen. Legends, which has had slight improvements made to its visual engine, will certainly be as decent a port.
