So, apparently, the Wii U and according to Wikipedia, the PC (but I can't find anything on AG) are getting an Anniversary version of the obscure PlayStation 2 title, Legend of Kay.

Weird how it's not announced for the PS4 (as of yet), considering PlayStation platforms are where this game started (and I've checked Amazon Germany, there isn't a PS4 and XBONE version either).

Well that's random. Never even heard of it and that video does nothing to spark my interest.

Weird, man...weird.

I think this is the furthest thing from what Wii U gamers want when they ask for more 3rd party support lol.

First of all, the game isn't announced. Your OP said:

Weird how it's not announced for the PS4 (as of yet), considering PlayStation platforms are where this game started (and I've checked Amazon Germany, there isn't a PS4 and XBONE version either).

It's an Amazon Germany leak, but it's not announced for anything yet. That Nintendo link in the OP isn't great as it doesn't make that distinction to the reader which contributed to your confusion. We've seen leaks from European Amazon before and sometimes it's wrong other times it's only part of a story, etc. We'll have to see.

Here's a better written source: http://gematsu.com/2015/02/legend-kay-anniversary-listed-wii-u-pc

...Legend of Kay Anniversary for Wii U and PC, Amazon Germany has leaked....

Given the title is not officially announced, it is unknown whether or not it will be available on additional platforms.

That's much better. Let's assume it's coming to Wii U and PC and move on though.

I remember that game being barely above average. New Publisher is trying to get some games out there though.

Also, don't cite wikipedia. There is trolls and morons typing up misinformation on wiki as much as there are trolls on SW.

You may find this helpful as well if you are a student or if you ever went to school on why you don't quote wiki.

The Top 10 Reasons Students Cannot Cite or Rely On Wikipedia

http://www.findingdulcinea.com/news/education/2010/march/The-Top-10-Reasons-Students-Cannot-Cite-or-Rely-on-Wikipedia.html

There is ten reasons posted in the link, but here is just reason number 8:

8. The contributor with an agenda often prevails

In March 2009, Irish student Shane Fitzgerald, who was conducting research on the Internet and globalization of information, posted a fake quotation on the Wikipedia article about recently deceased French composer Maurice Jarre. Due to the fact that the quote was not attributed to a reliable source, it was removed several times by editors, but Fitzgerald continued re-posting it until it was allowed to remain.

Fitzgerald was startled to learn that several major newspapers picked up the quote and published it in obituaries, confirming his suspicions of the questionable ways in which journalists use Web sites, and Wikipedia, as a reliable source. Fitzgerald e-mailed the newspapers letting them know that the quote was fabricated; he believes that otherwise, they might never have found out.

Here is reason number 6:

Sometimes “vandals” create malicious entries that go uncorrected for months.

Due to the fact that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone with an Internet connection, users can falsify entries. Though in many instances reviewers quickly delete this “vandalism,” occasionally false information can remain on Wikipedia for extended periods of time.

For example, John Seigenthaler, a former assistant to Robert Kennedy, was falsely implicated in the assassinations of the Kennedy brothers on his Wikipedia biography for a period of more than 100 days without his knowledge.

There is plenty of other reasons to avoid wiki in the article linked above. Wiki is a good starting point, but it's poor form to cite wiki for anything here. Let's not start using Wiki as a source. Especially since fanbots here can go to wiki, change/edit wiki, and then come here and pretend it's legit. It's already happened here and the best policy is to not trust users spouting wki as a source. There is a reason why schools don't allow wikipedia as a citation.

That actually looks halfway decent.

That's kind of why I posted that note in parenthesis, Ty. I know Wikipedia can be wrong, but I just didn't have another source.

I know, that's why I posted a better source for you above as well (It's at the top of the post). The original link is fine as it's an Amazon Germany leak anyways, but wikipedia is full of fanboy editing and trolls. I wouldn't even partially cite it ever, which is why you have never seen me cite wikipedia.

Although, bear in mind nothing is announced yet, but I assumed the leak was legit and also posted about the game.

I can't imagine why anyone would troll about a game with so little attention (perhaps lower than games like Okami and Beyond Good and Evil, where at least those games had a cult following, where you CAN SEE where people would get trolled, like Ubisoft themselves are doing with the latter's DNF-staged sequel).

Unfortunately, I'm not e-psychic, so I can't tell you why trolls would do that as well. I don't even understand why lizard squad attacks Origin, Steam, XBL, PSN, etc. They are what they are.

Either way, at least another game is coming down the pike, although it was better than average, it didn't set the world on fire back during it's release.
