It's a great 3d platformer, one of my favorites but worth ~45e? Well maybe if you absolutely love platformers and you need something to play with your 3DS, but it can be bought for a dollar for any other platform out there.

Rented it on the N64 and didn't get very far due to workload at the time (this was 2001). I remember really liking the atmosphere, music, everything.
I picked it up on DS years later, but the controls were awful.
I would pick this up again and try for the third time on NDS when I get one.

Anyone know if it will include the PS2 extras?

Almost certainly not, or else they would have mentioned it by now. It would be nice if they combined the added content/visual upgrades of the PS2 version with the 60 fps/nicer textures/extra minigames of the DC version so that we would finally have a definitive version of the game, but this is Ubisoft we're talking about.SuperSonic1305 said:

Almost tempted, since I've never owned or even played Rayman 2. But at the same time, I cannot warrant buying it without getting some impressions on it first; it could very well be another Rayman DS.
Having owned the N64 version as a kid but never getting too far into it I would love to get this, but I have absolutely no faith in Ubisoft, so I'll probably just end up borrowing it off a friend. And if it ends up actually being a decent port, then too bad on lost sales due to Ubi showing no faith in the product

One thing to note is that there is some indication that the graphics have at least been touched up in some respects. At the beginning of the cam footage in the OP, during the section when Rayman is climbing up the wall, sunbeams have been added to the scene.
It's something, I guess.

Well, if they wanted to release it anytime, launch makes the most sense. Before there's, say, "Super Mario" or whatever to provide competition. As someone who has somehow managed to avoid the previous versions and sees a bit of a dearth of really meaty content on 3DS, they're probably hoping for folks like me.mr jones said:

Still not actual shots; the aspect ratio is wrong and the HUD is on the gameplay screen.

Nah, the biggest thing against it is that it's an Ubisoft-published launch title. The gameplay footage looks promising, but in the absence of any in-depth hands-on impressions (let alone reviews), caveat emptor.

From everything I've read on twitter and impressions from people who have played it say it's actually one of the better launch titles. Though I do still find it odd that people are releasing the screenshots that aren't even widescreen and have the HUD on the main screen. However, I don't normally have faith in Ubisoft, but if what I'm reading is correct its supposedly a pretty decent port, so if you haven't played Rayman 2 (like myself) it probably won't be a bad pick, seeing as it was apparently great game.

The game is a legendary platformer, but I'd much rather have an HD up-port for PSN/XBLA with leaderboards and Trophies/Achievements instead of 4:3 on a tiny screen with (arguably) novelty 3D effect.
I'd still say PS2 version running on either 60gb PS3 (upscale/smoothing)+HDTV or a very good PS2 PC emulator+HDTV would be best.

If only I haven't finished this game in 3 diferent platforms(N64, PC and DC) multiple times, I would be somewhat interested... OoT at least has a graphical upgrade and aparently "some" new content.
Fantastic game though, best platformer from the 64/128 era, if you haven't played it, buy it.

It's gotta be a nasty port with the complete lack of substantive media. It is Ubisoft, after all.
It's sad that even though I own this game and am so anti-port (particularly for new systems that are just getting their feet wet), this is honestly one of the only games I am keeping a hopeful eye out for at this point for the 3DS launch window.
My thinking is that if it isn't a shit port, then at least finally it's a rad game to play. It's not like I beat it 39 times like Ocarina of Time or own 6 copies like OoT.

It is kind of weird that we haven't seen Rayman 3 ported...ever? Yet Rayman 2 again and again...
What is new in OOT 3DS? I mean, I'm going to buy it regardless (and probably not finish it because of minimal additions, just run through a little and see differences).

Could you provide links, please? I haven't found anything on Twitter, and these are the only impressions I've read (and I've played Asphalt - anyone who posts impressions of it without mentioning its godawful framerate is less than trustworthy in my mind). The YouTube footage is surprisingly free of apparent technical issues, but that's not nearly enough to base a purchase decision on.

Okay, here are some of the impressions that I could find, but I know I've seen a few more:
Justin Towell from Catgonecrazy.com
Tom Worthington from gamerzines.com
So I mean it seems like its a pretty decent port, if you can live with a little bit of slow down here and there then it could be a good game for people who are thinking of getting it. Like I said earlier though, I know I saw some more impressions but I can't find them, however I haven't see anyone outright say its a bad port so that gives me hope. Most things are pretty positive about it. Hope this clears up a few things until we get an actual review.

# @zarious1 @Breener_96 It's Rayman 2, but with added 3D. Game was always strong, looks better in 3D. Some bits rather beautiful. Enjoyed it! 7:51 AM Mar 19th via Twitter for iPhone in reply to zarious1
# Finished Rayman 3D last night on #3DS - can't wait for Pilotwings! 7:39 AM Mar 19th via Twitter for iPhone
# Having a great time with #Rayman3D on #3DS Sure, it's just Rayman 2 with a 3D effect, but that 3D sure is purty

Yeah it does suck about the slowdown, but seeing as it doesn't seem too bad to where the person didn't even notice it till someone said something about it maybe it'll be okay. I just really want to get something other than SSF4 at launch, and I love the first Rayman so figured I'd get this one. Hell, I mean if Nintendo can sell launch games that hardly have content past 3 hours for $40, I'm fine with Ubi selling their game for $40 seeing as it has 3D and what not, mainly because its supposedly one of the greatest 3D adventure games even to todays standards, although it is 10 years old. I'm not comparing Nintendo to Ubi by any means, but it seems like every game at launch has its own faults.
