I'd kill for a sequel... with more of those awesome musical levels... hell... just make a Rayman game composed solely of musical levels, i'd buy that in a split second.

 

[Famassu]

I might buy it if it were both games together, even though I already got Platinum on them.

Rayman Legends already has all but, like, a few levels from Origins.

 

[The Horror the horror]

I was on the Rayman hype train back when it was supposed to come on the Wii U then got infamously delayed.

I bought it, played it and stopped lying to myself: Rayman games are some shit.

Yep, now I dont know if it will even sell 100k

They are THE SHIT that is correct! (Origins and Legends are).

If you mean "the shit", as in "great", yeah, they are.

This is the worst post I have ever fucking seen in my entire life

 

[RootCause]

Have them on the vita. Would've loved to get a collection on switch. And that price feels like too much in my opinion. We'll see if the new content makes it worth it.

 

[The Horror the horror]

I can't have an opinion or taste when it comes to platformers? The games don't do it for me. The levels aren't tight or polished like in the Mario or early Sonic games. The character designs are awful from top to bottom. Get off my case. At least I bought the game, I'm just used to better.

 

[Zalman]

This really should have been an Origins + Legends collection. I know a lot of the levels from Origins are in Legends, but it's not the same.

Lol, Sonic games are shit in comparison, even the old ones. Random spikes& other hazards and shitty visibility everywhere in comparison to Rayman. The level designs are great, fitting both a more exploratory "find collectables & secrets" as well as speed running gameplay styles.

I agree.

I also echo the statements about Ubisoft fucking up by not having this at launch.

 

[Cerium]

I wonder if that was a choice or if they really weren't ready.

With USFII at least we know it was just Capcom being Capcom.

Yeah and I can have an opinion that you're wrong.

I don't know, Rayman is not particularly a big seller. It would have gone completely ignored against the likes of Zelda, Bomberman etc.

Other than a few new levels, I don't see how much they can do to make this game the "definitive" edition.
It was already 1080p/60fps on Wii U and other platforms. Not to mention dirty cheap as well so there's really no incentive for people to get it outside of hardcore Rayman fans.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

They thought they were already releasing a Rayman 2 port at launch. Force of habit.

This game's only chance at being successful was as a launch game for desperate Switch owners to settle for as a fifth or sixth or tenth game. Now there's new content being released on the system at a decent pace. Who the hell is going to buy it now?

 

[fabricated backlash]

If i can get it for less than 20 i might bite.

 

[ramparter]

Yeah that's got to be a placeholder, they wouldn't charge that much for this.

They delayed the Wii U game when they realized the console wouldnt sell what they expected.

Switch selling exceptionally + home/portable + room for 3rd party games + Bomberman selling really strong = 60$

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Didn't the Wii U version sell the most overall anyhow?

 

[Waji]

I think Rayman Legends already included most of the levels from Origin. Maybe all of them? Not sure about that.

I still liked origins more.
I'd like an opposite treatment which would be Origins + Legends levels.

Legends seemed more straightforward or something like that.

 

[jufonuk]

And when any other uni franchise comes out , will it see switch support ?

Great that it is coming to switch but 3rd party support is a we will wait and see in the meantime here is an older game remaster or some spin off . Please enjoy

 

[baudelinog]

I have bought this game far too many times already (separately on PS3, PS4, and PSVita) but it's destiny that I'll get it again on the Switch. Those music levels are some of the best in any game I've ever played.

Agreed. Those levels were awesomely designed. The first time I played them I felt something I had not felt since the 8-16 bits glorious days.

And the game is the platformer I've enjoyed the most since those days, too.

 

[Cerium]

Does this game have good co-op?

I'd want anything using the UbiArt engine to go to the Switch.

 

[robotrock]

Yeah!

 

[Shaanyboi]

Have they said how they're handling the Murphy levels here? Because the method they adopted for the PS4 and X1 ports was fucking lame.

 

[test_account]

How are they different from PS3 and Xbox 360?

 

[jdstorm]

Ubisoft blew by not allow this avaliable by the launch.

Not the first time thats happend with this game either. RIP WiiU exclusive launch title

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Going to wait for the definitive price cut to £20 or below.

 

[ChemicalWorld]

Erm you mean better. The Wii U and Vita versions of the Murphy levels were fucking horrible. If the Switch version is similar to the PS4/XBONE version I'll def bite

 

[Tsunamo]

Got it on both Wii U and Vita. It's a fantastic game but I really hope they do some more levels as new content (if I can't have another sequel at least give me that much) and price it right otherwise I can't see myself rebuying it again on Switch.

 

[giapel]

Forget Rayman. Tell me when BG&E 2 is releasing on the switch.

 

[Hermii]

Vita / Wii U solution when mobile. Other versions solution when docked.

I guess.

 

[Pandy]

I was on the Rayman hype train back when it was supposed to come on the Wii U then got infamously delayed.

I bought it, played it and stopped lying to myself: Rayman games are some shit.

This is hyperbole, Rayman Legends is one of the best 2D platform games available... on a non-Nintendo system.

Faint praise aside, Switch hasn't yet had the wave of A-grade 2D platformers that the WiiU had, so maybe Rayman'll do a better job of plugging the genre gap this time around.

 

[nickgia]

I'll buy it if you give me an Origins skin.

 

[GiantBreadbug]

Does this game have good co-op?

Yep! I played the entire game with one other player and it was a blast. Sublime level design, music, art, and controls.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

"we're preparing plenty of surprises" hopefully one of them won't be £59.99RRP. £29.99 and I'd definitely considering rebuying as I love these new rayman games.

lol yeah surprise number one: It will cost only $59.99!

 

[Kouriozan]

100%ed on Wii U in a very short time, this game felt so incomplete.
I'm so skipping it.

Watch Ubisoft will butcher the release again by releasing it close to Super Mario Odyssey.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Ugh, saw this bumped and thought we had a release date...

 

[mindsale]

We know the price is at least 29.99, since it should be 19.99 but Switch games have a $10 surcharge.

 

[sheaaaa]

Yeah whether I get this depends if I have the option to remove the shitty touchscreen stuff from the game.

Legends is still my biggest ever gaming disappointment. Loved, loved, loved Origins, but Murfy ruined Legends on Wii U for me.

 

[frankie_baby]

We know the price is at least 29.99, since it should be 19.99 but Switch games have a $10 surcharge.

I imagine they would have launched at at least 30 even if there was no "switch tax"

"Developers: Ubisoft Montpellier, Pastagames"

Is that some mistake? They made the original Rayman Jungle Run.

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Legends seemed more straightforward or something like that.

I wouldn't say that. It had the new levels, most of the levels from Origins, the music levels, the invasions, the challenges, Kung Foot... it's an awesome package.

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Have they said how they're handling the Murphy levels here? Because the method they adopted for the PS4 and X1 ports was fucking lame.

Yup, the official description for the game mentions "you can also connect two consoles for playing in local co-op", so it's basically handled via local multiplayer with two or more Switches:

1-4 docked or handheld mode Switches on the TV and Switch screens platforming, with up to 4 Joy-Con controllers (8?) connected between them
1 handheld mode Switch playing as Murphy

 

[Fireblend]

Does this game have good co-op?

I 100%'d both games with my girlfriend (and sometimes my brother/friends would join in) and those are some of my fondest gaming memories ever. The co-op in these games is outstanding.
