Review Rayman (3DS eShop / GBC)
Rayman, fighter of the Night Man
In 1995, the platformer Rayman was released to great critical acclaim on the PlayStation. It was the first entry in a hugely successful franchise that also spawned an entirely separate sub-franchise along the way. Rayman had charm, class and above all a tremendous sense of fun. Five years later, the game was still...

I want this! Just because I don't have room for the DSiWare version.. it's on my SD card..
This was my first videogame ever.. Oh nostalgia..
Is this 100% identical with this dsi ware Rayman game? If so this is kind of pointless
@Fabian I believe the plot is from Rayman 1, while most of the levels are remakes of Rayman 2 levels. There is also a few new ones thrown in.
@TheDreamingHawk Cool if so I may give it a try when it´s out thanks
Is GBC Rayman 2 much better?
@Bass_X0
If I recall right, I think they made Rayman 2 the same way as how they made the N64 and PS1 versions. All in all, I can't wait to download Rayman for the 3DS VC as I never played it before when it came out on GAME BOY COLOR.
I hope to get this today. Never played a rayman game before, so I can't wait!
Got it.. already having soooo much fun with it.. Best VC game I bought yet, including the ambassador's..
Really re-living my early childhood now..
it is AWESOME!
