Surprise! Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition Arrives On Switch This Week

Cool this exists, happy for the preservation, but Ubisoft still sucks and I'm not giving them a dime. If you want a modern way to play the original game, just play Rayman Redemption.

Ha good timing. Hard pass, Ubisoft.

Sucks that there aren't more games, mainly just variations of the first game. This would have been a great opportunity to include the neglected Learn With Rayman games. Would have preferred those finished games over a prototype.

In any case, I'll consider this if a physical release materialises. The digital price will probably be too absurd to justify an impulse download.

Man, Ubisoft is an absolutely awful company. I don't think I could ever support them-- did someone say Rayman!?

I'm genuinely impressed that everything I was hoping for seems to actually be included???

Jaguar version, MS-DOS version, and including all the Gold and Forever levels too? And the GBC game thrown in for good measure? AND a never-before-released SNES prototype too??
Genuinely amazing collection.

...
I suppose the only thing that isn't here is the level editor that came with Rayman Designer....
but that thing was kind of jank anyway - you had to design the terrain in a completely separate Windows application, by copy+pasting tiles from a preset tileset graphic sheet. And then in order to populate the levels with objects and enemies, you had to launch the game and add them from an in-game debug tool. And if the terrain needed adjusting again, you had to quit the game, and relaunch the tileset editor program thing.... Not surprised they didn't bother including this.

anyway. I'm definitely getting this. I hope it runs well, and I hope Ubisoft doesn't try to make me sign up for an account when I press start on the title screen or some other unnecessary rubbish like that.

@SillyG I'd argue the SNES prototype is cooler than the learning games, but I guess it would've been kinda neat if those were included too. I mean, this does include the MS-DOS version.

Also, the price is confirmed to be $19.99. Take that as you will.

Yep, I'm here for it

Yes Ubisoft are awful and give Scrooge a run for their money as to how greedy they are.

But also annoying are grown adults who can't separate the art from the artist.

This collection actually looks pretty solid to me. I can definitely see myself playing this game sometime this year to be honest!

No PS4 version. Maybe an update to include it.

@Viator_ : The price is what I expected it to be on the conservative side (though I wouldn't have put it past Ubi to high-ball it either).

I'll still hold out for a physical release, otherwise, I might just download the PC release.

On the one hand, support new Rayman games if sales are good.

On the other hand, giving money to Ubisoft.

Maybe wait till it's $5 to balance it out.

Absolutely excited for this one!

I have my original copies of Rayman on PC and Gameboy Advance. One of my absolute favourite 2D side scrollers. I haven’t played it in at least 20 years and I still remember that level with the pencils and erasers like yesterday.

@Dee123 In this instance I think it's more of a problem with the benefactor (Ubisoft) than the artist (Michel Ancel and the devs).
