      Rayman, the original, was actually initially being developed for the Super NES.

      Later, versions of the original Rayman would be released on Gameboy.

      Rayman was also on the Sony Playstation, which itself also has a history with Nintendo as it was originally being developed as the Nintendo Playstation.

      So, Nintendo literally has an actual long history with Rayman. What’s next, they should drop Sonic the Hedgehog, too?

        Gee idk are they still developing excite bike or any other number of old games?

        It’s obviously not that popular if people just aren’t buying it. Why Nintendo continues to pour into those game when abominations like Pokémon are still as bad as they’ve always been if not worse on next gen consoles.

        You’re entitled to like what you want and that fine, I just don’t get why Nintendo won’t let it go

          None of these properties you’re talking about are made by Nintendo. Except xcite bike, and they have made new games in that series. Where in the world did you get Rayman of all things being Nintendo?

          You’re rambling to the wall.

            I wasn’t aware this was an Ubisoft game, I just saw Mario + rabbids and made a stupid assumption. Appreciate the info

        I think they would be foolish to let the property go. IMO recent 2D Rayman games have been borderline classics but even if you don’t like them then there is business logic in keeping a mascot alive; see Sonic and Sega.
