Great. That's all we need for this year. More bad news. I wouldn't be surprised if the higher-ups at Ubisoft had something to do with this as usual. With no BG&E2, I have fears that Rayman also got his disembodied foot in the grave. AGAIN.
Rayman isnt magically going to die off after Origins and legends.

no reason to be so overly doom and gloom guys. We still have the anniversary. Rayman isnt going anywhere anytime soon.

Can I just say I'm not nearly as upset about this whole thing as I was last night?

I don't know, I guess it was just a heat of the moment sort of thing. I'm willing to remain optimistic about what happens next. Even if the chances seem slim.

Don't be too sure about it, mate. It's happened before to others, namely Crash Bandicoot, and we were lucky that Rayman was brought back in 2010. But with Mr. Ancel now working on his own game for his indie studio, it's likely he may not be working on a new Rayman any time soon. We haven't even been told what the anniversary is going to be about, if ever.

Super Mario looks like it's going to have an amazing anniversary.
At least it's better than his last anniversary with him having a SNES compilation game on a disc, that I can tell you.

I'm sorry for sounding so negative recently. I really do want the best for Rayman, but I'm also preparing myself for the worst.

Well, he didn't work in Rayman 3, so this isn't a problem.

This, plus pretending that Super Mario Land never happened in the last anniversary. At least they fully acknowledged it this time on the 30th anniversary website this time around.

I don't want a new Rayman this year.

I don't want them to rush it and have it turn out like garbage.
I was thinking that before, better to get nothing, instead of getting a game that is poorly made, just like it happened to Metroid (And Nintendo is already recieving a petition to get it cancelled), or in Ubisoft's case, Assassin's Creed Unity is a great example of a rushed game from their part.

My opinion exactly.

If that happened again in another game, he would be still an advisor, right?
Maybe. Though I remember him saying that had he worked on Rayman 3 directly, it would've turned out different. I wonder if the next game that if he doesn't work on it directly, will it be any good as we hope it would?

BTW, any news on his WiLD game?

Exactly, we defiantly don't want it to be like you know Sonic 06.

PS: Does anyone else think we may get another direct after this month or next month? If so I want it to be a big one because Nintendo's E3 this year left me dry amd salty.

All this "Rayman should get into Smash because it's his 20th anniversary" stuff was crap.

If Sakurai worked like that, then Pac-Man would've been announced this year as DLC.

Rayman should get into Smash because he's Rayman and it would be absolutely amazing.


Having it happen on his birthday is just cake.

Guys, I feel kind of bad. I mean yes the direct wasn't all that great here were a couple of good stuff in there but they just showed to much off of Super Mario Maker. I think most of us just wanted to see most of these franchises to get revived like StarFox and Metroid. We wanted little to no Mario besides a spinoff or an HD remake.While the usual suspects like Pokemon, Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda and Fire Emblem would help carry the show.

We had too much expectations and they weren't met. I have to wonder how the higher ups are really taking all the backlash for this year for not having a big wow factor game besides StarFox. They apologized through Twitter for one thing and they didn't have to do that.

You know, with all of this talk, I've gotten over of it for now. I'm still a little miffed that Ubisoft didn't announced anything Rayman related. But even if they did, it probably wouldn't be enough to save this E3.

Still, I'll just wait until Ubisoft makes a real honest announcement regarding Rayman. I don't care if the game won't be available until a year or two from now. All I want is a clear confirmation that they're working on a Rayman game, and that'll be good enough for me.

Something to keep in mind is that E3 still has a day left. It's possible that we could still get a few new announcements.

while this means nothing it's kinda weird how they push GamesCOM and then put a winky face....

Gamescom, huh? Well, let's just hope that they have better announcements than what we got for E3 overall.

And if we don't.. well..
One thing that I was disappointed with Nintendo aside from the lack of new titles is that they didn't do a Muppet Show styled opening theme with a bunch of other Nintendo Muppets. Plus, no Waldorf and Statler to heckle on them in between. :(

If Rayman does get in and gets his own stage, I want this song to get in. I'm sure it's unlikely seeing as this is based on a real song, but still, wouldn't that be cool? :)
Also, this is probably just me, but seeing as how Ubisoft sent Sakurai an actual 3D model of Rayman made by themselves, do you think Rayman is secretly DLC, and he'll be revealed for that Gamescon thing? Maybe they're making a stage? I'm probably crazy for thinking that, but seeing as Ryu got a stage and was let in, I'll believe anything at this point. :p

I can't see it. What is it supposed to be?
It says there's an "Unnanounced Ubisoft game" to be shown off on Gamespot tomorrow. I checked their site just to make sure and there is indeed a slot for that.

It's nice to see companies respond to comments like this. Iwata actually recently said he would take the disappointing reception of their conference this year into consideration when making their next conference.

Right next to Tricky Treasure, this would be perfect for a reveal trailer.

At this rate, the new Rayman will probably be a launch title for the NX.
I heard Nintendo is shifting the next Metroid to the NX.
Do you guys think the next Rayman will release on the Wii U?
