Sega wasn't Paid or paid for let Sonic be in Brawl/Sm4sh .
It's Actually a deal w/ Nintendo .
Nintendo can have Sonic for Smash . Sega make the Olympic game w/ Mario . And a Sonic exclusive game ( Lost World ) for the Nintendo Console while it's Nintendo who do the Marketing.
Nintendo make advertisment for Sonic and have a Super-star Guest for Smash , Sega make Advertisment for Mario in the Olympic game . And Nintendo have a exclusif game for his not-well sold Console the Wii-U .
Everybody is happy .
Why it coudn't be the same with Ubisoft ?
Well , it was almost the Same . Origins (or Legend in don't know , don't remember ) was planned Wii U exclusif ... And who know ? Maybe there was a deal , or a begining of discution about RayMan in Smash ...but Because Ubisoft break the deal they had with Nintendo .Thanks to the investissor who wanted multiplatform game for free money ...Is sad to know that even Ancel wasn't OK with the multiplaform , Ancel always was a Nintendo fan . They maybe let go the only chance Rayman have to be in Smash ... Thanks Ubisoft . Now go make your "super-next gen Assasins Creed 6575'' with a day-one patch of 14 GB . Don't forget to gave us our ''super casual and for the family ****y party-game ''
