What signs are in Rayman's favor over Crash exactly? Please enlightened me.
- Rayman already had a trophy in Smash 4, Ubisoft was even willing to go as far and provide a 3D model for it.
- Ubisoft already has content in Ultimate in the form of spirits and just recently costumes for both Rabbids and Assassin's Creed.
- Nintendo and Ubisoft's strong partnership has led to them collaborate not just with Mario, But Donkey Kong and Star Fox too.
- Apparently there has been rumors recently of Rayman regarding Copyright and an Ubisoft A.I assistant or something that may be in the know of Rayman's inclusion in Smash.
Maybe Nintendo just wants us to think he's coming, But seeing all this makes me think it"s only a matter of time.
While Crash Bandicoot is the bigger icon overall, Nothing as of lately shows Nintendo working with Activision as closely Ubisoft, Now that doesn't mean Crash Bandicoot isn't more likely, But I would imagine Rayman would be much easier and cheaper to negotiate than Crash as we don't know if or how much Activision is willing to play ball,
Activision wouldn't play ball with Sony regarding "Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale" and that's when Crash Bandicoot was a dead, washed up franchise, Now that the IP is revitalized and valuable, I wonder what it would take to licensed it out to Nintendo?
That being said I still think Crash Bandicoot is more likely than your average 3rd party character.
