Other than this rating from the German classification board, which says the game is “Jump ‘n Run,” we’ll have to wait for more details. I’d be happy if this plays more like the old Rayman games, though.
Thanks to Robert for the news tip!

Nintendo calls Nikkei DSi article “speculative”
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment
“Our company isn’t doing any interviews [about this]. We think it’s a speculative article.” – Nintendo statement
