Make sure to also check out the official website for the game, which is said to contain a new video.

Rayman will return…One day

Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

“Not a day goes by without somebody asking us for a new Rayman game… He’ll be back for more imaginative and fantastic adventures of his own before you know it, but not in RGH, which takes place among Humans… But rest assured that the Rabbids and Rayman are still B.E.F. (Best Enemies Forever). They’ll no doubt meet again.” – Go Home’s creative director, Jacques Exertier

Though I personally believe it was a smart move to leave Rayman out of Rabbids Go Home, I would like to see the character return at some point in the future. Rayman has given us some fantastic games, after all.

Ubisoft comments on Red Steel 2 trailer

Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

Ubisoft has finally commented on the first Red Steel 2 trailer. As can be noticed in the video, it was never supposed to make it out to the public. The trailer was for “internal use only.” Ubisoft has also said that the video is a pre-production trailer. So what Wii owners will see in the final product could end up being a bit different. Since the company was not willing to comment on any specifics of the trailer, fans will probably have to wait until E3 for more information.
