Xbox 360 Rayman hints at Rabbid return

by Alexander Sliwinski { May 5th 2007 at 1:00AM }

Rayman's adventure with the raving Rabbids may return rapidly to consoles. In a book packaged with the Xbox 360 of Rayman: Raving Rabbids there is a photo that says "The End?" A sequel for Rayman shouldn't be unexpected considering the game did well in sales and the Wii version was the non-Zelda title people purchased with their system.

The pessimistic gamer would say that because the teaser photo (found after the break) was in the Xbox 360 version, and none of the others, that it will be an Xbox 360 exclusive. We don't care what system it's for as long as the Rabbids and Rayman are in a classic platformer this time around instead of a collection of mini-games. Please, no more high-profile mini-game based titles for the Wii. It's time to get the Rabbids in an action platformer where they can show off their zaniness and become the stars we know they are. The new mantra should be: Rabbids don't do mini-games, but they do dance!

You have opened the floodgates now. Might get the sequel if it comes to Wii.

The HD gaming machine is getting a Wii port?
So much for that future of gaming

They should make an Ape Escape clone with them. It would work incredibly well on the Wii.

Boo! Stop with the minigame hate! We've had enough Rayman platformers, and the Raving Rabbids sequel needs to be true to the original version. Raving Rabbids is the only Rayman game I enjoyed and played through to end. If you want a Raving Rabbids platform game, get the GBA version. Don't go spoiling the minigame fun for the rest of us!

@Earl.

What'd you expect from Ubisoft.
Play on the strength of the Wii. Does well on that machine let's slap it on every console out there to make a quick buck.

Anyways, Pray to god it be a platformer and not a mini game. Seriously, The Wii is capable of more than one genre. but then again, capable doesn't mean it'll be good lol.

The fact that the hint to a sequel shows up in the 360 version might stem from the fact that they now know how popular the game is and they can anticipate making a sequel, whereas before for all they knew the game could have flopped. It would be fun to see them in a non puzzle game.

Knew it was coming. From what we saw, the developers put far, far too much work into the full-on platform/adventure game RRR was going to be for them to have completely abandoned it.

For some reason, I have this unshakable feeling that the next game is going to be called "Rayman: Rabbid Rampage". It just seems to make sense to me.

Of course, I'm also convinced that Sega's going to re-enter the console market in 2010 and call their new system the "Dreamwave," so take my words with a grain of salt.
