Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 4th November 2004
The DS is two weeks away and Rayman is launching with it, yet we still haven't been told what it's going to be like. All we got was a doctored screenshot (that used an n64 screenshot). I don't get it.

Maybe it'll be delayed to December or something?
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 4th November 2004
It's going to be so awesome that if you saw what it was going to be like before you played it you'd have a heart attack.
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 4th November 2004
I bet that's what Ubisoft wants us to believe!
And I doubt it'll get delayed. Not many games game delayed two weeks before they're supposed to come out.
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 4th November 2004
True... but who knows?
Anyway, if it's just Rayman 2 and not a new game I won't be too interested because I have that game already...
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 5th November 2004
I thought you weren't getting a DS anyhow...
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 5th November 2004
Sure, but aren't I allowed to say 'which games would I rather get if I could get one'?
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 6th November 2004
No.

It's called a wishlist and you've all made them before too.
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 7th November 2004
Yeah but for games I plan on getting...
Otherwise I'd try not to think of them. That's why I don't make wishlists for rare 70's hotrods.
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 7th November 2004
I routinely make lists of games I want with dozens of games on it when I know I'll be getting just a couple...
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 7th November 2004
That's just sad.
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 7th November 2004
Nah, making lists is fun.
And by 'routinely' I don't mean all the time or something, but when I make a list... often around christmas or my birthday... but sometimes other times too. :)
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 8th November 2004
I bet you leave your lists lying around your parent's house, right? Hoping that they'll take note of them.
Mr. Falcon (that's ABF's dad): Hey what's this honey? *picks up list*
Mrs. Falcon (ABF's mom): ... Yeesh, another stupid list that Brian left us, hoping that we'll buy this stuff for him.
Mr. Falcon: *reads list* ... Paper Mario... a Nintendo DS...a magical pony... awesome hair--what the hell?
Mrs. Falcon: Yeah...
Mr. Falcon: And it says in parentices "like Pete Rose". What the hell is wrong with this kid?
Mrs. Falcon: If only I knew, dear. If only I knew.
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 8th November 2004
Funny, but not too accurate. :)
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 8th November 2004
Haha, I bet it is!
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 8th November 2004
Mr. Falcon: Hmm...there's another list over here. This one's kind of weird though...
Mrs. Falcon: What does it say?
Mr. Falcon: It says: OB1...Great Rumbler...Weltall...that kid that called me stupid in sixth grade...umm...and there's some pictures.
Mrs. Falcon: Of what?
Mr. Falcon: There's a gun and a knife and a monster truck that's covered in spikes...oh and there's a tiny bottle that has a skull on the front of it.
Mrs. Falcon: ...
Mr. Falcon: ...
ABF: *comes through the front door*
Mr. Falcon: Son,...there's something that your mother and I need to talk to you about...
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 8th November 2004
Hahaha, and the saga continues!
You should make comics! Of this.
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 8th November 2004
That was just stupid...
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 8th November 2004
Pfft, you're only saying that because it was about you.
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 8th November 2004
He's not laughing because he knows it's true!! ADMIT IT!!! You're really an evil guy who...who...EATS CORN!!
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 8th November 2004
Corn? Who here would be guilty of such a heinous crime as eating corn? It's not me I say!
(here's the part where you walk away whistling innocently, except that I can't whistle...)
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 8th November 2004
He's got the corn! Get him!!
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 8th November 2004
Run!
*tosses corn cob in GR's (conveniently open) backpack as he passes by*
No, you have the corn!
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 9th November 2004
*bounces corn of the wall* *corn flies into ABF's mouth because he was laughing as he ran away* Eat THAT!
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 9th November 2004
*laughs at ABF's inability to whistle*
*whistles after he's done laughing*
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 9th November 2004
*throws corn cob at OB1*
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 9th November 2004
*corn cob turns into a giant robot and begins shooting lasers at everyone*
Isn't that just WEIRD?
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 9th November 2004
Nope!
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 9th November 2004
I know!
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 9th November 2004
You know what is weird?
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 23rd November 2004
Wow, Ubi Soft has finally decided to release some screenshots of Rayman DS! Only three weeks before release, how awesome of them!

Well it looks like a Rayman 2 port, which is fine by me. I'd prefer an all-new game but I'll settle for an enhanced port (don't know if that will be the case tho). I like how they made the touch screen analog part large and stuck in one place. That might be a big improvement over Mario 64's touch screen controls.
The game looks more like the PSX version than the N64 one, but hopefully it'll look better in motion. Mario 64 certainly does.
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 24th November 2004
One of the first GBA games, remember, was a Rayman 1 port, so I'm not too surprised to see a Rayman 2 port once there's a capable handheld... Ubisoft releases the Rayman games on every possible platform so it was pretty much inevitable. If I didn't already have Rayman 2 I'd be excited, but I do have Rayman 2. I wouldn't want to buy it again despite the fact that it's definitely one of my favorite 3d platformers ever.
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 24th November 2004
Rayman GBA was an original Rayman game.
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 24th November 2004
No, the first Rayman GBA game was a port of Rayman 1. I almost definitely remember reading so in the reviews....
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 26th November 2004
I'm pretty sure it was an original game.
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 27th November 2004
Nope.

Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 29th November 2004
Huh. Well wasn't there some problem with the screen getting cut off or too much zoom? Made it cheap tough.
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 29th November 2004
Yes, that is true. Given that it's a port of a game designed for TVs and computer monitors, it like many other games had issues with screen size... I haven't played Rayman Advance, but I have Rayman for PC and I can imagine how frusterating that game would be if you only could see a relatively small portion of the screen... like with all major console ports on the GB, they need to do something about the screen. Here they just have it scroll and it'd make the game harder for sure, as well as more frusterating.

GEE I'M SO FUCKING SURPRISED BY THIS NEWS.
Stupid Ubisoft... you're not supposed to delay a game FOUR DAYS before its announced release date, morons!!!
Hey what's the deal? - Great Rumbler - 7th December 2004
They delayed Rayman 4 days before it was supposed to be released? Hahaha, that's dumb.
Hey what's the deal? - OB1 - 7th December 2004
I know...
Hey what's the deal? - A Black Falcon - 7th December 2004
It's not Rayman 4, we think, GR... but other than that, yeah, this doesn't surprise me what with how little we'd been hearing about the game.
