Thanks guys.
I hope it sells more than 10 copies.
Platformers are indeed popular here, but I'm not sure how much the Japanese like (or even know) Rayman.
The low price might help.

Congratulations! Wonder if they are skipping Wii and going to the WiiU to keep the game pretty.

Anyway, enjoy!



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Maybe, but I think they're skipping Nintendo's home consoles all together.

Thanks to region locking I thought I'd never be able to get Rayman Origins on the 3DS, but today I found out that the game will indeed be released in Japan after all.

It will come for the 3DS, PS Vita and PS3. And because it's UBI's 25th anniversary the game will cost the record-low price of 2500 Yen ($32) on each platform! Usually new games cost double that!

I'm actually toying with the idea of buying it twice (3DS and PS3) to show my appreciation for that step.

You just found out about it? Famitsu had posted about it well over 2 weeks ago, which is when I found out about it.

I'm picking it up for the 3DS myself. I'd considered getting it for the 360, but since they aren't releasing that version here...

If you order from Amazon JP you can get it for 2,036 yen, 19% off (all 3 versions are that price).

I usually don't read Famitsu, so...

The 3DS version disappeared from Ubisoft's homepage. :/
Now it only mentions PS3 and PSVita as platforms.
That sucks.

Why in the world...?? Ubisoft?!

Wow, that sucks. I guess I'm not getting the game then. I wanted the 3DS one I wonder what happened? The 3DS version has already been released overseas, so I don't know what the problem would be?

Sony Moneyhat? ;-p

I'm not sure...
I was so looking forward to that game. If the 3DS was region free there wouldn't be any problem, but as it stands, I won't buy it. :(

What a relief.

Do you hate me, Rayman or UBI?

Rayman is just greatly overrated. Ubisoft deserves hate though.

Okay. Then I'm somewhat relieved.

I never had anything against Ubisoft... until today. Now I hate them, too.
