Now THAT's what I'm talkin about; shame the 3DS is region blocked!

Are you serious :shock:

?

That never happened before in the portable consoles of Nintendo.

Why this wasn't used on the PAL cover? :tssk:

I'm afraid so, and that just takes the piss because there are bound to be *some* games that won't come out in Europe, Australia etc; all the more reason for it to be hacked and I really hope someone does just that, or at least finds a workaround.

DSi enhanced games such as Rabbids Go Home are region blocked as well.

Hey, new Rayman artwork. Looks like they took the PC cover, then made Rayman more cartoony and everything else more realistic. Strange and not very effective.

RayLums · Jan 31, 2011

That's a pretty cover indeed. Acording this Rayman 3D will be released on 25 march. :wink:

I find this cover awful.

RayLums · Jan 31, 2011

In this cover, Rayman is ugly, okay. But it's cool to compare this with the original cover.

I find the hair colour too much orange, and the hair pattern is inverted.

Despite of that I like everything else in the USA cover.

3D mode for ages 7+? Why?

And yeah, that cover is pretty terrible. Which reminds me...

Notice how in this one, Jade looks more cartoony then Pey'j. :confus:

You mean too GINGER

Oh that's because apparently having the 3D mode on for too long can cause damage to the eyes of kids under 6...

Studies reveal that it is not recommended for children with less than 7 years old to watch 3D content, since their sight isn't completely developed.

Legal reasons. Supposedly it has an effect on children’s eyesight (but not really).

I love the way European box art is almost always better than American box art.

El Dango · Jan 31, 2011

It's probably going to damage everybody's eyesight anyway, but nobody is going to care.

spiraldoor · Jan 31, 2011

No, that’s just Luddite scaremongering. Nobody’s eyes are going to be melted by the scary new technology.

El Dango · Jan 31, 2011

Alright then, but if it steals my soul, I'm gonna have someone's ass! :mefiant:

Oh god guys, have you seen already the USA version of Rayman 3D's cover?

Lucky Americans.

Haha, while that cover is ugly for having off model Rayman, I am delighted that Ubisoft actually paid someone to make a new damn cover for once. This is way more interesting than seeing the same Rayman 2 promotional artwork from 1998 continuously bastardized for rereleases a decade later.

Adsolution · Feb 1, 2011

I kind of like it, but I think the expression is a little too askew.

AJack · Feb 1, 2011

That is a mighty strange cover. Is Rayman's deformed cousin playable in Rayman 3d?

The only objection I have about the cover is the hair colour and the wrong hair pattern. The rest is ok for me.

But of course, I would love to see this one:

Why are people all about the "wrong hair pattern?" The only time you ever see the two-split on the right side is in-game in the original second game. In all other places including Arena/M, cover art, and the animated series, it's the other way.
