Rayman: Hoodlums' Revenge

[The Jonster]

Uhh. Rayman Advance was my first Rayman game? It's nostalgia for me.

Anyways, since Master brought up a topic, I'll bring up this one too:

Why did Ubisoft bother making those like no one plays them.

Because people did play them. That’s like saying “why did they make wax cylinders if no one uses them” people once did, this was just 24/125 years ago

Exactly people just play it when it's out in 2005 because they think it's cool but then.. Meh next year it has a quarter of those players

That pretty rare jonster (or maybe not) But anyways thanks for the topic

It reminds me a lot of that Spyro game they made for GBA. So boxy and fluorescent colors.

I know it's a totally different genre, but I think Mario Kart Super Circuit looks really good and shows what GBA is capable of. Maybe there are even better examples, I never owned a GBA.

This is just an explanation of why it turns me off, I might like the game if I actually played it!

Not to be an annoying mini-mod, but you shouldn't double-post! Either say things in one sentence or just don't say it at all Also, you could also use quotes to tackle multiple messages at once

Well, it ain’t a subscription. If you bought it, you play it and they got your money. They’d rather have a huge, temporary userbase than a small, dedicated one.

Me noticing the title:

HOW DARE YOU!?

Also me after reading the title:

They're right tho, who cares about this mid game?

As for me after actually reading this topic...
Yeah... I was really interested in this game back in the days, but ever since I actually got it, I still haven't found the motivation to get past the first few levels... It just feels... boring I guess... Not bad, but... meh...
The concept of a sequel involving the Hoodlums is attractive, but the graphics and actual gameplay from the perpective of console/PC players back then... not really...

This is probably the same for all the other GBA Rayman games, Like for some reason Rayman 1 on GBA sounds so weird. It's the same with those java flip phones games like Rayman garden, Cmon who the hell grew up with Rayman garden or any other java Rayman. Why did Ubisoft bother making those like no one plays them.

Mobile was a completely new market at the time and so they were most likely testing the waters, to see where they can make a lot of money or not.
Ubi were opportunistic with any new platform that came out and that's why they always released -very often rushed- ports or cheap spin-off games whenever a new handheld came out, as can be seen with Rayman Advance, DS, DSi, iOS or 3D, or a few "recent" ports like Legends on 3DS/PS Vita or the Definitive Edition on Switch. I wouldn't be surprised if they considered making something for the PSP back in the days, aside from PS Store PS1 ports...

It reminds me a lot of that Spyro game they made for GBA. So boxy and fluorescent colors.

It was made in the same engine if I'm not mistaking... it's definitely the same isometric style at the very least.
Both the maps from Hoodlums' Revenge and the Spyro GBA games can be viewed on Ray1Map.

That's exactly how you should do it indeed, there should also be the edit button to expand/fix your post as long as no else has responded yet!
And there's nothing wrong about informing others about that even when you're not a mod, that's how I learned to avoid double posting when I first joined the RPC!

Thats because theyre made by basically the same company.

Digital Eclipse made Spyro age of ice, then as part as a merger (?), they formed another company that made Hoodlums Revenge. Or i think thats why theyre simulair
