Official sources like interviews.

I believe so.

I can't remember the specific interview that said that but you can try to read the posts of this topic, or to google for them. It is already a lot of interviews that passed.

It's pretty early in the interview, around 2 minutes in.

By the way, when and by whom were Globox's origins revealed?

I think it was an interview as well, but I'm not really sure.

But they will have to affect the game in some way, because this game is supposed to be accessible to everyone, not only Rayman fans. It has to be a quest or something.

Edit: I never thought about it, and I guess someone already pointed that out, but it's interesting that Rayman loses the secondary function of his hair (as a fan) between RO and R1 and never gains it back.

In the only interview with the game’s lead programmer, whose name I have forgotten.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

Not really. It’s just one aspect of one gameplay mechanic, and those are always changed between games. Look to the theft of the Great Protoon if you really want an explanation, or simply say to yourself that Rayman retains the ability in the later games but does not make use of it.

It reminds me that in Rayman 3, Rayman uses his hair as a fan to swim faster in the Land of the Livid Dead. Who knows if the idea is taken off from here, or just coicidencial?

By the way, the official UK Ubisoft website says that it was the Fairy Council invoking Rayman: http://www.ubi.com/UK/Games/Info.aspx?pId=10014

I always loved how Rayman swam in Rayman 3.

So now with 3DS version officially confirmed to be released later than other ones, is anybody waiting? (I still wonder whether to buy or not to buy a 3DS or maybe a discounted 360... guess it's easiest to not buy ANYTHING.)

I'm interested too in the 3DS version, but I'm going to give priority to the Wii version. The earlier I get the Wii version, the merrier.

Something great about Origins is the gorgeous graphics, so I fail to see why someone would rather play it on the Wii or the 3DS, unless they really can't afford a PS3 or a 360.

Yeah, that was exactly what I was thinking about but I only have a Wii and don't plan to buy a PS3 or a 360. I guess I'll have to try Origins at my friend's.

What's wrong with the Wii?
