Rayman Pirate-Community

So that's why I was wondering why there was a little extension port underside my N64, last century.

It’s been a month and a half and there’s still no sign of a translation. Are French-speakers really that scarce around here these days?

What is it to be translated?

I'm more wanting it to be translated to see if the actual article refers to this Jimmy crap in Hereitscool or we can rest that as not substantial fact.

If the article doesn't mention it, I'm going to say it's safe to say it was just something the Jaguar magazine made up so they could have a blurb to go with the screenshots.

They are the Gizmondo(Unheard console was a failure), the Sega 32X(add-on to Sega Genesis/Master System), the Virtual Boy(Nintendo's fist failure), and the SNES. So oringinally, we were going to have 8 ports of Rayman 1. Then up until now we were going to have 18 ports of Rayman instead of 14.

I'm pretty sure all of this is rumor. Unless you hear straight from some horse's mouth, take things you read online with a grain of salt. If there were some long lost Virtual Boy game in development, you can be sure there'd be some Nintendo freaks on it. Everything about the Virtual Boy's short run is pretty much known now.

I'm not even sure why you brought up Gizmondo, since even if there was some Rayman port in development at some point, it was never planned in the 90s with the original Rayman team as Gizmondo was released 2004/05.

I can tell you now that it is mentioned as the original story in this article. There's a whole sidebar on it.
I have the article half-translated, but due to my non-Frenchyness I am loathe to continue... if no French member appears to be doing anything though I might do the rest of it, but...

I also ask the same question "Does any French can be really kind for all of us to translate the PixNLove pages?": I would love to read the article.

I translated this part already:

And as I said:

Wow, I just found this, really nice, it's also neat to hear thatthere are plans for a 3D game, I'm for 2D and such, I just don't like 3D stuff that much as you may noticed already, but that would be relief after the whole Rabbids misery back from 2005. A little bit is allready there by origins.

So please, give us the scan and the translationm we are sitting on needles.

Guess I missed your post on the translation, Hunchman, thank you for doing so. I guess I stand corrected on the Jimmy back story stuff. I am glad it was scrapped either way. It sounds like something straight out of an 80s cartoon.

Who ever knew that Rayman was originally going to be released on the SNES?! Seriously, this is huge!

(Unless it's fake, which I doubt.)

"Long before the Jaguar and PlayStation versions, Michel Ancel and his team were working on Rayman for the SNES. Even if it was in advanced development, the game was stopped in favor of the CD support. As exclusives, here are a few pictures from this aborted version."

Oh, and I love the beta Skops.

This is NOT fake

There is no translation still...
