A few years later, I would get a Wii for (I think?) Christmas. I was overjoyed, mainly because of the fact that I could now play games like New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, and [[Rayman Origins]] on this. Out of the [[Rayman (series)|Rayman]] and [[Rabbids (series)|Rabbids]] games, I got [[Rayman Origins]], [[Rayman Raving Rabbids 2]], and [[Rabbids Go Home]] (I didn't bother getting [[Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party]] because of [[Rayman]]'s lack of appearances and playability in it. To this day, I still can't bring myself to call it a Rayman game).

A few more years later, I would get a Nintendo Switch, the console I had waited pretty much all of my life to get. For some reason, they currently only have one [[Rayman (series)|Rayman]] game on the Switch, but it quickly became my favorite: [[Rayman Legends#Nintendo Switch (Rayman Legends Definitive Edition)|Rayman Legends Definitive Edition]].

I had wanted the game for years leading up to this, and my excitement was not in vain; this game was epic! From its stupendous soundtrack to its gorgeous graphics and challenging levels, everything about it was outstanding. For once, Ubisoft outdid themselves.
 
Then came the years of darkness.
Even though I had gotten [[Rayman Legends#Nintendo Switch (Rayman Legends Definitive Edition)|Rayman Legends Definitive Edition]] about five years after its release, I still felt that [[Rayman]] had a bright future ahead of him.
Unfortunately, I was wrong.
Very wrong.
For years, the only thing we'd hear from [[Rayman (series)|the franchise]] was a cameo, a new mobile game [[Rayman Adventures|here]] or [[Rayman Mini|there]], but no real news. [[Rayman]] felt dead, and it didn't seem like he'd be coming back anytime soon.
 
But then, [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope|IT]] happened.
A teaser during Ubisoft Forward 2022 had revealed that after years of absence, [[Rayman]] would return in a new DLC for [[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]] (which, along with [[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]], is the only [[Rabbids (series)|Rabbids]] game I have on the Switch right now). I was overjoyed, as I know the rest of the community was. The following year's Ubisoft Forward game us some more footage of the DLC, and of [[Rayman]]'s new design. In-game, it was... interesting, to say the least. As of writing this (July 13, 2023), the DLC still hasn't released yet, but my anticipation is through the roof. I cannot wait to play this, and hopefully, this is just the beginning of [[Rayman]]'s revival.
