I thinks it's time to admit that Rayman might have won the battle, but the Rabbids won the war

Meanwhile, Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper languish as distant memories

The Rabbids game for the Wii was actually a fantastic party game for one or two afternoons of fun with family or drunken friends.
They just didn't have to shove Rayman in there at all. The game would've sold the same, and Rayman fans wouldn't be mad.

But there IS a new Rayman game coming. I think this is an old meme from before Crash 5 got cancelled?

I've been playing Rayman on my Miyoo Mini, it's been a great throwback!

While true and sad, I did just learn about OpenGOAL. The team has created a new engine to run the original code of Jak1 and Jak2 (working on 3), so you can now play them natively on PC! Jak1 has been working great, its a lot of fun to revisit!
No Sly Cooper remakes yet sadly, stealth games always get ignored.

It’s ok. Rayman Legends is better than any other game from the pictured IPs. Can’t improve on perfection.

MegaMan Legends.

I'd add Bubsy, but that cat did get a new game in 2017
On the other hand, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel and Awesome Possum are right there!

Rayman legends ran so Mario Wonder could flounder (specifically on the music levels).

I hold out a lot of hope that a group will start decompiling them. There's so many versions out there that it could even be a multi-pronged approach.

All I gotta say on the Spyro remaster trilogy is that I 100% support the 3rd game ( the only one my family had ) having been remastered. I don't like how the bugs in certain levels look/looked in either version because bugs can fuck off, but I was dreading a certain level where you'd find a giant gateway to that shark ( submarine? ) shooting mini game and I didn't even realize I breezed through that section. Little kid me was scared of that giant gateway because the music would stop and then I'd be face to face with a giant black void, but them deciding music should be played by those portals made it 300% less terrifying.
I have no clue how the original Crash or Rayman games compare since I only played Wrath of Cortex, Twinsanity, and Tagteam Racing for Crash ( before getting the remasters of the original trilogy ( still on game 1 ) ), and Rayman on DS and Origins on xbox360 ( before getting Legends ).
As for Ratchet & Clank, I have played all the PS2 titles ( still in the beginning of Deadlocked ), so I have a frame of reference for how it compares to the latest R&C game. So far ( only have made it past the first Rivet section because getting my controller to work while playing it on Steam Deck, is for some reason, the biggest pain in the ass no matter what I try ) it has been very fun for me. Absolutely love Rivet because 2 words: Giant Hammer! The story, so far, is also pretty good, too.
With Jak and Daxter, I 100% played through the first game but haven't touched the 2nd game since I was less than 25% done before losing my copy alongside the memory card with my save. But can say with certainly the first game is worth it and would love to see a remaster of.

The original Crash played fine, controls were very responsive, but the platforming was unforgiving. To give you an idea, the japanese version of Crash 1 is easier than the USA release, with some levels considerably shorter. Crash 2 and 3 are much easier compared to 1 (my personal favorite is 3, with all the powerups you get after beating bosses and the level variety)
Rayman 1 was similarly hard as fuck, even more so to get a 100%. Absolutely gorgeous 2D graphics that hold up even today. Rayman 2 is worth checking out if you want 3D platforming, there's lots of that. Can't talk about Rayman 3 tho, but it does look fun.

Viewtiful Joe, my beloved. Why does that game get treated like the red-headed step child? It was so good!
