Shots look nice.

There's gonna be no shortage of mini-games on the Wii, is there?

Looks interesting and I really like the way how stupid all the creatures look (and the caption "'Two Bacardi Breezers and a pack of them fancy crisps what are a bit like Kettle Chips please'").

Too bad there are too many good release games out to buy them all.

Ah the good old days of Bishi Bashi Special...

I'm quite interested in how these mini-game compilations are going to turn out. Considering the fact i'm already getting Monkey Ball...it's between this and Wario Ware. But then wasn't the new Sonic game going to have 40 mini-games as well?

I hope when you come to review these mini-game games you'll put them in a battle royale against each other so it's easier to decide which to buy, rather than just highlighting the individual's strengths and weaknesses.
Only the strongest survive...

This game is bizarre but strangely I'm interested.

Anything that lets you pee orange juice all over a bunch of angry rabbits can't be all bad can it?

I'm a bit confused, and maybe a little disappointed unless I've missed something...

From the initial announcement:

'Called Rayman Raving Rabbids, it's set to launch this Christmas and sees Rayman taking on an invasion of crazed bunnies, each with their own mischievous characteristics, as he makes his platforming way around various free-roaming environments.

Rayman will be able to tame and control various creatures including sharks, eagles, rhinos, spiders and angelfish as he goes about his mission, while the player will also be able to customise and disguise the limbless wonder in punk, pop, rock, hip hop and other outfits to outwit the bunnies.'

The above sounds like a free roaming platformer, but the preview sounds like an advanced Wario Ware/Mario Party title of minigames.

Which is it?

looking forward to this, the minigames seem a bit more substantial than warioware (not that the 3-5 second style games are a bad thing)

however...

"In another game, you have to shake the remote up and down as fast as you can to milk a cow"

as if having a vibrating phallic controller wasnt bad enough...

I saw interview with Ubisoft about this game a while back, and I think they said that the Wii version would have lots of mini-games to fully use the controller, but the other versions would concentrate more on the platforming gameplay.

L0cky - since poor ole ellie got given it to review, on past form I suspect the latter.

the good news is that the deal is if she spent the last year reviewing the slightly shonky party games, she gets GOW when it comes out. That's what I heard, anyway.

Actually, Ellie's now the Editor of Gamesindustry.biz, so is semi 'retired' from reviewing. But she loves a press trip, so you'll see quite a few previews like this from Ms Gibson!

Sounds sweet, but I'd much prefer another Rayman platformer. Hope the other versions will really be focused on that.

No to Rayman! I have to agree with earlier poster in that I've never really liked the character and can only wish that the game was about a bunny who was sticking it to loads of Raymen...

Seeing those screenshots,and shots from games like Zelda and Red Steel,my initial doubts and slight concerns of the Wii being a lil too underpowered in the graphics department are fading away rapidly.Sure the games will never look as nice as the big titles on the 360 and PS3,and the price obviously reflects that,but the stylised look of most of the Wii games combined with the innovative control method are making me want one on launch more and more as of late,whereas I was planning on waiting 6 months.
November and December are getting increasingly expensive dammit!

When Nintendo sort out the Wii - DS link up, they should rerelease the Rayman GC - GBA link up game. The player on the GBA creates a track tetris style, the player on the GC races along it. Brillant fun.

If the non Wii version is close to Rayman 2 or even equal to Rayman 3 I'll probably buy it. I really enjoyed 2, 3 wasn't so good but one of the more enjoyable platformers I've played in the last few years.

I'd find it plausible that the other versions might focus more on traditional gameplay, what else could they do, lacking the means of making the mini games fun? Think of DDR with a traditional joypad instead of the dance pad.

I was sorta looking forward to the free-roaming platformer. :\

Let's hope it's just a combination of the two.

"Having only played the Wii version, it's hard to tell how well the game will work on other consoles with traditional controllers."

I thought this game was exclusive to the Wii?...
