Talkback

It is worth noting that there is already a version of Rayman on DSiware that looks much better than the GBC version.

If I recall correctly, it doesn't transfer to 3DS, though.


EDIT: Nevermind. I'm wrong. I think I just didn't really care to transfer it over when I did my transfer.

Plus, we lucky Europeans also got Mega Man X 2. First time playing it and I'm lovin' it. It's perhaps one of the best looking SNES games I've ever played.
