IIRC, you can download Dsiware games on a 3ds. Therefore, you can download the first Rayman for $8.

It's a decent port, but you'd save money by buying an older version.

Whatever you do, don't play the original DS version, it's terrible.
Older. Not wiser.

Best <--------> Worst

Rayman:
Saturn > Jaguar > DSi > PC > PlayStation > GBA > GBC

Rayman 2:
Dreamcast > N64 > PC > 3DS > PS2 > PlayStation > GBC > iOS > DS

Rayman 3:
Gamecube > Xbox > PS2 > PC
Fixed some stuff, added some new versions in. I HATE Rayman 2 on PS2. They changed a bunch of stuff, all for the worse.

I wonder how Rayman 2 PC measures up to the Dreamcast version though? I'd imagine they might be neck and neck, best resolutions on both and all (and hopefully you can play 2 on the PC with a controller?), it's kind of tempting...
The PC version is the same as the N64 version, but with high resolutions.

Hey Boring supreez,

you say "Fixed some stuff, added some new versions in. I HATE Rayman 2 on PS2. They changed a bunch of stuff, all for the worse"..

can you please elaborate on that? right now the PS2 sounds like the best version to me.

Poopy frame rate on the PS2 version, which is sort of puzzling, they jacked up the music if I remember correctly. They also enhanced some of the scenery, imo for the worse. The DC version is far superior.

Sounds like Grandia 2, and many other cases. Haha... it seems like if the game was on the DC originally or whatnot, that's the version to go with in a lot of cases.

You know if it easily supports widescreen? I definitely might consider playing it that way.
