Rayman Origins, the newest game from creator Michael Ancel, is often compared to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In our E3 preview, we called it "the best Nintendo game Nintendo will never make" and said that NSMB was "the largest inspiration for Rayman Origins' frantic multiplayer platforming action." But in a new interview with Gamasutra, Ancel calls himself "very different from Miyamoto" and explains why his philosophy is completely different than the Mario designer's.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it
Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?
Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.
This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.
Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3
I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game
I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
Ubisoft is giving away Rayman Origins for free and although it is a decade old, it is still one of the greatest classic platformer titles.
i think they should try to make a rayman 3D open world game for PS5 & Xbox Series X
Still waiting for an origins and legends successor. My wife and i were addicted to these games at the time.
I'll be curious if they make one. If they do, it won't look like they did, at least. Ubisoft retired the UbiArt framework used to make these games, apparently because the tools were too hard to work with across their many studios. Which is a bummer for sure, as I feel those games having a fairly unique aesthetic also benefitted them.
EDIT: Apparently I misremembered. They did say "hence the decision to temporarily put it aside", but they also said "it’s still there, and you will see other things using it". So it sounds like a new game could possibly still use UbiArt.
Fantastic game. Have great memories playing Origins on the Vita.
I will say though, around 2/3s of Origins' levels can actually be unlocked in the even better Rayman Legends which you can find dirt cheap these days.
Legends has so much variety and those music levels are amazing.
Says the guy whose latest platform game just sold 10 copies
(I kid, I kid. Origins is brilliant.)
I don't see anything wrong with that. I don't enjoy playing Halo (anymore) but its still popular etc etc. My opinion isn't gonna change that. So long as he doesn't go hating on it then its fine.
I'm with this guy. If you are going to make a game based on FUN...make it FUN! I'm NOT paying $60 for Origins though. No way!
U CANT SAY THAT CMON MARIO STARTED THIS GENRE......
it's his right to not like mario, but "bashing" the controls and story telling while he made rayman: origins, that has good controls, but not as good as mario's and no story what so ever. also he says he focuses on storytelling ?!?
