Mad Catz Interactive, Inc., a leading third-party interactive entertainment accessory provider, announced today that it has secured a license from Ubisoft to produce branded accessories based on the Rayman Raving Rabbids series of games. The multi-year agreement gives Mad Catz North American rights to a range of accessories for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PC, the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance and the Wii home videogame system from Nintendo.
The third issue of GamerZine's free handheld gaming magazine is out and includes reviews of Ratchet and Clank Size Matters, Final Fantasy II, Harvest Moon, Virtua Tennis 3 and loads more. There's also previews and reviews roundups on all the latest games, plus a feature on retro games compilations and mobile phone gaming.
Since (and before) the release of Ubisoft's Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii (and soon enough, on the Xbox 360 and DS as well), many have already been smitten by the fluffy bundles of impending disco doom. And the person behind it all? No other than character designer Hubert Chevillard. In his latest update on the dev blog for RRR over at IGN, Chevillard explains just how exactly the Rabbids came to be what they are now: "everybody's favorite fauna" in his words, and "Ubisoft's impromptu mascot" in ours.
