Figures I tried to swipe, before he smacked the back of my hand and sand "no, naughty". Well fuck you, Crecente, you and your patronising hand-slapping. I'll just go buy my own, because Ubisoft have announced that the figures - made by NECA - will soon be made available to the public. What's more, there'll be five figures available: the four we've already seen (Sam Fisher, Prince, Altair and vanilla Rabbid) plus a new one, the screaming/plunger-wielding Rabbid, which you can see (along with the classy packaging) after the jump."
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.
Rayman's adventure with the raving Rabbids may return rapidly to consoles. In a book packaged with the Xbox 360 of Rayman: Raving Rabbids there is a photo that says "The End?"
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.
The Xbox 360 edition of Rayman Raving Rabbids will feature some special content and take full advantage of the system's Vision Camera. Ubisoft hasn't given us any details on how the camera is to be used but hopefully we'll know more soon.
