French publisher Ubi Soft has announced that its lovely-looking Sonic R/Crash Team Racing/Micro Maniacs clone Rayman M will not be available in Europe for either GameCube or Xbox. Great dishonour!
"Ubi Soft can confirm that Rayman M for Xbox and Gamecube will only be available in the United States, as it wishes European development teams to concentrate on future next generation Rayman titles," said a company statement.
An unbelievable reason if ever there was one. As if the optimisation for the European market drastically ties up development teams, to the extent at which they cannot do anything else!
Grr!
