Nintendo and Rayman
The Rayman series has a long history on Nintendo platforms. The original Rayman Legends was originally developed as a Wii U exclusive before going multiplatform. The Definitive Edition later released on the original Nintendo Switch. The inclusion of Switch 2 as a day-one launch platform for Retold continues this relationship.
