Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends both looked great, but I'd take the style of the original Rayman any day.
Oh shit yes! I miss the original Rayman's style. Although maybe what they intended was more like Origins at the time, I didn't like the exaggerated cartooniness of it. Although it did suit a multiplayer context more so as sometimes it could be funny to watch the sprites look like they were goofing off with one another.
Also did anyone notice at the end of completing a stage when the wizard fills his test tube with electoons while sitting on it, it looked like he was having a massive boner.
