Nintendo Responds to 'Super Smash Bros.' Rayman Rumor

Super Smash Bros. Wii U 3DS News

Could have be a great addition.

On Friday, rumors of Rayman joinging the cast of 'Super Smash Bros.' began to swirl. Ultimately though, what seemed like a slip during an interview, has now been addressed and clarified by Nintendo.

From Nintendo of Canada, "In the recent interview in Canada about Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Rayman was mentioned, and this was referring to the previously announced Rayman trophy in the game."

That interview is posted here below, cut to the 1:50 mark to hear the relevant audio:

Unfortunately, this Rayman rumor appears to just have been wishful thinking, and Ubisoft's platforming icon won't be suiting up for Nintendo's brawler.  Fans are left to dream, but rest assured, the game's roster, as evidenced by playable demos, is already robust and won't be lacking come release.
