Rayman 3 GBA connectivity revealed

Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc is also being released on the PS2 and XBox, but the GCN version has a number of extras that won't be included on the other platforms. The reason is simple - Ubi Soft has taken full advantage of the GBA-to-GCN linking feature and included tons of cool features. If you link a copy of Rayman 3 for the GBA to Rayman 3 on the GCN, you will unlock 10 brand-new levels in the GBA version. The same process can also be used to unlock new areas and games in the GCN version, including a Whack-a-Mole clone played with frogs and a funny homage to the old Atari game Commando. There are also a number of minigames that require one player on the GCN and one on the GBA. The one we played had the player with the GCN Controller driving a giant shoe while the GBA-wielder played a Tetris-like game that constructed the road for the driver. If the GBA player was too slow, his friend could fall to his doom! The interactive elements are very strong and a lot of fun.

"We needed to create fun minigames that people could play in between classes or while on the bus, and I think we've done that" -Bertrand Helias

I likes me the sound of this.

I'm not much of a Rayman fan, but that sounds pretty dang awesome.
