Rayman’s cancelled SNES ROM rediscovered after twenty-five long years

Rayman creator Michel Ancel has found a Rayman Super Nintendo ROM that was missing for 25 years.

Ancel was working on the Super Nintendo title before plans shifted and Ubisoft decided Rayman was better suited for CD-ROM systems. Rayman eventually debuted on the Atari Jaguar before being ported to the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn.

Up until the Instagram reveal, Ancel mentioned that only “four people in the world” had seen the cancelled SNES project.

“We thought it was lost, but somewhere in the cold electronic circuit, something was alive,” he continued. He then suggested that Rayman should head to the Nintendo Switch.
