Marvel’s Wolverine in a violent game — this is something developer Insomniac set out to build from the very start.

Rayman Legends Retold First Preview: A Remake With 3D Art and 2D Action
I'm not always fond of the constant remaking of games that don't necessarily need a remake, especially if it's not going to be a fundamental rethinking of the source material.

But I think Rayman Legends Retold is just imaginative enough to separate itself from the original.
