Nintendo Officially Responds to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC Character Request

Nintendo has officially responded to the request of one Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fan asking for Ubisoft’s Rayman to be added to the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite game. Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t confirm or deny if the character is coming to the game, but it’s interesting to see that they responded to the fan.

Over on Twitter, user “Korora” reveals that back in December they wrote a letter to Nintendo as part of an assignment for school asking for Nintendo to add Rayman to the aforementioned platform fighter. Typically, you wouldn’t expect Nintendo to respond, but it has. A few months later, Consumer Service Representative Ashley Miller responded with not just a lengthy reply, but threw some free Nintendo-themed bookmarks in the package.

“Thank you for taking the time to write to us here at Nintendo,” reads the response. “Due to high volumes and preventive measures put in place by COVID-19, we haven’t been able to respond to you in a
timely manner. I apologize for the delay in our response In your letter, you mentioned that you would like to see Rayman added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Again does this confirm or deconfirm Rayman? Probably not. While the reply is unexpected, it’s pretty standard in its language.

At the moment of publishing, there’s been no word of Rayman coming from Nintendo or from any rumors. However, for now, the character is certainly on the table, unlike Crash Bandicoot and Ryu Hayabusa.
