Snoop Dogg Is Not Really in Rayman Legends

A few months ago, Ubisoft gave gamers a real WTF moment with a trailer for the PS4/Xbox One versions of Rayman Legends, in which an excited Rayman proposed his game to the indefatigable Snoop Dogg (or should I be saying Lion?) only to actually bring him into the game as a Rayman style character.

What did this mean?  Would there be a new Snoop Dogg rhythm stage?  Would Dogg himself actually be a playable character?  Well, according to a Q&A over on Playstation Blog, it was only a joke.  A representative Ubisoft simply explained that Snoop Dogg’s sense of humor was in line with Rayman’s and it was only meant as a little joke in the end.  Oh well, a boy can dream, can’t he?

Also addressed was whether or not the PS Vita could be used in conjunction with the PS4 version of the game, which it sounds like it won’t have any specific functionality outside of remote play.  So if you really wanna get the most out of the crazy Murfy stages, easily the highlight of the game, looks like the Wii U and Vita versions of the game are the way to go.
