I was ok with this until I saw the Peach Rabbid taking a selfie. Something something fellow kids.

Giant beam weapons don't make me think this is turn-based strategy tho, the art feels too chaotic.

Oh my god that first ad is a bit cringy. Yup, Peach is always in distress, let's ignore all the spinoffs where she's either playable or set crazy plans in motion for when she's inevitably sought by villains because of her powers. Let's also ignore hammers, fire flowers, FLUDD, nope we never had any weapons. Luigi is even using a small version of the Poltergust what the **** are you talking about

Just keep Rosalina outta this one and the worst it could be for me is an inoffensive game for kids.

Though I have to wonder why Nintendo rejected Warrior Princess Peach for Skylanders Superchargers, but are absolutely fine with this.

Because the former would have been actually "badass" and way more dignified.

Yeah, this feels odd even if Ubisoft is the one doing this horrid marketing, Nintendo is always mentioned to be SUPER strict with their characters and references to them following their own rules(even with Bayonetta where the devs mentioned that it was a surprise that they wanted her to be in character and sexy).

"Convince media/gamers" boy you sure failed that

This does confirm it's Ubisoft, this english usage is exactly what someone with latin languages would use.

The art style is super pretty, but the marketing is already feeling too "on with the times" and the idiotic assumptions about the Mario series on that first slide give me bad flashbacks to several games. Not gonna be mad at anyone that's hyped at it... But c'mooon, Rabbids' lolrandom was already treading a fine line. Could've done without relying on these things.

Well, maybe not on this genre("crazy combat adventure" eurgh), but Samus having to team up with the Rabbids to fight space pirates and repeatedly having to avoid friendly fire sounds like a cool premise.

To be honest, the thing that weirds me out about this the most is:

When Mario and Sonic crossover, an Olympic Games party game. Not a grand RPG or platforming adventure.

When Mario crosses over with two of the biggest RPG names, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, it's a sports party game and Monopoly party game respectively.

But when Rabbids, a franchise known for it's party games and lolsorandom humour, gets a crossover with Mario, it's freakin' full-scale strategy RPG, and not a party game.

Like I just don't get Nintendo sometimes.

Actually no that's a lie, I question a lot of their decisions.

I think only the Square games were pitched by Nintendo, and there's business reasons behind the Olympic series. This one is definitely strange, but remember Ubisoft had a good streak of RPGs recently (Child of Light, South Park...), so we might be getting something good from this.

Well yeah, I mean... Mario game stories are mostly "Bowser does a bad thing, go stop him" and Rabbids game stories are mostly... idfk whatever.

So, not exactly expecting another The Last of Us.

Writing, not story. I mean the stuff we usually get in Mario games, which is usually tongue-in-cheek but fun, versus referencing every dated meme and trend this year can muster. Color Splash was a bit guilty of it, but other games have shown you can do much, MUCH worse.

rabbids came first hissss

Dunno, Rabbids in their first games were a lot more openly malicious. Like not what that lineup picture says, ALL of them are insane and have no regard for anyone as long as they're having their fun and games. Haven't followed them since then so I don't know how the last games were.

I guess they had to change it up when they started becoming the bigger things and having their own games. They were more, you know, actually evil, when it was more about Rayman.

Huh... well this is... a thing.

Certainly could be interesting. But I really don't know how much Nintendo's actually contributing to this development. And I am not a supporter of Ubisoft's general development practices so I'm a bit concerned for this game's fate. Many folks I know online resent the Rabbids for nearly killing off Rayman (and destroying the possibility of another 3D Rayman platformer). <.<;

Ubisoft is kinda mixed on their business practices. They have franchises with yearly games, like Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, Rabbids, it goes on. But they also throw in some gems from time to time, showing they at least don't care just for the money, and want to make some games more for the sake of art. Examples include Beyond Good & Evil, Valiant Hearts, Child of Light, main series Rayman, it goes on.

Okay, I decided I'm going to reserve my judgement until we see gameplay or something. I agree this is a pretty stupid idea, but who knows, it could be wind-up being well-executed.

Or it could be a total flop. Either way, reserving judgement and remaining cautiously optimistic.

Copy pasting this from a post of mine on another forum but:

I think I alluded to it already, but if there's one thing I really just don't want to happen in the Rabbids game, is that I don't want the non-playable Mario characters to get underplayed or "humiliated" in any way just for the sake of making a lazy "ooooh noooo Mario has to rescue all his friends who totally can't fend for themselves from the Rabbids" storyline.

Like if that DK Rabbid we see is just a big and strong Rabbid who happens to dress up like DK like the Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi Rabbids, then sure, that's fine and actually quite amusing. Get the real DK involved in the fight against him and that could be awesome too.

If that's actually DK himself though and he's been mutated into a Rabbid (or he's being held in captivity by the big Rabbid), then that's the kind of crap that would actively make me really hate the game, even if the game play is really good (and from what I'm hearing, it sounds like a good alternative to Codename STEAM). Same with Wario, Waluigi, and Rosalina. Rosalina should flat out be absent from this game IMO if she's not playable, or should have an uninvolved cameo that still excludes her from the main events. Unless they make her send the Rabbids home at the end as a brief cameo or something, then I only see them putting a huge blemish on the character if they use her, like making the Rabbids capture her or take over the Comet Observatory or something, reducing her to a damsel in distress. I just don't trust Nintendo or Ubisoft enough right now to be able to handle the character in a role thag actually involves her in a main story of a game (ironic, given what gives the character a good portion of her appeal and popularity).

Wario and Waluigi could work as rivals to the playable characters in this game, I could see them actually embracing the chaos the Rabbids bring or taking advantage of it in some way. Maybe they actually get some Rabbids to help them in a money making scheme and you might even have to liberate those Rabbids? They definitely shouldn't be just another person to save or something either, though.

This is honestly one Mario game where I would be all for as basic a roster of characters as possible as it reduces the chances of that happening.

Dude, it says 8 playable characters

Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Luigi, Rabbid Yoshi, and Rabbid Peach.

So, I guess you're not getting the game then

Might want to judge this a bit differently if you do want it

Really, dude

I hate it when people judge games before the god dang footage is even footage.

First off, the rabbid versions of the characters aren't clones, they are entirly different characters with different playstyles.

Also, BTW if they had more than 8, the I'm pretty sure the game would be too easy, they chose the number for a reason
