Topic: Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

I was very excited when I heard about this game and then I saw the trailer....WTF is that!!?? It looks like Splatoon (OMG that game is boring)...I just don't know what to think about the switch anymore...mario kart 8 (wow already on wii u), ARMS (looks boring as hell), BOTW (one great game they obviously they needed that), Binding of Isaac (wow another remake of an old game), Shovel Knight (oh right...5th versions? remake again...), Skyrim (oh right another remake of an old game), etc.. Like nothing interesting at all besides BOFW, possibly super mario odyssey and games coming out in 2018 (MP4)

There is so much wrong with just this one statement

I tried to make it even even more wrong. Not sure I succeeded though.

I think I did.

Now that's what I call getting into the Rabbid spirit.

Just pre-ordered my copy of the game. Have to admit I was one of those people who were really down on the game when it leaked but after seeing it in action I'm so excited!

Seems that people of YouTube like what they see too.

The game's trailer was one of the most viewed over E3.

Mario Odyssey did well too but its amazing how well received this game's been despite featuring the rabbids. Do people even like them that much?

@IntoxicatedDuck I think the Rabbids are a kind of "love to hate" type of character. Stupidity and insanity are their defining traits, making them fodder for mockery, even in-universe as part of their backstory in the original Raving Rabbids game.

The main thing that seemed to rub people the wrong way about them was that, for a while, they pretty much consisted of mindless stupidity for the sheer sake of it, making their "humor" not very engaging. Mario + Rabbids fixes this by giving them more defined (if still somewhat simplistic) personalities.

Anyway, here's my take on what the roles of the main party will be...

• Mario: Balanced, front-line fighter
• Rabbid Mario: Close-quarter combat specialist
• Luigi: Sniper, indirect combat
• Rabbid Luigi: Front-line tank, survivalist
• Peach: Dedicated healer
• Rabbid Peach: Combat medic, balanced in offence and support
• Yoshi: Rocketeer, bunker buster
• Rabbid Yoshi: Heavy ballistic weaponry, point defence

I'm not a fan of the Rabbids at all. When I heard about this, my first thoughts were "Sounds dumb." But as I actually watched gameplay, I realized it looked really fun. This is now at the top of my Switch wishlist (Besides Super Mario Odyssey of course.)

I'm really looking forward to this game. Knowing this and odyssey (as well as splatoon etc.) are rarely going to be discounted within a year, I buy them day one.

I admit defeat to the capitalistic marketing overlords. But I love it in this case. The game looks too much fun to leave on the table.

Looking at that new ''villain'' art, it's more obvious than ever that Jr. is the main antagonist. And though I didn't realize it before, most of the minor enemy Rabbid's hair actually resembles that of Jr. as well.

Oh, and Jr.'s new mech has a cow-themed weapon. Ah, memories...

Well. I guess this is the (kid-friendly) Great Mighty Poo of the new generation.

I love how people are seemingly resentful they like and want the game.

I mean if it appeals to you,pick it up. The only thing the world will judge you for is why you are playing what is going to be viewed as a kids game

@BLP_Software Rabbids are just one of those things that people consider ''cool'' to hate. Like Minions, or Capcom. Who knows if this game will change that.

Day in the life of a Nintendo fan.

Being a child at heart is far more enjoyable anyways.

Anyways, I dislike Rabbids because they're ugly to look at. I don't hate their style of humor, and I've never played one of their games.

@-Green- There's no point being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes

Said by the 4th Doctor. And hilariously? A show with that childish wonder and creativity has putlived many shows.

@Nicolai And I lurve it XD

No 3rd party game ever sells on Nintendo consoles.

@Ubisoft Headquarters
Let's put Mario on a really bonkers crossover and make fun of his moustache and stupid catchphrases and give him a gun and let's make Peach shoot with a fire blasting shotgun and put rabbids in it.

Watch money being printed.

Seriously though, if you want to have a good time. Go and read the comments from any video or news item that has the leak from eight months ago. Then read comments from todays previews that have been all around the web.

This game must have the Guinness world record on changing peoples minds.

CoD bros online, maybe. Most adults don't need to try and establish their maturity with their choices in media.

There's a lot of truth to the saying that youth is wasted on the young. So many spend all their time intent on growing up, and then, when they're firmly grown up, they wistfully try to recapture their childhoods.

I think people are just shocked they want the game so much after how down they were on it. I'm in the same boat. I, like so many of my fellow gamers, had a kneejerk reaction to the leaks, and I have egg on my face now.
