Hopefully it'll ship soon and I can know I have it for good. xD

This game's gonna be a meme goldmine, isn't it?

As awful as I imagined it to be.

Can it be 2018 already, so we can forget about this?

@IceClimbers You know, I was trying to be open-minded about this game. Tokyo Mirage Sessions seemed to be weeb trash at first glance. Which it is, but it's great weeb trash.

Not this time though; no, sir. One sneak peek at the promo material/cover art and I already hate it.

Edit:

Okay, it's not that bad after all.

I really like it! Looking forward to E3!

Check Yoshi lookin' like a badass mofo in the corner.

RPGs are probably my least favourite genre, but I like the artwork and I don't fear this one bit. Be interesting to see how the blend of developers and franchises is fulfilled.

The whole of Yoshi, Mario, Luigi & Luigi/Peach Rabbids is really awesome!!

What would the premise of this game even be? I'm not familiar with any Mario games other than the standard Mario Bros series

My biggest question is how the game will actually play. Some RPG gameplay styles I'm a big fan of, others I couldn't care less about.

@ValhallaOutcast This is a new thing, so I'm afraid no other spin-off can help you there.

@KirbyTheVampire It's a strategy RPG, it seems. That's a bit of a broad genre, so who knows what it will end up being reminiscent of.

It'd be very ironic if this replaces the traditional Mario RPG that Paper Mario used to fill. But as I understand it, this seems more like a Tactical RPG similar to the Fire Emblem games.

I love the Advance Wars series and the one Fire Emblem game I played but at the same time,I dislike turn based battle RPG's.I really didn't enjoy Super Mario RPG either when I played it on Wii VC.I hope this game is for me because I'm loving the look of it.

@DarthNocturnal No. FF was misconceived in every way. Came after years of pretty much no Metroid. Radical change in gameplay style that few wanted. Terrible art design.

The only thing that looks bad about this are the Rabbids. They ARE hideous and repulsive, but the rest of what we've heard sounds solid so far.

@DarthNocturnal Nah, it's that Mario was angry at Sakurai for adding so many Fire Emblem characters to Smash 4 that the Mario series seemed overshadowed in comparison. Mario and friends then came up with the idea for a strategy RPG of their own to win back Sakurai so characters like Lakitu, Shy Guy, Birdo, etc. can be in the Smash 4 port.

But honestly I'd be happy if Fire Emblem became the most represented franchise in Smash.

@Grumblevolcano But to Mario's dismay,this SRPG becomes so popular that the Rabbid's are added to Smash instead.

Ugh, this is gonna be a long wait isn't it?...Bleh, lol

I 'd rather see people speculate on this rather than listing games that aren't coming to the Switch.

I'm undecided if the Rabbids will be ironically, enjoyably stupid or miserably, unfunny stupid. And regardless of what you think about them, this is still a Nintendo game that will inevitably have Nintendo involvement, so past Rabbids games are not a definitive example of how they will be.

Tbh, this is the only real worry about this game. Otherwise it's just...random and odd. It doesn't even come across as something being made purely for money, because otherwise it would probably play like the lego games or something. Any sort of RPG (that isn't Pokemon) is risking being more niche of a kid's game, so I'm under the assumption it will actually be a good video game.

I can't wait to see the previews on M+R. I bet there will be a lot of WTF?! flying around.

Was hoping it would be shipped today, guess not...really hope it gets here before the weekend. TwT
