Rocket League Is Getting Free Nintendo-Themed Battle-Cars At Launch

Woot! At just the right price too!
I do love free content. Looking forward to picking this up when I can.

That Metroid car is Siiiick.

Woo! Exclusive third party stuff!

Hmm... This has left me intrigued.
I will definitely consider Rocket League for my Nintendo Switch.

All aboard the Hype Train!

**CHOO! CHOO!!**

I absolutely love the look of the Samus Gunship.

Wow nice! They all look great!

Mario and Luigi look rather basic but that Gunship though! Also free content is just always great.

For $20, you got me day1

Now they just need the wario pimp wagon and of course that once can be released for 4.99 cuz wario

I hope we get to use these online against Xbox and PC opponents.

The cars are nice, but I'm far more interested in the Mushroom Kingdom stage pictured. That would be pretty awesome.

EDIT: As someone else pointed out, that's not a mushroom kingdom stage. Don't want my post to lead to any confusion.

The Samus Gunship car looks amazing.

The Metroid car looks phenomenal!

This looks way better than a Mario hat on a car

Release date? Can't wait!

OK that Metroid car just sold me on the game.

I want that Metroid car in real life

I so want this!

@OorWullie : Most likely yes.

is it just me or dose the above images also appear to show a Mario and Metroid themed areas?

@abe_hikura I'm about 90% certain I recognize those areas from the PC version, I think they just chose levels that look most like the franchises in question.

I don't know if anybody knows about this but did you guys know that on youtube some people don't understand why these Nintendo-themed cars are exclusive to the Nintendo port of the game? I seriously wanted to cry when I saw it.
On the topic of the cars though, damn that metroid car looks awesome

...where is my Blue Falcon!?

I'm so butthurt by Nintendo right now I wanted to comment, "oh wow. great" sarcastically, but then I saw that Gunship car and it's fricking beautiful! Love it.

That Metroid Skin is good looking.

Inb4: someone says they demand a Daisy themed vehicle...

I demand a Daisy-themed vehicle.

Kidding - the Blue Falcon would be cool though. Can't wait for this game.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Seriously. Their art teams knows whats up.

Hey Nintendo, it was Metroid's anniversary last year. I'm not complaining about all the Metroid content we are getting now but where was the announcements last year.

This is great.

The cherry on top would be a Samus morph ball for the actual ball.

The cars look awesome! I hope they come out with more in the future!

On that Luigi tip B.

and when is launch?

@Shiryu Underrated. Deserves more recognition.

Wait... Am I seeing this right? Nintendo is now looking at Metroid? Like really promoting it? Am I dreaming?

I've really been hearing about Rocket League from people who have played it, and it really is that deal from the info I gathered. This only sweetens things. I haven't made my mind up yet, but it's good to see all this good press and goodies from the dev on it.

@justin233 Daisy and Rosalina cars would have been SOOOO much better! They fit Blue and Orange better.

Day One purchase for me. Rocket League has restored my faith in sports games. This will be one of only a handful of games I have ever purchased more than once.

I'm just happy that that a third party developer just acknowledged that Nintendo has way more franchises than just Mario (Mario isn't bad by any means, but cmon dudes)

Hi I'm a moron, and as morons do...I have to ask..."Will these cars be available on the other consoles?"

@Zingo Yes, I believe they are timed exclusive on PS4 for the rest of this year...

@memoryman3 No thanks.

Love the Samus one!

This basically justifies my double dip on the game.

Day one. That Metroid car is off the chain! I'm still hoping the we get the Delorean as well. Its my favorite car.

Mario & Luigi cars: Eh.

Metroid car: YES! SHOW ME YOUR MOVES!

Hope I can still connect to my existing PC account.

So has how crossplay works been detailed yet? That really is the most exciting concept behind Rocket League for Switch.

That Samus ship cliched it. I'm waiting for the Switch release.

@NaviAndMii I'm on it!

A Blue Falcon car would have perfectly complimented the orange Gunship car, but still cool.

How will these vehicles look in their alternative colors?

Welp. I'm more likely to pick it up now. Hope they keep the exclusive cars coming - a Ness themed one would be great.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I want this car in real life.

Dose anyone know how many players can play on singiel Switch in co-op?

@-DG Don't we all?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Thank you for the wallpaper.

Now that's cool. Let's get some Nintendo themed pinball tables from Zen next???

@JaxonH that's a great idea! They should consider that! Hopefully they view these posts lol

@Zingo probably not. Each system has a unique car unique to it, the Switch has two!

@Grumblevolcano Apparently with the push of a button, quite literally from Psyonix themselves. They had shown Sony they are ready and awaiting their approval.

@GrailUK LOLOLOL

Does the Luigi car give the death stare?

Well i guess I'm getting this now lol

@Ryu_Niiyama Oh that would be ace ^^ lol

Looks like a fun game.

This looks great can't wait to be able to play this on the go.

That Metroid car is off the hook!

@InternetBowser Only Xbox One and PC player will be able to see them. Sony only allows cross play with the PC.

Rocket League dev... you have my money. once again!

This game is insanely fun and worth $60. It costs $20. Need I say more?

Down the line when Animal Crossing comes to the Nintendo Switch, maybe Rocket League could get the RVs from the Campground as new cars? I know it sounds very silly, but there could be special paint jobs based on different villagers (the green-checkered pattern for Isabelle) for example. What could be even more humorous as a cosmetic touch? If the Villager can be seen driving the vehicle when looking at the front. That'd be hilarious.
(Either that or the Nook's Home's car, but there's already similar looking cars in Rocket League.) Bells, fruit, and music notes boost, and It would be golden.

These are all fine and good but will I still be able to get the Back to the Future DeLorean car? I sold my PS4 copy in anticipation for this version, even if I have to buy the DLC again, I just want it.

@roadrunner343 The Mario Cars are actually staged at the Utopia Coliseum. It is one of the fields already in the game, but a Mushroom Kingdom field would be cool. That would be a huge deal since RL makes a big deal about new stadiums.

I would buy toys of the Mario and Luigi cars. I love how they look.

#Metroidwasneverdead

Yep, will be buying.

Rocket League was one of the hits I was hoping for in order to give the Switch some much-needed relevance, and hoo boy, while the Switch doesn't necessarily "need" it given how fast it's selling, Psyonix's Nintendo support has exceeded my expectations by far.

It will be weird for Xbox One users seeing an official Mario car score in their goal, but that's the wonder of the age we live in.

2017 is generally becoming one of the best years for all-around pop/nerd culture, and I guess @ThanosReXXX will agree with me on this one - The Defenders, the DuckTales reboot, the Justice League movie, Thor Ragnarok, Spider-Man Homecoming, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, the Castlevania show by Ellis, Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, the list goes on and on.

@fortius54 Thanks much for pointing that out. I've edited my post so it doesn't lead to confusion. I'm a very casual player and only play a couple rounds per month (Used to play more) but didn't realize that was a stage already in the game.

@AlexSora89 Oh, why not. I'm in a relatively good mood today...

@ThanosReXXX
And next year is going to be legen... wait for it...

@AlexSora89 Dairy?

P.S.

Fun fact: in Dutch, "legen" means "to empty".
There you go, I improved your language skills by 0.02%...

@ThanosReXXX
And all I have to catch up with is the remaining 99,98%! Thank you Mad Titan!

@AlexSora89 Don't thank me just yet. You now know the meaning of the word, but not how to actually pronounce it.

I've seen quite a few people struggle with it, as have I myself.

I probably only learned so well because I've been here for so long, otherwise I'd possibly still be struggling.

The 'g' is pronounced as a hard G, something only prevalent in Dutch, Islamic/Arabian and some Eastern European countries.

Go ahead and give it a try:

Scroll down to "legen pronunciation in Dutch" and click on the play button on the left side...

That site is great to learn a lot of other words in all kinds of languages, by the way.

@ThanosReXXX
Will check it, thanks!

@AlexSora89 You're welcome. Too bad I can't hear you pronounce it, though...

@ThanosReXXX
You're not missing that much. Just me making weird chicken sounds. I really need a speech therapist.
