The game doesn't feel quite the same. If you look at something like Monster Hunter Online, that's the vibe I'm getting: a game made for a very specific audience, using the best tech for mass appeal but very much with a personal twist to it. We'll have to see more to judge fairly, but I don't think that Calvin has forsaken Nintendo by any stretch of the imagination.
@OorWullie That would make sense, it just feels like something Shiggy would do to personally request the Rabbids' inclusion, since he seemed enamored with them.
@NandN3ds I do agree, but as a... skeptic, I have to say that I'm still on the fence about having Rabbids in the game (basically the minions of the gaming world) instead of somebody like Rayman. Though, from the sound of it, I feel like Miyamoto pushed for this partnership, sooooo... Blame him?
I want to dislike Mario+Rabbids for the Rabbids, but the game looks so solid, it seems like a lot of effort was put into it and I'm really starting to get excited!
With the rut that mario rpgs seem to be in, I really don't think that adding what essentially boils down to the "Minions" of video games to the mix is gonna help. Personal vendetta about rabbids being extremely annoying and a cancer that nearly single-handedly killed Rayman aside, I don't see how using these particular characters will improve the game, or why they wouldn't use more fitting and iconic characters, such as Rayman and Globox.
I really don't see how these were believable in any way. I may not be an expert on leaks, but these were so obviously faked! I don't see the point of putting out a making-of video for someone so totally terrible...
A lot of it is off. The smash run shots especially, given that the models used (especially toon link) look like they're upscaled from the 3ds, which looks a little different to the wii u ones.
@Akropolon Really reaching here, but maybe they can convince Capcom that they can put the license to good use and make a really good game with it? I think I remember seeing Kamiya say something to that effect a while back.
@Urameshi Really? I find that holding it sideways, I have the thumbs on the face buttons, indexes on the sl/sr buttons, middle fingers supporting the controller with the strap fitting snugly in the bend of my fingers. Meanwhile my last two fingers are holding the strap so that it doesn't waggle around or mess with my other fingers. Holding it like that makes it feel perfectly fine and comfortable to me at least.
Edit: After a little more testing, it feels like you can also just set the strap over your index, also alleviating issues of it getting in the way.
Thank god they decided not to go with a huge gimmick for this game because it's looking really, REALLY good! I just hope the team developing the 3D games will take note!
...Why? Is it really such a big deal to have wriststraps on controllers that you would have to remove them? I mean, it's not like they even get in the way when you're holding the controller...
Too many choices! I would love an Inkling, K.Rool, Ridley, Skull Kid, Bomberman, Shovel Knight, Shantae, Isaac, Sceptile or Waluigi but my dream choice would definitely be the Hunter from Monster Hunter!
I feel like I might be more excited for this than the actual online modes! I love the story and gameplay that was developped in the first game and this looks even better! Though I will be disappointed if Callie is the villain, seems a little too generic without there being much of a motive behind it.
WANT...SO...BAD...! Also, for the love of god Capcom, please release a new Okami game! I love Monster Hunter and Mega Man and all but come on... Okami please?
@hippoeater @Spoony_Tech To be fair, I find most of the apparatus puzzles don't work very well/are kinda gimmicky, so I just tried to find ways around them (Stasis and launching the ball out of the maze, lighting torches with fire arrows, etc...).

@Haru17 Really? Well damn, I thought it was a subsidiary or something. At least that'll ensure some polish to the game then?

@NateM94 If it helps, it's also on PC and XBone! I was getting real tempted to get a PS4, but nowI can hold off and play it on PC instead.
