Mario + Rabbids Season Pass detailed (New story content, challenges, more)
- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
With Rabbid Rosalina.
I'm down, no question, assuming the reviews for this game come out as well as I think they will (85+ metacritic Rabbids game, oh my).
Question: does Xcom have a competitive multiplayer component? Is it any good? I've been wondering what the chances are of Mario + Rabbids eventually having competitive local/online play. Seems like it would be awesome, but I'm not too experienced with this genre so maybe it wouldn't be awesome? Nobody seems to ever bring it up.

Might pick this up, but I'm going to wait until the actual goods show up before I pay up. Not throwing down money for an unknown.
Steiner coming through with the hype. Hope the season pass stuff is worth it in the end.
Nope, local co-op challenges.

Nintendo has nothing to do with any of this other than signing off on it.
All of this is Ubisoft made and published.
For some reason I manage to miss any info about it. Is it separate mode or full campaign in co-op? And two joy-cons co-op?
It's a local co-op mode while in battles. I don't think there's anything co-op outside of that.
and thus I cancel my pre-order :/
I understand that they want more money out of it. but I want a whole package. so I'll get back to the game when everything has been released from the season pass and it's 55€.
but maybe my wife will want to play it on release day.

You'll still get it. You'll want to be a part of the buzz and take part in the launch discussions.
But for the Zelda the defacto main attraction is the story dlc.
For a game like this....? DLC part 2 with maps and co op could be more exciting than story tbh

It's a separate mode where you do co-op missions with two joy cons. They take place on the battlefield and one person has two characters and the other person has two characters.
Felt like a half baked system, oh well I'm interested in the SP only anyway.
Was planning on pre-ordering but I might wait for review before dropping my money.
My main concern from what I've seen so far is most of the exploration are too shallow and linear, I know later stages will be more complex, but just in case, I will wait since this is not developed by Nintendo afterall.
Thanks for the info. So the game will have multiple modes outside of story I assume? Challenge and stuff.
What if you actually play Bowser in that?

$20 is better than I expected hoping they go towards Rosalina and not Waluigi and Wario tho, but Rabbid Wario would be comedy gold so I can see this happening

I believe the co-op mode is the only other mode aside from the main story mode. I think they said once you beat a world in the main campaign you can come back to that world to do harder challenges in the battle areas.
A game like what? This is a story based strategy game. It's not just about narrative story but rather big campaign stages which are designed with gimmicks, puzzles, battles, and bosses. The main attraction will 100% be the story DLC because it means more campaign stages and new content.
The co-op and challenge stages could be cool, but just like Zelda, it is a QoL improvement using existing assets and will be less exciting than the main course.

New story content with 6 new characters starring Wario, Waluigi, Rosalina, Rayman, Bowser Rabbid, and Birdo Rabbid.
It's a turn based strategy game. It should be fairly easy to come up with more content for a Season Pass. They also want to avoid people flooding the used game market with their copies after finishing the game. I don't know. We'll see if the game turns out good enough for support in 2018.

Ahhhhhhhhh my hype.
Ouch, eagerly anticipating the 28th, then!
Buying it too, and there is no problem.

Available seperately??
Interesting. This thread was actually the first time I've ever heard of the season pass even existing (either that, or I just forgot about it) and I thought it might just be enough of a reason to pass on the game altogether. I just hate the very idea of season passes. Even though I did buy some in the past (namely Mario Kart 8 and BOTW).
Question: how do season passes work exactly? Is there a time limit or can I just buy it anytime down the line if I want to?
Commiting to content you haven't seen for a game you haven't played.
It's so bizarre.
Season passes are nothing more than an entitlement that you download that will allow you to download the content "freely" as it releases. They're generally at a discount compared to buying everything individually, and they can toss in some minor aesthetic bonuses to help sweeten the deal, like the Switch shirt in BotW.

I want Daisy. You literally would only have to do minor edits to the Peach model.
Only season pass I've gotten is the Zelda one, and I don't think that one expires.

Not buying this game due to other games interesting me for the time being but will probably buy the season pass later down the line when more information is available.

Part 2 and 3 are fine, not liking locking weapons behind the pass at all though (considering the type of game it is).
Shame, I don't what to buy the pass at release and prefer to buy them when actual proper content is added - but with weapons locked behind it and the style of game it is i may break my no season pass at launch rule on this one (as the game looks great).

I just meant that the game's narrative is not going to be as anticipated as something like zelda's. Personally, if the co-op maps are cool, I'd care more about that than the story dlc. But if the story dlc has pretty substantial additions, then sure. I don't know what is generally expected from stuff like that.

I never thought i would see a story season content for a MARIO game
God damn it Ubisoft, I was just about to pre-order the game and you pull this crap now?
Guess I will just wait till the game drop in price and after the story DLC is released.
That would be pretty lame if she's locked behind the DLC paywall.
Ewwwwwww.
But why would you want to ruin perfection to create a monster?
