This isn't a shooter. It's a turn based RPG according to the leaks from several months ago.

 

[Slamtastic]

Mega Mario?

 

[Salvadora]

Where is Waluigi?

 

[jimmygnome9]

I knew this project wouldn't be good, but this is just nightmarish

Cross-post:

What is up with Rabbid Luigi's shirt? Rabbid Mario looks like he's wearing overalls, so...

But why

 

[L Thammy]

The possibility that I'm holding on is that another universe which this game belongs to collided with this one, creating a temporal bubble. The game will cease to exist in our timeline when the bubble bursts.

I feel like I'm going to end up playing this specifically because it's a bad idea. Like when you have a lemon and you're like "this is going to be horrible but I have to eat this right now".

Okay while I still hate the Rabbids completely I am 1000% in for Yoshi with a canon

 

[Steiner]

I couldn't be more excited. Liam has a little more info coming later, so y'all stay tuned. We'll get it up on the site then I'll share here immediately.

[DecoReturns]

Mario with a gun

never thought i'd live to see this day

Smash Brothers technically

 

[ultron87]

Luigi vaulting over cover makes me think it'll play like Gears or (since RPG is the rumor) Mass Effect.

 

[Fireblend]

I'm ready for the crazy. Hope it's fun!

 

[Kouriozan]

There we go, I'm expecting tons of fun with this.
Crazy artwork!

 

[Neiteio]

I'm strapped in. Take me someplace weird, Nintendo/Ubi.

I'm riding shotgun

DIS GON B GUD

This looks surprisingly good and fun! Super intrigued, love the Rabbids costumes

 

[The Hermit]

Of course the first IMG was a crop of the worst part of the pic.

Still looks bad though. Is this the game that plays like X-com?

[TheDinoman]

What a time to be alive.

 

[Jawbreaker]

RPG

SRPG, no?

 

[The Xtortionist]

The key art (possible box art?) is incredible. Switch is laying waste with that stuff.

 

[Zaventem]

Rabbids don't even have a good game.

 

[Hasney]

I wish the Rabbids weren't clones of the existing characters, but whatever. Might be fun.

 

[Azure Phoenix]

Love the Rabbids, I'm in.

 

[Doorman]

Not getting why people are freaking out. Isn't that exactly what the Mario and Luigi Rabbid statues looked like in that Ubisoft video last fall?

At least in my case, it's less about the visual design of the rabbid itself, and more that the addition of a flame-painted arm cannon and bedazzled cell phone selfie further drive home the notion that the goal of the rabbids is to be as intentionally obnoxious as possible, and I wouldn't have fun dealing with that throughout a whole game even if the battle system is interesting.

 

[Moments hunter]

So far it looks amazing. Cannot wait for E3! Heheh

 

[kadotsu]

I'd feel better if the Rabbids weren't there.

I'd feel better if the Wa-Bros were the main characters.

 

[The Last One]

Just waiting for more to leak, like Stars.

A Stars leak would be amazing. I NEED IT

 

[Somnid]

What's with the Mega Busters?

 

[RadioJoNES64]

Who was it that leaked this game and what else did they rumor?

 

[Dark Ninja]

YOSHI looks like a badass

 

[Apocryphon]

Sold.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Luigi vaulting over cover makes me think it'll play like Gears or (since RPG is the rumor) Mass Effect.

A mass effect style Mario RPG id play the shit out of. Even if I gotta deal with rabbids.

 

[EDarkness]

Fair enough. If you're basing it on the rumored game style plus this picture then I can understand where you're coming from.

But I personally just can't comprehend people not liking a particular game 100% due to a character design. That's just not something I can wrap my brain around. Might be a me problem though.

Well, a little confession...I have never been able to get into Bethesda RPGs (Elder Scrolls and the like) because their character models are terrible. I think they make some of the ugliest character models in the business. I spent over an hour trying to make a decent looking character in Oblivion, couldn't do it, and gave up. Sadly, they got my money and I never managed to actually play the game.

 

[Ooccoo]

Not sure if want

NO ONE IS READY

Yoshi looking like a fucking badass with that ray gun. 3 weeks until gameplay, let's goooooooooooo!

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Looks like Emily Rogers was at least partially right.

Question: Can you give us more info on the Rabbids game?

I’ll throw you guys one LAST bone.

“Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle” has eight playable characters — including Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi — and they each have their own sci-fi weapons, laser guns, arm cannons, etc. But you don’t control the characters — you control Tuttorio, a small floating dish, to guide them through the worlds. There is also co-op multiplayer.

 

[Neiteio]

Really curious to see gameplay, i wonder if its really going to be a proper RPG

Rumors said it's a turn-based strategy RPG where you control a flying saucer character called Tutorio and tell the other eight characters (four Mario, four Rabbids) what to do

 

[Shaanyboi]

http://comicbook.com/gaming/2017/05/23/mario-rabbids-kingdom-battle-confirmed-key-art/

...well then

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Suddenly this is my most anticipated Switch title outside of Odyssey.

 

[Skittzo0413]

I love how quickly the opinions on this turned around haha

Can someone proficient in photoshop please get me an avatar of Bazooka Yoshi?

Also shotgun

I totally appreciate how that's a problem, but I guess it's just not something that makes sense to me. Especially when it comes to TES characters, since I only really see them for the first 5 minutes of gameplay then never again. Skyrim's character models are a lot better FYI. The animations still suck though.

 

[Sulik2]

Ubisoft... you may have just sold me a switch. This looks ridiculous in an amazing way.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Who was it that leaked this game and what else did they rumor?

Laura Kate Dale was the first to report on it, then Emily Rogers backed it up while gradually dropping further details, then Jason Schreier said he had seen the key art and that it's real.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

It looks cheeky. I'm down.

 

[Choppasmith]

At first I'm seeing all these "OMG Kill it with fire!" comments and I didn't get it. It's the Rabbids it's supposed to be quirky and weird. That full artwork and logo though, I'm really intrigued now!

 

[Midas]

Mario looks like he got a Mega Man arm. At least this look better than Arms.

 

[psyfi]

Rabbids/Mario Garden Warfare?

That's exactly what I'm thinking.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

Luigi's got a fuckin' vacuum

 

[wild wild rice]

If the gameplay is good, I'm in.

 

[Machina]

Yoshi is avyed and zero regrets
