No toads, only rabbids :")
No story.

 

[jaypah]

This sounds stupid but potentionally brilliant. Yeah. Ok yeah, I'm here for this.

 

[Acquiescence]

That moment when you realise Rabbids were doing the whole Minions schtick years before Minions.

 

[ImLibo]

the "rabbids infested console" idea could be cool.

 

[Easy_D]

I mean the South Park games were good right? Would be funny if Ubisoft created a deeper RPG experience than Mario's had in forever. It'll probably be very by the numbers, non-specific rabbids to replace every toad

 

[Jofamo]

Wait..

WAIT

DEEPEST LORE. They knew all along.

 

[Mpl90]

That is, indeed, something not that many people could imagine.

And we still have Eurogamer's article for today. Oh boi

 

[Eolz]

Why god no
This sounds awful!

 

[Orakio Rob]

This is so weird. I love the idea.

Hope the Child of Light guy works on it. That was a surprisingly great RPG.

trust me on this one, Ubisoft is super salty about that

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

we finally get a fucking rayman and mario crossover
AND a SMRPG2

but it features the rabbids

 

[Forkball]

This must be the "crazy new game" people keep hinting at. Honestly... I expected crazier. Are the Rabbids even popular in Japan?

 

[LordKano]

So, this is a western RPG in the Mario Universe, featuring Rabbids from Nintendo. And it's on a home console, developped by Ubisoft.

what is this timeline

 

[TheSpoiler]

That moment when you realise Rabbids were doing the whole Minions schtick years before Minions.

Fuck that's what I thought of too.

Now we get a whole RPG experience with them!

 

[Mpl90]

Wait..

WAIT

DEEPEST LORE. They knew all along.

Deepest lore going deeper and deeper.

 

[random25]

Mario X Rabbids? Wat?

 

[heringer]

Rabbids can fit really well in the Mario Universe, so we'll see.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

An rpg? Didn't expect that.. slightly more hopeful.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Honestly, this isn't even the most bizarre crossover rpg Nintendo has worked on...

 

[thecouncil]

... Rabbids are still a thing?

I fell like they only appear for Nintendo hardware launches.

 

[Jonneh3003]

I keep reading the title and it still isn't clicking that this could be a thing...like...what?

 

[WordAssassin]

I'm super curious as to what art style they'll go with. Will it look like the renders from the SNES Mario RPG? Surely it'll have a different style from the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi RPG lines. Or will it be Mario characters in that soft elastic cartoony style the Rabbids have?

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Mario RPG turned FPS to fight off invasion of Killer Rabbids.

 

[SweetDonuts]

This sounds really fun actually, looking forward to a trailer

 

[Mistouze]

Curious on the art-style the game will sport.

 

[TheDinoman]

Mother of fuck.

Hopefully the game itself is good.

 

[Übermatik]

I dunno...

I... I dunno.

 

[Dystify]

They're saying the party will be made of more minor characters? But Yoshi is THE most important character in the Mushroom Kingdom!!

 

[Oblivion]

wow sounds like it might be just as if not better than rayman raving rabbits for the wii

 

[jonno394]

Hopefully Ubisoft Montreal are making it and they are using the Child of light engine...I can dream.

 

[KaneU]

WOW, this sounds really interesting, MARIO RPG developed by UBISOFT????? This is insane!

 

[FataIChoice]

I mean the South Park games were good right? Would be funny if Ubisoft created a deeper RPG experience than Mario's had in forever. It'll probably be very by the numbers, non-specific rabbids to replace every toad

Obsidian developed the South Park games, I imagine this is probably an internal Ubisoft team.

 

[Eliseo]

FUCKING AWESOME, BWAAAAHH!

 

[oti]

But what if you play the game with the Pro Controller?

 

[Übermatik]

This is both a bit mad yet not quite on the levels of batshit insanity I expected judging by the GameXplain reactions... Is this really the 'unbelievable' announcement?

 

[Easy_D]

Obsidian developed the South Park games, I imagine this is probably an internal Ubisoft team.

Oh right, Ubi just published. Good point.

 

[GlamFM]

Holy shit!

What a great combination.

Loads of potential.

 

[fisheyes]

Well this is something.

 

[jonno394]

But what if you play the game with the Pro Controller?

What difference will it make, the pro controller has the functions of the joycon (vibrate etc) so the Rabbids can still be inside the controller and pop up on the TV screen interfering?

 

[true Gek]

Ok the concept is simply awesome. I only hope that the game will be good :3

 

[frankie_baby]

This sounds just too awesome to be true, cant wait for it

Also makes little sense though having a mainline mario and mario rpg on the same day

 

[Toadthemushroom]

Damn, I was NOT expecting this. Almost wish it didn't get revealed now, if Nintendo randomly dropped this in the middle of January's presentation the reaction would be amazing.

 

[LordKano]

Oh right, Ubi just published. Good point.

Ubi is developing the second South Park tho, and I heard it's at least as funny as the first.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Oh right, Ubi just published. Good point.

Aren't ubi working on the sequel in house though?

 

[Stone Ocean]

This is both a bit mad yet not quite on the levels of batshit insanity I expected judging by the GameXplain reactions... Is this really the 'unbelievable' announcement?

I'm not sure how to even react. The idea is so far out that I can't even register as a thing yet.

what is this timeline

The one that'd scream launch title shovelware. :/

 

[Monumma]

At the very least I am ready to ironically love it.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

The title will focus on the Mario universe being invaded by Ubisoft’s Rabbids characters

So the game is about the game. So meta.

 

[Jim_Cacher]

I am intrigued.

Wait, how about the Eurogamer report? Are they going to leak the same thing?
