Really, really like the idea.

Nintendo needs crazy stuff like this. Seriously, how many of the other big boys would do this kind of thing?

Nintendo + Ubisoft, kissing in the three...

 

[Blobbers]

for me interest at a minimum, but at least there's interest

 

[Cow Mengde]

I know Nintendo is heavily involved, but I can't shake the low effort Ubi Soft launch title vibe.

 

[Xypher]

As the Southpark games are generally pretty beloved, I think that this might be a pretty good fit, if Ubi can properly show the Mario side of things here, there might be a lot of potential for a crazy and funny storyline. All I hope is that this one will be more of a traditional turn-based RPG without the timing based stuff from normal Nintendo developed Mario RPGs, as I think that both styles could easily co-exist in the future.

 

[The Giant]

My wallet is gonna take a beating with all these Switch games next year.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Also, I wonder if they would put a Rayman cameo in there considering Rabbids started off as part of the Raymn IP in the first place. Always wanted to see Mario and Rayman in a game together since i was a kid.

 

[Litri]

WAT? Let's see how this pans out.

 

[oti]

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?

I was more thinking about the Joy-Con could be vibrating independently for some reason. Not sure what that would add to the game though.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Could've at least made it Rayman so we could've gotten Barbara and the nymphs you fucks

But in all seriousness I'd have vastly preferred like, a proper 'Mario & Sonic' crossover RPG. Or with Mega Man. Or with Rayman like I just said. Or basically anything but this.

 

[Charamiwa]

For reference I'm pretty sure the Yoshi/Rabbids crossover was first leaked by Gameblog a month ago.

It feels like their report are wildly inconsistent, but sometimes they do get some things right.

Also the Laura Kate report mention some minor character so maybe it's not so much Mario but, in fact, Yoshi who's the star.

 

[LordKano]

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

If it's developed by Ubisoft and Nintendo, I doubt it will be shovelware.
I think it's Ubi way to make Raving Rabbids relevant again, so they surely don't want to screw that.

 

[GenericJoe]

Lmao, I can't wait to tell my brother about this. The Mario RPGs are some of his favorite games, but he haaaaaates the Rabbids.

 

[mStudios]

Ubisoft managing a Mario game... Need to see it first lol

 

[Dark Cloud]

It's a turn based RPG with Mario?? Omg I'm probably going to love this!

 

[ramparter]

I'm always in for crossovers and rabbids are

Spoiler

or rather just wanna have

fun.

 

[Charamiwa]

Will Rayman REVEAL HIMSELF?

 

[Dystify]

I'm curious about the art style, gameplay etc, but I feel like the writing of this game will make or break it for me. I expect a lot of comedy. Hope they can pull it off.

 

[Persona7]

The wii rabbids game was pretty cool

 

[KingSnake]

A turn based RPG. I have hopes for this one.

 

[Easy_D]

imply a Rabbid jumping into and out of them from the TV or handheld screen. The idea is to imply your system is infested with Rabbids, and that they could at any time jump out of your controller and interfere with gameplay

Is it me or does this bit remind anyone else of a certain sanity system in a certain Gamecube horror title?

Ubisoft managing a Mario game... Need to see it first lol

Eh, this is Nintendo, they'll at the very least have one of their own producers working closely with the team at Ubisoft

 

[Taij]

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

Obsidian only developed "the stick of truth", and that was started before Ubisoft bought the rights from THQ. Ubisoft developed "fractured but whole" internally.

 

[TheMagician]

Rabbids confirmed for Smash/Mario Kart

 

[Not75Drops]

You'd think they would throw Rayman in there as well. I mean it could still happen, but I feel it would've been mentioned.

 

[Taker666]

Not a bad premise.

I was concerned that it was just going to be some sports title or similar with the characters randomly thrown together..

..but the idea of the Mario Universe invaded by the Rabbids (in an RPG style game) is much more appealing.

 

[ramparter]

Wait..

WAIT

DEEPEST LORE. They knew all along.

I' love it if Nabbit turns out to be a rabbid in that game. But I don't see it happening considering they are both ips belonging to different companies.

Rabbids confirmed for Smash/Mario Kart

Yes please.

 

[SpookyBlackFish]

Haha! Rabbids are fucking stupid and Mario RPGs are usually weird, so this is at least good for some really hilarious humour. I trust them that the game will be good overall, though I for myself am not so interested... yet.

 

[KaneU]

This is gonna be the best launch line-up EVER!

 

[Refyref]

I didn't even know I wanted this up until now.

 

[?oe?oe]

What year is it?

Rabbids Go Home was the bomb though.

 

[AGoodODST]

Yoshi was robbed.

 

[VLQ]

it's a big downgrade for most iconic video game character

 

[xzeldax3]

What timeline am I in because this sounds straight up crazy.

 

[KHlover]

UbiDoes what Nintendon't. New Mario RPG on console, yaaaas.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Need to use the UbiArt Engine - Mario RPG looking like Child of Light - we are about to eat.
Wonder if there will be Voice acting ....

Yoshi was robbed.

How...he is the main party member xD

 

[Easy_D]

I' love it if Nabbit turns out to be a rabbid in that game. But I don't see it happening considering they are both ips belonging to different companies.


Yes please.

Two different companies that are collaborating on a game lol, they could totally have a Nabbit gag in the game if they wanted to

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

I was more thinking about the Joy-Con could be vibrating independently for some reason. Not sure what that would add to the game though.

Left/right joycons rumbling separately would make sense. Would be nice if the pro controller had dual rumble too, though unfortunately that's not something that seems very common outside of Dual Shock.

But in all seriousness I'd have vastly preferred like, a proper 'Mario & Sonic' crossover RPG.

Man, Ages and Odnetnin starting to sound real good.

 

[Javier]

Wait, 3D Mario AND Mario RPG at launch?

Best console launch ever confirmed?

 

[KingSnake]

The more I think about it the more I realise that Ubisoft was really good with RPGs lately. Unless it's a rushed title (and I don't see why it should be, seeing that it's a crossover, not just a last minute business decision) I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be at least decent.

 

[J@hranimo]

Man, I fucking hate the rabbids

But hey if this is a game where we get to beat their asses in then I can't be not interested!

 

[Ran rp]

I hope this isn't the Eurogamer rumor.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Wait, 3D Mario AND Mario RPG at launch?

Best console launch ever confirmed?

Yep.

3D Mario AND Mario RPG! Omg

 

[EVH]

Not really seeing the game having a good result at this point and honestly I've lost faith in Mario RPGs after the last two Paper ones.

Also, quite a bunch of mario games just for the launch window.

 

[Painguy]

Dear lord...I hate rabbids sooooo fucking much. Their character design just wants to make me fucking puke. WTF, and Ubisoft is developing it too. Ima give them a chance but I dont think this is gonna work well.

 

[Phamit]

No game footage, meh, leaks like this are worse than CGI announcement trailer

 

[oti]

Ubisoft is making the game. This could be good for Nintendo games overall. New perspectives.

 

[KingSnake]

Need to use the UbiArt Engine - Mario RPG looking like Child of Light - we are about to eat.

Isn't UbiArt Engine a 2d engine though?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

A 3D Mario game and a Mario RPG at launch?? With the Rabbids?!?

Wow.

 

[idwl]

I love reading all this news about switch, but at the same time I want there to be surprises in the January event

 

[Bear Force One]

Thanks, Trump.
