You haven't even seen this game yet. You know nothing about it except that it contains Rabbids, Mario characters and it's a turn based RPG. Don't jump to a biased conclusion yet.

Sorry but history doesn't give me reasons to be excited:
Last Mario RPGs had a lot of flaws. Last Rabbids games... well...
So mixing both series which are at their lowest, for a launch title... I think I have legitimate reasons to not be excited.

 

[Tregard]

Damn, people already writing the game off as trash before we see gameplay or screenshots.

Can y'all PM me that trailer so I can have a reason to hate too?

If you think Rabbids suck, that's half the battle lost already

 

[Mediking]

Sounds interesting. Day one.

 

[VLQ]

great choice for your treasure ip, nintendo, lol

 

[EVH]

That's your fault for not playing the superior Mario & Luigi series. :V

I played them. First was fantastic and loved it but the one with the babies was such a fucking chore and dissapointment, so I actually stopped there. AlphaDream made a good series that went to shit fast.

Still, if this game is actually an UbiArt 2D game I could see it with better eyes, knowing that Ubi also did the South Park games.

 

[Fat4all]

I'll take a Mario RPG where he stomps on the Rabbids heads.

 

[Neiteio]

The hardest part to believe is actually that Nintendo would launch a 3D Mario and a Mario RPG on the same system and the same day

 

[Dark Cloud]

great choice for your treasure ip, nintendo, lol

Because Nintendo would do this to their Mario IP without quality control? Get outta here troll.

Rabbids is not a game genre, they are just characters. The quality of a game depends a lot on the genre. Last Rabbids games were different genres. More stupid genres. Last Mario RPG was developped by someone else. The RPGs developed by Ubisoft lately are pretty damn good.

It's also the first cross-IP developed game between Ubisoft and Nintendo. I'm pretty sure none of them wants to make a garbage out of this collaboration.

 

[HoJu]

well, this is one way to bring third party sales up for a Nintendo system...

 

[Bersi]

This sounds... really cool, plus a 3D Mario and a RPG Mario on Day One? that's amazing if it's true.

 

[cw_sasuke]

great choice for your treasure ip, nintendo, lol

The Rabbids characters were still the best part about those games. This isnt a mini-game collection so i dont quite get your point.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

This is what kind of worries me.

What if.....this is the only Mario game coming at launch.

pls no

 

[stilgar]

great choice for your treasure ip, nintendo, lol

Yeah, lol
Could be worse though : imagine if they made a partnership with Sonic

You missed out on M&L3: Bowser's Inside Story is the best Mario RPG in years. The latest two were not so good unfortunately.

 

[Ashodin]

Switch's launch is going to be amazing, isn't it?

 

[Porcile]

Might as well just chuck the Crazy Frog in there for good measure too.

 

[KingSnake]

This is what kind of worries me.

pls no

Come on! Both rumours are reported by the same person. How can it be the same game?

 

[VLQ]

Because Nintendo would do this to their Mario IP without quality control? Get outta here troll.

they already did bunch of low quality cross-overs like olympic games, but atleast sonic is not completely trash as a character

 

[Neiteio]

The RPGs developed by Ubisoft lately are pretty damn good.

Honest question: What RPGs were developed by Ubisoft? Are you talking about the South Park games? Because they only published those.

 

[BGBW]

This is the true Mario RPG Dream Team.

 

[Gagaman]

Ubisoft did a sort of turn based RPG in one of the 3DS rabbids games.

This rumour is mental and will probably drive my girlfriend to want a Switch seeing as she loves Rabbids AND Mario RPGs. Blimey.

Oh man they might make Rabbids Amiibos hahaha.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Come on! Both rumours are reported by the same person. How can it be the same game?

I'm just being paranoid lol

Honest question: What RPGs were developed by Ubisoft? Are you talking about the South Park games? Because they only published those.

Child of Light

They're also developing the new South Park game internally.

Rabbids isn't a game genre. It's an IP. A low tier IP for Ubisoft, which featured in low quality, developped by C teams. Last Mario RPGs were overseen by Nintendo's bad decisions for a Mario RPG, aka "no new characters" "light story".
Which RPGs were developped by Ubisoft lately ? South Park was Obsidian, Child of Light was Ubisoft Montréal.

So... unless Nintendo developps it, with a new focus OR unless Ubisoft Montréal or Montpellier developps it, with a different focus too, aka interesting combat system, charming story and such...
I expect it to be on the same level as Mario and Sonic games.

 

[KingSnake]

Child in Time and the new South Park are both developed in house.

 

[Phamit]

..how often do you get First Nintendo trailer leaks 2 months before the unveiling ? Talk about unrealistic expectations for a Leak.
.

It's not about expectation , I mean I see no value in leaking a game if you can't provide game footage.

 

[oti]

they already did bunch of low quality cross-overs like olympic games, but atleast sonic is not completely trash as a character

 

[Papercuts]

...

Fuck rabbids, man.

 

[J@hranimo]

If you think Rabbids suck, that's half the battle lost already

I do, but that's for the petty reason that their existence denied the world a Rayman 4...

I'm intrigued with this game.

 

[Neiteio]

Child in Time and the last South Park are both developed in house.

Oh, Obsidian didn't develop Fractured But Whole?

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Rabbids seems odd but hey if it's good I'll buy it day one.

 

[random25]

For those skeptical about this, most if not all of the latest collaborations of Nintendo with other companies have been pretty good. Hyrule Warriors and Smash 4 have been pretty great collaboration works with KT and Bamco respectively. So I'm giving this a chance, assuming it's real.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Oh, Obsidian didn't develop Fractured But Whole?

I'm afraid not Looks like Ubisoft have done a pretty good job internally though.

 

[orioto]

Hmmm wait, that was the perfect ip crossover for a party game. Where is your party game Nintendo.

I mean i have nothing against a 100% gamer launch but.. You need to sell some of this to.

Well ok..

 

[KingSnake]

Oh, Obsidian didn't develop Fractured But Whole?

Nope.

Developer(s): Ubisoft San Francisco, South Park Digital Studios

 

[Dark Cloud]

they already did bunch of low quality cross-overs like olympic games, but atleast sonic is not completely trash as a character

Sonic isn't a trash character? Yeah, I'll stay away from that.

 

[paragonpro]

Haha fuck that sounds cool! This is such anweird and wonderful concept I hope this is real

 

[TrueBlue]

The South Park game was often compared to Paper Mario, right? Child of Light also got a decent reception, didn't it?

Cautiously optimistic. It's so crazy that it might work.

Hoping for a Rayman cameo!

 

[Bluth54]

South Park, yo

Obsidian developed that though, Ubi-Soft just published it.

 

[VLQ]

Sonic isn't a trash character? Yeah, I'll stay away from that.

you can like him or not but sonic is iconic character

 

[Nezzhil]

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

Me too. It's so surreal and potentially hilarious that I need it becomes a reality.

 

[Already Torn]

Super checked out of this if true. Wouldn't buy a Switch at launch, would wait for Zelda and Smash. The rabbids are trash and this is honestly a really bad look imo. They can't even get a proper Rahman crossover, just the garbage Wii Party Rayman spinoff.

Bad vibes.

 

[J@hranimo]

you can like him or not but sonic is iconic character

This is true.

 

[KingSnake]

Obsidian developed that though, Ubi-Soft just published it.

Not The Fractured but Whole.

 

[Mpl90]

If this is real, I hope there are several tracks following the style of Rabbids Go Home's OST, especially remixes of classic Mario themes.

 

[cw_sasuke]

I mean I see no value in leaking a game if you can't provide game footage.

Well thats too bad for you i guess.

 

[Dark Cloud]

you can like him or not but sonic is iconic character

Well...he's definitely iconic.

 

[Peléo]

Unexpected, hopefully the game will turn out good. I personally like the rabbids and I believe they will mesh well with some of Mario enemies. Hearing they will focus on lesser known characters from the Mario franchise gives me Captain Rainbow vibes, which I like.

 

[Hermii]

Leaks, leaks and more leaks. This entire Conference will have leaked by the end of November

Damn you Emily Rogers, LKD, Ubisoft and Nintendo employees.

 

[Acquiescence]

great choice for your treasure ip, nintendo, lol

"treasure ip" lol

Nintendo would never release a Mario game that's anything less than the very best after all.
