Well, you really can't go wrong by copying XCOM. Also it's not as jarring as it could be, Rabbids fit the whimsical nature of the Mario universe more than a gritty realistic take on Mario would. In fact, I don't think it's that much weirder than putting Mario and Sonic in a game together, especially considering some of the weird directions Sonic has gone in as a franchise. We are just used to Mario and Sonic crossovers because there have been so many. It is a shame Rayman isn't in the game though.
This isn't first party. This is Ubisoft.

Was expecting an 84 so I was pretty close. Sounds good.
I had hopes it would be much better than it sounded even before the e3 showing seemingly won a lot of people over. There was still a lot of people on YouTube comment sections and Twitter upset at this game's existence so hopefully his wins them over.
Another great addition to Switch's great first year.

Glad it's getting good reviews, but I just can't get excited for a game with Rabbids. I might be able to justify a purchase if it's ever on sale.
It fits the weirdness of this timeline, that's for sure..

So happy this is good. The crossover I never knew I wanted until it was announced. To think I once despised the rabbids out of pure salt for replacing the Rayman franchise. Now I'm excited enough for a rabbids game to get it day 1. So I say again.

That's for the sequel! ;-)
Can't wait to pickup tomorrow with GS credit! So it's free for me!
It's great! Rabbids are more like minions than ever. They offer a side light hearted note. Alot less irritating than I used to find them and produce some genuine chuckles.
The whole package is just great from the first few hours I've played so far. OST is great, visually very charming, and once things pick up the battles do get challenging. Trying to do them in the "par" amount of turns is a great little side challenge. It's not as deep as X-com but it produces a lot of smiles to make up for it.

Looks like I'll be revisiting my Switch soon.

Sonic Mania got a midnight release. I think this has a good shot.
Are you sure? Overcooked, Sonic Mania and others got midnight releases on the EU eshop. Why not this game?
More like Kane and Lynch

Why is the dude's head not replaced with Mario?
Because he represents us, the player. A blank slate if you will
It's the Dark Souls of Citizen Kane movies.

Played it all weekend, just finished World 2. Easily a 90.
Great gameplay, incredibly good visuals, and great use of the properties, game is actually laugh out loud funny.
Super happy with my purchase.
Yes. All first print copies of the game have the dlc code insert in the box.

I mean, just pass the controller in between turns? That's pretty much what the actual co-op mode is, except with a party of 4, no?

Okay, but Mario's head would have been funnier.

The latter sells me on it a bit more than the former, but I'll probably wait to grab it until around Black Friday. Seems like a solid game to play in between Odyssey and Xenoblade 2. I'll be busy playing Monhan XX in a few days. Thanks for the extra info tho!

Aaahhhhh the wait is killing me. Maybe I should do something to pass the time, like for example go to work.

I haven't played it, but shocked IGN gave it a 7.7 when even the worst N games typically get 8-9s from them.

Well, it's not a Nintendo game. Also Dan Stapleton reviewed it, he typically scores more harshly than their other reviewers.
The game looks and feels great, but it does lack a slight polish to it that you'd find in a Nintendo game. It's mainly the UI and stuff that feels like the most "third party" thing about it.
I didn't actually get to try the co-op mode yet, but when I messed with that section of the game, it does ask you to sync separate controllers.

Does anyone takes publication seriously that give scores with decimal points? Like game A is 0.6 points better than game B. Seriously!
Only publications that thinks their readers are dumb as wood would even try to use such an score system.

Reminder that copies of the game do not contain the Pixel Pack code in Europe. Apparently you're supposed to receive the code from your retailer via email.
