Seems like they have been giving out lower scored in general compared to their peers lately. Every review thread i visit has IGN with the lowest scores compared to other outlets. Maybe im imagine thing but their reviews seem extra harsh unless its a GotY candidate lol.

Nice scores! I've felt pretty safe with my pre-order for a while though
What a wonderful outcome this is. Remember thinking there's no way this turns out to be anything other than awful when I heard about a Rabbids x Mario game.
Was sold at the E3 showing and super sold when the dev started tearing up after Miyamoto gave him a shout out. Just need a Switch now.

No it's his opinion on a rating average.... far from being something constructive and build from his perception of the game's quality.
Reviews are an indication, that's about it. You can't have a definitive opinion on a game based on scores. so I give his opinion a "decent" review
no seriously, like you're saying he was just making a remark based on his way of looking at reviews... which I find not the best but he probably wasn't trying to troll. Still it's not like he's being constructive or else in the discussion.

...hate me...
It's not about crossovers.
Mario + Sonic games are more or less shite. In fact, sometimes having powerful IPs to show makes you care less about the actual game because you'll sell copies based on fan service alone.
It's about quality... and that's what this game seems to surprisingly deliver. Praise the studio, not the brands.
It's more like 20 hours long.

Does anyone remember what I think is the first rumour for this game? I think it was a leaked list of sorts that said Yoshi X Rabbids...and here we are. Hah.
I wish it was still called Yoshi X Rabbids.

The long awaited Citizen Kane, perhaps?

Looking good. Probably not day one for me. I'm hoping it gets some Ubisoft style price drops in the coming months.

Yep
Citizen Kane is hereby known as the "Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle" of movies

Ah alright. Would be cool if the campaign could be played in co-op, but still, sounds good. Thanks!
Wish it has an online mode, something like Monster Hunter.
They can regularly update mission list with daily mission or special events for other crossover characters.
According to the Reddit review thread, the file size of this game is 2.3GB. Is it just me, or have a bunch of Switch games been insanely small downloads relative to their scope?

I'm guessing they compressed the audio/video a bit. Considering the Switch only has 32GB of built-in memory (and you have to assume most people aren't going to buy additional microSD cards), size is a way bigger issue on switch than it is on PS4/XBO.

Be warned, there's a fucking spoiler in the comment section.

Another great exclusive to switch's ridiculous first year...

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
I don't think the game has much CGI to speak of.
It helps when you don't have to worry about a ton of VA or FMV. It helps to keep the file sizes very lean.

Good reviews! I can't wait to get my hands on this and Kiwami. Both are on their way, so hopefully, they come in tomorrow morning preferably.

This thread just made me pre-order it. Right in time for my trip.

From watching videos on YouTube and Twitch, my hype for this game increased tenfold.
After getting my feet wet with this, I'm hoping to maybe jump into XCOM 1 and 2.

I still can't believe we are at this point. In terms of slapping a theme onto a genre I love, I don't think you could have possibly pitched a game I'd be less interested in. But yet here we are with me finding myself legit excited to play a game with fucking "Rabbids" in the title on Day One. How did this happen?

so apparently there is some sort of DLC bonus for pre ordering, is there a way to get that bonus via digital purchase via eShop?

Switch's Year One is turning out to be a hell of a year.

No way to preorder on eShop. Goddammit Nintendo.

Plus it's not like Mario games really go for high res, detailed textures or the like, over simple but clean ones. Part of what makes them so wonderfully scalable for emulators.
Happy to see the reviews though, definitely on my list for when I get a Switch.
