Now Nintendo is leaking Rabbids games

 

[amigastar]

Is this the sequel to the Xcom style mario game?

Yep!

 

[worldwithpyramids]

Nice, a sequel to my favorite Ubisoft game. Can’t wait.

 

[Zannegan]

Was this supposed to be revealed early, or did I accidentally time travel again and miss the Direct on the 15th?

If the latter, did they announce the Switch Pro?

I would assume it was supposed to be revealed tonight in Ubisofts conference.

 

[Kuranghi]

Surely thats an accident, what a bizarre way to reveal it. Graphics look really nice in the screenshots and it looks like its more of an actual open world now, maybe with direct character control, because although the roomba guy is still in the shots, he's not at the front in some of them, so maybe you can choose who leads now.

I bought Kingdom Battle when it went down to 13 quid on a sale and the gameplay just wasn't for me, and while the visuals were great (really good rendering style for Switch, reminds me of what they achieved with LM3) and I have no isses with 30fps generally the lack of motion blur/way they handled the frame pacing at 30fps was REALLY jarring and unpleasant, this was on an LCD that makes low fps look good compared to most TV sets, on OLED it must've been sickening to pan the camera, no hyperbole.

Hopefully they have fixed that aspect of the presentation because even if everything else about this sequel appeals to me thats actually enough to put me off it was that bad.

 

[RookX22]

Cant wait for this, 100% the first. If a switch pro and another big title gets announced I will be happier than a pig in slop.

 

[Jermare]

Oops

 

[Mister Wolf]

Even the Xcom developers were impressed with the last game's mechanics.

 

[Punished Miku]

The first game is great. The DK DLC expansion is somehow even better.

Honestly expecting this to be very good.

 

[Birdo]

A gentle reminder to not pay full price for this.

The last one hit bargain bins just weeks after launch. It still one of the cheapest (Big budget) Switch games you can buy (That and Rayman Legends).

 

[Chukhopops]

First one was great, I’m in. This rabbid Luma and rabbid Rosalina are amazing.

 

[Kazza]

I don't have a Switch, so never played the original, but as a fan of X-Com and similar strategy games, this always intrigued me.

While I'm glad there will be another entry in the series, it seems like a bit of a missed opportunity to me: I would have preferred a the rabids teaming up with a new Nintendo franchise for each game (i.e. Zelda characters for this one, then Metroid etc)

Bargain bin suggests that the original didn't do so well sales wise, but in that case why are they doing this sequel?

It's certainly a budget title now (just 16 GBP on Amazon UK brand new, whereas the likes of Odyssey/BotW etc are still full price)

 

[VN1X]

Really enjoyed the first game but never finished it. Maybe I should go back and pick back up where I left off.

 

[Astral Dog]

Maeio x Rabbids is one of the best games on Switch

 

[Davevil]

 

[Smether]

Kingdom battle was great. As a gamer, I'm happy to see not only a sequel, but that Nintendo was pleased enough to keep letting third parties make games with its IP. I want to see more of that in future. Respawn Metroid game anyone?

Im sure it did pretty well for a strategy game, easily more than 1 million copies shortly after release but idk the exact numbers

I'll definitely pick it up once I eventually get a Switch (even though I'm not a fan of the rabids characters)

 

[Kuranghi]

This guy seemed really genuine, good guyyyyyyyyyyy, he wore his heart on his forehead during that presentation. He deserves a sequel with how this game was received with the amount of pressure that was on him from the get go.

Mario has a little history with third parties, remember that Square Enix Mario game? Besides the RPG they made some sports game for 3DS Mario was playing basketball with Moogles.

Anyways they gave Metroid to Mercury Steam after being impressed by their tech so we will see how that continues

 

[Eanox]

excited for the game and here’s hoping for a CE again.
2022 shaping up a great year for games.

 

[Robb]

Not my type of game, but still nice to see this get a sequel. Hope it turns out to be great!

 

[NewYork214]

Loveddd the first game. Definitely my favorite switch game so far

 

[BlackTron]

God I'm a slacker I still need to play through the first one. I played like 5 levels 3 years ago. I better get moving I have a feeling this isn't the first sequel coming that I'm not ready for.

That's every non-AAA Ubi game. It's a bit surprising how Nintendo let its price drop so quickly and steeply, though.

 

[Javthusiast]

Leaked footage of Nintendo employees demise by hands of the assassin Yves hired.

Or do pay full price and support good games

 

[UnNamed]

Very curious, the first game was really well made, very funny and deep.

 

[carlosrox]

Really hope this isn't in jest cuz this moment was truly great and touching.

---------

Well I'd be lying if I said I didn't want them to be making something different as a sequel to this game feels sort of....late at this point? I kinda expected it to happen before, not now.

Anyways the first was a great game so I can't complain. I'll be getting this for sure.

 

[Derktron]

Nice, a sequel to my favorite Ubisoft game. Can’t wait.

That's not filled with the usual garbage of Ubisoft formula.

 

[Sp3eD]

First game was fantastic. Looking forward to this one,

 

[TLZ]

Absolutely excited for this one!

Thanks for the leak Nintendo.

Both are great. Yeah Ubisoft loves to collapse their prices fast

 

[Danjin44]

The only Ubisoft game I ever enjoyed, they put actual passion behind that game unlike most other Ubisoft games.

Definitely looking forward to this.

You should play some Rayman.

Not sure why they’ve announced this now instead of their e3 direct.

It was supposed to be. Nintendo jumped the gun

 

[Captain Toad]

Great game. Would have been better without the Rabbids crossover though.

What's the story here?

 

[Kuranghi]

What's the story here?

He was crying because it was fulfilling a life long dream to work on a Nintendo game, or a game containing Nintendo properties. Miyamoto was on the stage promoting it with vigor too, so that probably broke him.

TBH, if it is as good as the first, it's worth full price. I could see holding out for the "GOTY" edition with DLC included, though.

I played Rayman Legends but I'm really not in to that nickelodeon artstyle.

The DLC was actually worth it

This is a heart warming story. Thanks for filling me in!

Also the game leaked early. The reception to seeing Mario next to deformed rabbids without context was not kind. He probably thought his career was over. Then it got unveiled and was received extremely well.

 

[AJUMP23]

Nintendo leaking this is pretty funny. I enjoyed the first one. I played through it on a tour bus in the Balkans.

I guess leaking the game has become tradition now.

 

[daclynk]

Is this the sequel to the Xcom style mario game?

didnt know that, sounds good. is it?
