Great excuse to play the DLC to the first one. I loved the base game and bought the DLC day one but never actually played it. Hope this one expands on the over world stuff a bit and maybe pulls in other properties if they are leaving Mario worlds.

Please let me have a team of all Mario characters. Please.

Did not like that I was forced to use a Rabbid.

I should play Luigi's Mansion 3 lol
I genuinely didn't expect this level of graphics from the Switch

it doesn't look like something much more advanced than the original to me, and that was released 4 years ago. it's not surprising that they're able to get more out of the system after all these years.

Rabbid Luma is proof that the Paper Mario devs just love how Toads looks and it has nothing to do with a Shadow Mario Standards Committee lurking in the background.
Going by the text description, I'd guess those stars are actually "Sparks" rather than Luma. I guess Nintendo considered them different enough to be their own thing rather than Mario characters, in spite of them being clearly Luma references.

Hmmm. These look like they could be Switch Pro screenshots to me. The lighting in particular.

I really liked the original. Excited to see how they've been able to expand the gameplay, particularly the overworld stuff.

Loved playing the first game even though I never really got into the "regular" XCOM games, will definitely get this!

Nope.

That just proves my point. It definitely looks better. But it isn't some massive gap in quality.

The "THIS MUST BE SWITCH PRO" posts are ridiculous. Monster Hunter Rise exists. There is literally nothing about these screens that the current Switch can't do.

Hahahaha, the Switch Pro posts are hilarious. The standard Switch can produce graphics like this, easily. In fact, it barely looks better than the original.

Looking forward to playing this on my New Nintendo Switch it'll be higher resolution and hopefully 60fps*

*If I can get past the scalpers.

The fact there's not a whiff of mention of the Switch Pro in the leaked announcement tells me all I need to know; the Pro "rumours" were an inside job by Nintendo to flush out people with connections that have leaked Direct content in the past. It doesn't exist.

Bit of an underwhelming announcement, but stoked regardless! Been waiting and hoping for a Mario x Rabbids sequel.

I don't even know what to believe anymore. The MGS reference only makes everything more confusing, are you sarcastic or is some sort of elaborate hint?

Game looks amazing. Like many others, I played the original and it was really great.
Probably not going to buy this on launch tho. Made my mistake with it being one of the first Ubisoft games I purchased and buying it at full price and seeing it drop down to $20 later stung. But really looking forward to this, the pics look amazing.

Not everyone likes AC and Far Cry and more and more people are getting sick of 'Ubisoft-style games'. This news will be all over Twitter, so now people who usually don't really care for their open world sandboxes etc might tune in as well. I know multiple people who don't care for Ubi's stuff at all and weren't planning on watching, but love the first Mario + Rabbids, so who knows. They might tune in now.

Looking at Ubisofts sales numbers the narrative that people are growing tired of their games is pretty weird. FC6 is a way bigger deal than Mario + Rabbids.

it's just how ubi games works. if you have the patience you'll be able to get the game + expansion pass for less than what even the DLC originally cost. don't think i can wait for this tho.
