SPOILER, DON'T WATCH IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME

this scene was SOOOO good

Still incredible lol. This whole game was pure genius. Who was the singer for this?

*ahem* if I only a dev were here to know how much we love this game and would love to see a sequel :)

Alright, its time to start that DK DLC now.

I think I'll finally give this game a fair try and buy the Gold Edition on sale. I'm confident it'll be worth it with Mario involved. Regardless, I'm almost guaranteed to keep wishing it was Mario + Rayman and friends instead of the Rabbids while playing.

My issues with the end game aside, I absolutely adored this game. My favorite feature probably was the freedom to respec and try out different tactics, the fantasic OST by Kirkhope and the fantasic gameplay.

Really hope we get to see a sequel soon.

Ciao Ravelle. With the End of the game or the fact that an "end game" is missing?

Please make a sequel, or at least another Nintendo collaboration :)

if there's going to be a sequel, give wario and waluigi some love too :)
their rabbid versions were cool but would be good to have the actual characters there too

The whole end had fun puzzle battles in creative ways with inspired bosses but at the end of the game they just threw a shit ton stone slab rabbits at you, you just had to survive and make it from point a to the finish as fast as possible. The bosses were always fun and were a puzzle on their own but the last bosses were just carbon copies of regular enemies with a little more HP and they behaved as normal enemies.

if you could tell a dev how to fix it, what would you say?

I'm not gonna tell a dev how to fix it because I don't know the reason why the ending is how it is and I'm not going to tell someone how to do their job, especially not since I'm not a developer. Hopefully the sequel will have a better wrap up and they'll figure out whatever problems they ran in to.

It's a fantastic game I really enjoyed playing from start to finish, nothing starts out perfect.

I wouldn't call Bwario, Bwaluigi and the Lava Queen bosses. Like you said, they are just extra strong versions of normal enemies made purposely for the last few levels. Aside from that, the last world had a unique midboss and last boss battle just like the other three worlds.

Did you try finishing the levels with the least possible number of turns or the community challenges? Those give a nice extra layer of puzzle-like strategy.

Oh wow you're here. I still get emotional when I watch Ubisoft revealing the game and your reaction. It's one of the best E3 moments ever and the game is amazing.

I love the passion you and everyone else showed for the game. It shows in the game. It's high quality and I always will tell people to play it. I hope we get more from you guys on this series.

Not at first haha, all is good. The game was among my games of the year and one of the most joyous games I've played in while. :)

everyone is hyped for a Mario Odyssey 2 announcement, but if i'm being honest i'd be way more excited for a Mario + Rabbids 2 announcement at this point. game came out of nowhere and stole my heart.

Droyd · Sep 2, 2019

The only problem with a possible 'mario and rabbids 2' is that the first was already so good that I don't think it needs a sequel.

I don't want the first game to feel redundant because a similar but slightly better sequel is released, if that makes sense.

If they go that route then I'd like them to tackle a new IP rather than Mario (like how they did DK dlc). Or a crossover between Zelda/Pokemon/Mario.

I want something new :p

Fans have already been asking for a sequel but imo it's better to do a new crossover and probably a different genre and return to M+R after 2-3 years.

Since the experiment was so good with the DK DLC, I hope the sequel is Zelda+Rabbids : Hyrule Battle, just to keep things fresh.
Rabbids Peach can stay.

This game would benefit so much from a sequel. More characters, weapons and interaction with scenario, more activities outside battle... They could just continue with the process of becoming a XCOM clone adding the missing mechanics and it would be great. Also looking forward for new Rabbid jokes and creative scenarios.

Thanks a lot. It's clear :)

I still can't bring myself to suffer the Rabbids, but I love that this game came out so well. I wonder whether ubisoft will ever make a sequel.

This thread reminds me that I need to play more Codename STEAM. I must be in the last third of the game.

I would *love* that.

Only problem is Zelda doesn't have many iconic and well known characters outside of Link, Zelda and Ganon.

As much as I'd enjoy a Zelda & Rabbids, I don't think it would do as well as a Mario & Rabbids sequel.

Pokemon and Rabbids, maybe. I can only imagine the monstrosity of Pokemon Rabbid's lol. So maybe not.

The humour is surprisingly great in this game. The Rabbids aren't nearly as bad as they are in previous games.

picasso · Sep 2, 2019

Metroid + Rabbids would be a pretty nice mashup. Rabbid Ridley would probably be a total beast.

I remember being really excited when this was announced, but I never got it.

I guess it's time.

It really looks like an enjoyable experience.

Fatoy · Sep 2, 2019

My favourite Switch game by a decent margin. Looks and sounds amazing, plays great, and is really moreish / compelling without being manipulative about it.

CesareNorrez · Sep 2, 2019

Just want to add my voice to the chorus of fans. It's a great game. I love the design from top to bottom.

It's by FAR, the best one on the switch and beyond. Sometimes I just turn on the console to witness a dawn, and then I save and turn it off. I miss it so much.
I felt happy like in my youth, when all the videogames were a big surprise.

We evolved them a lot form the past. But I do understand your point of view :)
