We decided to make all the toads the same, because it's important to protect our brand and the strength of the characters.

Unironically:

I think the Minions are annoying as poo poo but they're also insanely popular and Rabbids were Minions before Minions and were really popular. In terms of appealing to people who want goofy poo poo "Mario + Minions" is probably not a bad idea even if it makes me want to smash my screen.

point of order, being really highs whole purpose is to make unbearable things bearable, you're stating a tautology

We fight a rabbid who dresses up as Bowser or something. French people smoking peyote pitched the idea.

"I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

I really hate that they just gave everyone really generic sci-fi guns, it's really jarring and really bland at the same time. Mario games have like, four or five different weapon-y upgrades that would all have been a lot more visually interesting.

It is. This is just a brand mockup for something they're looking to put out. It's an internal feeler for a product line they're looking to start.

The Minions are perfectly fine as dumb cartoons for kids, the backlash is mostly about them being loving everywhere thanks to merchandising and weird aunts and grandmas inexplicably clinging to them as totems.

Ubisoft has put garbage games on every Nintendo system, it's not a great metric for the success of a console.

Ubisoft famously pulled Rayman Legends out from being a Wii U launch title for basically BS reasons.

It's really helped weed out people on my Facebook feed though

Post a Minion and your online self is relegated to the digital Gehenna of "still technically FB friends but I don't want to see your like 10 stupid reposts of dumb memes you find on FB groups a day"

*if you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best but it's a Minion dressed up like Marilyn Monroe*

They pulled Legends and kept Rabbids Land? No wonder they are getting bought out.

I have totally missed the Minion saturation somehow, I just know they were in Despicable Me and then a few movies after it. I've never seen anybody post one on Facebook or encountered any of the merchandise that I can think of.

Cause it's real loving good. You haven't even seen the great parts yet.

Horikoshi has this magic ability to make what should be the worst characters into the best (not including Mineta though he's garbage)

I wonder how long that gatchapon 'buy 20 blind bags to collect the whole set' impulse has been with humans. It's fun to think about Romans obsessing over little clay gladiator figurines.
