Pretty much this.

Like noone wants to see a company put out a bad game, but this stinks suspiciously like Ubisoft have licensed the Mario Brand to boost their flagging studio.
Mario = Big bucks, and when you're pretty much not putting out quality games you gotta look for those cash injections any way you can.

If it was just Gauntlet, but with Mario+Rabbids it might be a fun little romp
Looks like they're going for some XCom'y bullshit and that's just :psyduck:

I reckon Ubisofts problem is they overthink all the poo poo gamers want, when they should just keep things simple.

I will say it, an XCom lite could be fun and I would like to be surprised. It's just that what we have right now reeks of trying too hard.

There seemed to be a big focus on building large towers of characters

I've played through multiple Disgaea games and literally never did this. It's just a gimmick and there's plenty of other ways to do millions billions of damage to a target.


This is either going to be a day one buy or something I stay very, very far away from. :stare:

Nintendo lost me a bit in the WiiU/3DS era, so i didn't own those consoles.
However, with the Switcht, BotW and MK8D i am really getting sucked into Nintendo-Stuff again.

QUESTION: Do you know of any nice Video showing a little bit of the Splatoon 1 story/events? Unless they remake it for the Switch, i don't think i will get around to playing it myself, but i'm getting very curious now :)

If you never got in to the 3DS you're missing out on a ton of good games. A New 2DS XL(?) is $150, gets rid of the dumb 3D gimmick, but gives you access to all the 3DS/New3DS games.

I thought those dumb things stopped being a thing 10+ years ago.

They did.

And then Despicable Me happened. Minions are the same thing as the Rabbids so this is Ubisoft trying to cash in on that fact.

Gimme a Metroid game where Samus is in direct communication with a character who speaks "Like a Gearbox NPC" for the entire duration of the game.

She doesn't even speak or have inner monologues with herself she just has to silently endure this NPC for the entire game.

You have no idea how much I hate the trope of the offscreen supporting character constantly guiding the player by the nose.

I was having a little splatoon fun earlier and I've really glossed over in my mind how often the frame rate would drop in that game, moreso on certain maps (Museum in this case) which explains why the Switch version is locked at 720p. Though I'm still hoping for the docked version to get bumped up.

Gonna wait to freak out until after I actually see how the game plays and it's writing. I highly doubt Nintendo went to Ubisoft and said "We'll let you make whatever you want with no oversight using our oldest, largest, and most well known IP". Nintendo wouldn't let someone make a loving shovel ware game using the Mario IP

Counterpoint: The fact this marketing material exists and the game is far enough in development to release this year apparently

I'm glad to see that older 3rd party controllers can be updated to work with the switch. Having to get a brand new stick for the PS4 because of their stupid proprietary Bluetooth stuff was dumb.
