You can't control the party or explore though?
I am all for turn based battles, I love them, but it is a hard sell if you cannot control the party.
I really want to see a gameplay trailer now.

Yeah... I don't really have high hopes for this game.

Damn! First Twintell and now that RabbidxPeach! Its getting really "hard" Nintendo!

The new images make the game come across as a full 3d mash up of the Mario RPG Series the's even a screen shot on the NS screen showing a full 3d Mario like world.

This looks a hot mess... I'm excited!

I'll take this random experimentation over some of the other bland, lazy Mario spin off we've seen in recent years.

It Could be Worse

The images are interesting. Idk how it'll work since it'll probably be developed mostly by Ubisoft with Nintendo supervising or not being as involved in the development of the game (though most likely publishing).
All I'll say is, we've had doubts with Splatoon, ARMS, Wii Sports, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, etc. I'm not even sure if Super Mario RPG was as highly anticipated before it initially released during its time. I'll wait to see more.

Edit: Also there was Pokemon Conquest. So don't count out these types of games.

This is so random, that's all I can really say right now.

Those internal documents reek of "#girlwood" Ubisoft in the worst possible way.

Did they just leak the gdd? This is how our presentation gdds look. Pitches to higher-ups/investors and other team-members but not intended for the public.

Especially with the intended release date and everything....

Once, just once i want to see actual Toad with that expression.
