Forums - Nintendo - Remember the Internet's initial reaction to Mario + Rabbids?

FarleyMcFirefly on 13 June 2021

I'm one of the odd ones that just love the Rabbids. Their party games on Wii were so much fun. Go Home was also a fun game.
Of course I thought the match up sounded weird at first, but I never once thought that it would be bad "because...Rabbids". The game was phenomenal and I hope it turns into a full fledged series that maybe can crossover with other Nintendo IP in the future (Toon Link anyone?; or a full fledged Donkey Kong one because that expansion was so dang good).

I heard it was on sale for $5 recently. Every Switch owner should give this a go!

I still refuse to play them as I hate Rabbids and it's still not a sequel to Super Mario RPG. Not against the existence of this game but I am let down by every Mario RPG project not a sequel the one game better than all of them. Why not both?

I love Rayman and Rabbids.

Never gone on to play it do the Rabbids help the experience or would it better if it was all just within the Mario Universe?

Bold: you hate it doesn't mean the game is bad, in some ways it's even better than that game. But yeah, who am i kidding? It's futile to talk to a double standard guy like you.

The Rabbids are hilarious in this game.

Some people have been able to accept/appreciate that there have been good Mario RPG games (Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series) made without the SquareEnix collaboration.  Besides that, Mario vs Rabbids Kingdom Battle is an XCOM style tactical strategy game rather than a straight up Mario RPG anyway.

Always thought Rabbids seemed annoying but watching actual footage of them in action in this game, they were very charming! Definitely won me over!

VGC reaction to the Rabbids + Mario leaks was quite sad. I was practically the only one here saying that this idea had potential. Glad I was right once E3 came around.

I tried to find if I said anything here at the time but unfortunately I didn't, I guess I kept my negativity to myself.  Too bad, it would be funny to laugh at now.
