Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Even though I expected Rayman or that girl from the opening cutscene, I think DK is the perfect choice for the new character, considering he's a dumb ape (Which I'm sure goes perfectly with Rabbid humor) and he used a banana as a boomerang. How clever of Ubisoft!

The best part of the reveal trailer was when he KO'd Rabbid Peach at the end. That was pretty hilarious.

Also, I am getting this game pretty soon. I think it'll be cute, charming, and great, and the visuals are reminiscent of a modern Universal/Dreamworks film, despite looking like Amiibo plastic.
 
Hmm, guess they delayed the DLC. Oh well.
 
I like :dk: and all, and I get that he is marketable as DLC, but I think Daisy or even Rosalina would synergise a lot better with the cast...

Oh well. This makes me hope that we get a nice sequel with an extended cast and lots of nice QoL improvements like choosing your entire party!

:(
 
Of course you would.

Also DK isn't just being added. He's the star of this DLC. To the point that you'll apparently be able to buy it standalone or as an addon.
 
Seems like DK will only be in the story expansion and not in the main game, unlike say...Daisy in Mario Run.
 
The jungle Smasher chasing Rabbid Peach with some sort of jungle Ziggys in the Nintendo direct mini trailer is way too big compared to its game model.

Also shouldn't this still be pinned? It actually has a reason to be unlike some of the other stuff up there.
 
I read a bit of that article and I read a bit of the older posts in thread.

Good lord we acted like dramatic fools who cry Armageddon, in hindsight.

I'm glad the game turned out the way it is, an excellent and a worthy addition to the Mario franchise IMO, not crash and burn. Hope they make more including a sequel. I'm also so glad the developers put quite a bit of heart and passion to it, it makes me feel bad we acted this way.

What a ride.
