FIRST!

Also, I feel he ragged on a bit much on the context around the game (Ubisoft and Microsoft partnership) and less on the game itself

Merchandising, merchandising! That's where the real money in video games is made!
Mario, the T-shirt!
Mario, the lunchbox!
Mario, the coloring book!
Mario, the Breakfast cereal!
Mario, the flamethrower! The kids love that thing.
And finally, Mario, the doll. [squeezes] "Mama Mia!"

 

[Silentpony_v1legacy]

Now I really want to see a Manhunt and Awesome Possum crossover...Maybe even Condemned and Fatty Bear...

 

[Igor-Rowan]

The thing that departs it from Xcom is the mobility system, you can trip your enemies, jump in your squad mates to land on a high place or enemy and get in cover, before or after shooting someone.

As to when Mario will meet the assassins, they would need to redesign one of them, so it could be either assassins in a chibi style or Mario in the style of that fan-made manga featuring dr. mario and bowser.

 

[BarkBarker]

Why haven't Mario and RAYMAN crossed at all? Of all the Ubisoft IPs, why not the platformer for a platforming crash up?

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

This games very existence baffles me.

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

Adding Pyramid head would pretty much be the only way to make a simcity game appealing to me.

Wait...this content isn't recycled from 2013. What's going on??

He does that sometimes. Did the same with GTA V.

 

[Unknown2010]

I kinda wish this game was worse than it was, because it's only gonna make Ubisoft think "oh wow! people LOVE rabbids!"

 

[bjj hero]

Why they picked Rabbids over Rayman Ill never know. Maybe because Rayman is the superior platformer?

...Maybe you were intentionally alluding to this but uh...

The schwartz is strong in this one.

I've gotta say, I think a short stubby assassin who moves and jumps like Mario would be pretty fun to play as. Also, putting Mario's goofy, saccharine spin on the franchise could be kind of funny.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

To echo some of the sentimente here, a Mario/Rayman cross-over would've made much more sense. They're both the leads of their franchises and respective mascots of their companies, on top of having more or less the same can-do personalities. Shoving in Rabbids is like making a Rayman/Goomba cross-over.

 

[Anggul]

And yet, a really fun game despite the rather pointless cross-over-ness.

I noticed he didn't actually talk about the gameplay much, just harped on about the weird cross-over thing. The gameplay is very good indeed.

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

...I would buy that city-management game starring Crash Bandicoot and Pyramid Head in a heartbeat.

Maybe cause there isn't much to say. I got a baby's first Xcom impression.
