Does that mean Rabbid Kong will also be playable?

Jake Salmon, the creative director of XCOM talks about MRKB:

>“Playing Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, I had many moments where I laughed out loud, or felt a twinge of jealousy at a particularly clever mechanic, or felt that most coveted gaming moment: the exhilaration of a worthy challenge finally overcome. All of this happened in a game in a genre I supposedly know as intimately as anyone can.”

>“What a joy, then, to have another team come along and upend your thinking, showing you that there is always room to improve on old concepts. For example, in XCOM, moving a soldier is typically a simple case of running them from cover A to cover B. That’s how it’s always been, and it’s not something I ever thought of changing. Until I played Mario + Rabbids, that is, where movement is a chain of interesting decisions like springboarding off of your squadmates, sliding through your enemies, rolling through warp tunnels — all before you fire a single shot. Movement in Kingdom Battle adds a whole new layer of tactical interest to every turn. It jolted me into reconsidering one of XCOM’s design principles.”

>“Not that anyone should expect bright colors, talking plants and crazed forest creatures in the next XCOM. But don’t be surprised to see movement work completely differently. This, ultimately, is the delight of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle for me: to have a worthy competitor, or perhaps a worthy compatriot. When people make good games, everyone wins.”

based Soliani

I hope so, lad

BANANARANG

I mean, it would make absolute sense to give DK a counterpart.

what about Tom Phan?

And then he was decked for inventing Thin Men, right?

Why do western developers love DK so much?

>Salmon

He's da bess and there is absolutely no other video game simians that even come to an inch of how cool he is

...

What's the point of Yoshi and Rabbid Yoshi?

To be based environment control.

rabbid yoshi has insane mobility, 5 dashes and stone is broken

yoshi really only has super chance going for him. He has worse statuses than rabbid yoshi and ground pound friendly fires way too easily.

I hate that Nintendo has no special pricing for people that already own TF (Or the other Wii U ports).

Not surprising, but really, really sucks.

Push just seems so garbage and normal Yoshi's crit only seems useful if you're also using rabbid yoshi because everyone else has 50+% crit at that point. Hell R Luigi has 100%. the ground pound ability seems like nice damage but like the other user said seems like it'd be highly prone to friendly fire.

I guess that's a decent reason, even if it's only marginally better than some of the other characters.

what's your favorite character? mine is R Mario. he's a beast

I don't care. Rabbids are occular and audiatory AIDS. Do you think I want AIDS?

>Do you think I want AIDS?
No, because cancer already destroyed your brain

i bet the music will be shite though. that team wouldn't know donkey kong if he rapped in their face

You mean make him playable? Not sure I follow. Given DK is now playable, he might not have much of a chance even though I'd love that to happen. If there's any sort of pattern, Wario and Waluigi might follow suit since there are Rabbid versions of them as well comparable to DK, but their chance is a bit low as well. If I'm not mistaken, there's a rumor or leak of another DLC set for June.

Let's pray, my brother, anything can happen at this point.

DK64 MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!

There've been a few times where Yoshi's ground pound demolished a bunch of enemies for me.

I did think about Rabbids for more than 5 seconds.

>I hate the Rabbids, am I cool now?
>Says this in a dedicated Mario + Rabbids thread

Aren't you special.

Makes sense since Kirkhope did the music for that game too

Will you have to pay $14.99 for it I pressume?

Is it just me, or does DK look scrawny?

I noticed that too. Is there a technical reason they wouldn't want to make playable characters too big?

The movement is grid-based.

no. season pass costs $19.99

This game will never be known for anything else but that director fucking crying in public because he though people were going to hate it, but they didn't.

I think you've totally misread why he was crying.

Is it just me or does his model look a bit off at times in the trailer?

You are an idiot.

Hah! And everyone said this was X-Com lite. Even the X-Com guys loved this game.

>bananarang implied to be main weapon
>no coconut gun that fires in spurts
>no orange grenades
DEFEND THIS.

I can't, honestly, especially when we only got teaser footage to go off of.

It will probably be his best weapon

Gotta earn it cuz

This, the boomerang could be his secondary weapon like Mario's hammer. Coconut gun could very well be his primary.

When that DK theme kicks in

I hate that this game exists, but I got to admit the rendition of the DK theme in the trailer and how it swells when he throws the banana really gave me chills in a very primal way. I want a clean version of that music.
