I used to LOVE the Minions........Until they slowly lost whatever charm they had with each passing film. It soon dawned upon me that the Rabbids actually are superior to the Minions in terms of the style of humor that they use and the fact that they actually contribute to the plot. Also, the fact that the Minions are EVERYWHERE is pretty annoying and just feels greedy and cynical.
You know, I can honestly see this game becoming a series with the Rabbids traveling through different Nintendo worlds and accidently causing havoc. It would be the perfect way to keep the Rabbids relevant and offer more oddball crossover and interactions with other Nintendo properties. However, it would it have to be properties that are just as cartoony as the Rabbids like Splatoon or Kirby or Animal Crossing.

@@JONES99679 You probably just don't have the brains to be able to play this game. 🤭 The gameplay looks simple but even veteran Tactics players will definitely have their gears in their head run in max load.
The DLC I'd want would be an expansion pack centered around Wario and Waluigi, with extra story bits centered around them, and containing new battles, enemies, and most importantly, Wario and Waluigi as playable characters.
Bruh do you KNOW how much dlc it got? Maybe even a little MORE than needed... (I like the game this is not a hate rant just facts. I literally 100 percented my file.(to the point where it became gold.)
Duster the Master Thief i agree. I found that odd. World 3 also has the best scenery. I found myself stopping and looki g around at all the halloween decorations.
Enjoyed the video! It's interesting to me that you played 90-95% of the time with Mario/rPeach/Luigi. I was curious so I went back and looked at my own stats, and it turns out that I used that combination only 10 times throughout the whole campaign (and only once in the final world). I've watched streams where different people (including the chat) had different approaches. Even watching your video, you seem to value hero sight, while I thought It was only situationally useful because of smashers being in many battles; in fact I used Luigi's 3x steely stare only once! What's great to me about this game is we each apparently played it in our own way and still had fun, and the game allows for that.
This was a great review. IT was unbiased and informative, entertaining and fun to watch, and you weren't afraid to not try to appeal to either side of the spectrum when it comes to reactions for this game.
You should give rabbid luigi a second chance. A fully upgraded vamp dash can deal 160 damage and get 80 percent of it back, the rocket is great at destroying cover, teammates can heal from vamped enemy's making him a good healer, and a shield that stops damage and side affects and a weaken ability make him an op character.
The quality of life choices the game provides on movement, resetting skill trees, being able to equally upgrade characters that you don't play as, and many others, are the kind of stuff that revolutionizes a genre. It's the kind of stuff that only new developers can come up with and veteran developers will look back and think "why did we even do it like that?". This is such a landmark title for this reason a many others.
Sorry Reggie the people have spoken While you were there laughing with the Rabbids helping make Mario and Rabbids Mark Cerny here is making history with KNACK 2 BABY!!!!!!
I'm loving this game atm, great gameplay, outstanding music, great graphics, cool, funny story, charming characters, this may be the super Mario RPG of this generation. it even feels like the Paper Mario we will never get again.
13:19 his base damage is very low, but his late game weapons have a 100% stone or vamp chance (I choose stone because his dash can vamp), meaning he can consistently do 350 damage per hit, while skipping the enemies turn. Combine that with his shield and weaken, and his 160 damage dash that inflicts 100% vamp, and you have a busted Healer/Tank that can stun enemies, reduce damage, and heal your team, all while dealing lots of damage with crits lots of damage. A very busted character late game imo. He also goes well with Rabbid Yoshi, who can block 2 hits every 2 turns, has decent hp, and some of the highest firepower and best Super Effects in the game (even if he does have low crit chance)
Bulldozer Rabbid Luigi has a pretty bad weapon, sans the rocket launcher. But his strength is in his Vamp Dash, which applies the Vampire Status effect and when upgraded, hurts real bad. (160 is probably the highest damage from a single dash. Though I have not unlocked yoshi yet...)
I was pleasantly surprised how fun this game is, though the camera limitations are probably THE most annoying aspect of it, followed closely by the requirement to finish a chapter in order to save and quit.
Characters that can apply vamp or have vamp guns are also a different type of healer and usually a lot more effective healers as well. Literally half the roster can heal your other allies, two are direct healers while the other two are in-direct healers that rewards being aggressive. So there is quite a bit of strategy you can do with your party.
I LOVE this game- one of my favourites ever. I took a chance as it was a v cheap download and I subsequently bought the Donkey Kong DLC. I really really hope there’s a full sequel!
I bought Kingdom Battle since I could not find any decent games at that time. This game gave me a big surprise. It is waaaay better than I was expecting. Even until now, I was thinking that this game is waaaaayy under-hyped. I do not really like Ubisoft (not yet as much as I hate EA) but this game is a big surprise to me.
It may be over a year later, but you sold me on this game man. Love your reviews and vids as a whole Arlo (which you obviously won't see this since the vid is over a year old lmao)
Braden Allan he'll probably end up dead from hype overdose by the time the game starts and have to make another attempted deal with the Grim Reaper to review the game together or something.
inarjollyhound they're the same people really. Don't think this game is good because Mario is in it, I played it for 20 minutes and got bored. The Switch is certainly Nintendo's worst console of all time imo. Overpriced iPad system with no games.
This doesn't have anything to do with Mario. Minions are lazy filler to pad out movie time by acting like incompetent goons. Rabbids are a force of chaotic destruction. They don't work for anyone, they just do what they please and drive the world into disaster. The only reasons I see for hating the minions is salt as a result of them taking Rayman's spotlight during the wii era.
Folks if your wierdly here in 2022 buy this game NOW! This amazing game goes for greats prices such as 20$ for that 20$ its fully worth it. Full price? Not as much but its still an amazing game!
I really hope they release dlc characters from other nintendo games, like if some amiibos were sucked in to the world and you could play as shulk rabbid or something. It could also make it better for amiibo owners, as you could get the normal character for free if you have the amiibo but for ubisoft you would still have to pay for the rabbid version
If you go through all the Perfects and Challenges you'll start using all the characters- Everyone has at least 1 thing that sets them apart. (Yoshi's groundpound, RMario's exploding dash and RYoshi's huge movement range, shields and dashes)
The music being too underplayed or just orchestral noise has been a problem with Grant's style for years now. He simply doesnt want to let orchestra go and tries to be the next Pixar or some shit. All i want are catchy N64 style tunes and its obvious hes capable of that in this game but it rarely happens.
Is it bad that he wants a game to have a Pixar like orchestra soundtrack? I mean the movie style orchestra kind of complements the very expressive character animation in the cutscenes that is almost movie quality. Besides, if there was no orchestra some of the soundtracks in the game would not sound nearly as good.
Hes the kind of person who uses orchestra at every chance if its possible because thats just how he shifted over the years. You saw it happen with Viva Pinata but he really got into it with Nuts&Bolts. Its also why Yooka Laylee has such unmemorable weak ass music. This game at least has more catchy melodies than that one.
I am having some serious fun with this game. Some of the crazy things you can pull off during your turn are just epic if you really think about it and bounce all over but I agree it would have been nice to leave Mario out.
Arlo, if Arlo Plays is still a thing, I think a playthrough of this game would be realy cool and fun. I don't expect this to happen, but I would be STUPID excited if you did.
Interesting that you bring up the increased focus on what happens within a turn vs trying to think about the entire engagement; that's pretty much the pedantic meaning of tactics. So this is a tactics game that really emphasizes tactics over strategy. Interesting!
5:59 what I would like for the music is techno or dubstep music, MIXED with ether traditional mario music or the orchestration. I thought this would fit, because of the UI/HUD and various elements in the game have to do with advanced technology.
There is a very obscure nod to odyssey in this game. After you get the second power up, the robot will say "Odysseus would be proud" refrencing the main character from Homer's epic: The Odyssey
18:28 is so heartwarming. Imagine being stuck on a franchise like Rabbids, which as you said are just Minions (who are annoying as fuck). Then, you get the chance to work on a Mario game. You go from stupid party games and toilet humor to being able to make a turn based strategy game with Mario characters, and then Miyamoto himself shows your game off at E3. That would be a dream to any video game developer and even though I don't have a Switch, I'm so glad this game is getting good reviews, just for that man alone.
I agree they do really suck I just can't stand those yellow idiots rabbids are true winners Minions are just ugly to look at and I hope they get killed off by illumination one day Minions have no redeeming qualities whatsoever Rabbids are way funnier and less ugly
RandomRiot Productions I like it! I'm not sure if 60$ is the right price though. 50$ would've been perfect. But, if you're interested, I think 60$ would be fine
This is by far my most pleasant surprise so far on the Switch. We knew Mario and Zelda would be great, but I remember how many people had tilted heads like confused dogs when this game was announced. I bought it along with Zelda as my first two games for Switch (before Odyssey was released) I enjoyed just about every second of this game. Arlo's review is almost exactly my experience. GREAT game.
I JUST started playing this, and I’m already hooked. As far as games like this one are concerned, I’ve rarely had the patience for them; while I enjoy games that require some level of tact and strategy, turn based combat is something I just couldn’t get into outside the Pokémon franchise. Mario+Rabbids, however, breaks the mold for me: It’s wonderful graphics and more laid back disposition are appealing to me, and the fact it has such a self awareness concerning its outlandish scenario makes it all the more enjoyable. It’s a game that knows what it is, and just wants have fun with the concept. Between this, Doom and Splatoon 2, and Breath of the Wild, the Switch has brought me joy and entertainment from three different game genres (tactical combat, shooters, and open worlds respectively) I’ve rarely to NEVER had any interest in. It’s a real testament to how far Nintendo (and the third parties supporting them) have come, and how much they want to get things right this time around.

Enjoyed the video! It's interesting to me that you played 90-95% of the time with Mario/rPeach/Luigi.

I've watched streams where different people (including the chat) had different approaches.

18:28 is so heartwarming. Imagine being stuck on a franchise like Rabbids, which as you said are just Minions (who are annoying as fuck). Then, you get the chance to work on a Mario game. You go from stupid party games and toilet humor to being able to make a turn based strategy game with Mario characters, and then Miyamoto himself shows your game off at E3. That would be a dream to any video game developer and even though I don't have a Switch, I'm so glad this game is getting good reviews, just for that man alone.
Last time somebody commented that Arlo was just a human being operating a puppet and speaking in a funny voice. This isn't true is it?
No that bad person is lying
Wow, Jirard and Arlo uploaded about the same game at almost the same time!
Rabbie Luigi is the best character in the game lol
Why is Rabbid Luigi in this game in the first place? I thought he was busy making UA-cam Videos.
Vampire Rabbid Luigi + Rabbid Mario = Total Destruction. Ending Soooooo many maps at full health.
It would be nice to get an alternate mode or something that allows you to swap out Mario. Like, the same campaign, but not necessarily with Mario.
Like what Kirby Star Allies did with the Guest Star thing? Yeah, that would be pretty cool. :)
I saw a blue puppet creature and subscribed instantly, a reflex I didn't even know I had.
Arlo reviews are the best and haedox reviews.... well is interesting how negative they are going to be
Me coming back to say I love this game so much, ahhhh the memories of it 😂😭😭
Minions suck....
I agree they do really suck
I just can't stand those yellow idiots rabbids are true winners
Minions are just ugly to look at and I hope they get killed off by illumination one day
Minions have no redeeming qualities whatsoever
Rabbids are way funnier and less ugly
I don't hate them. But I don't like minions either
I never though I'd live to see a mario rabbids crossover with xcom esque combat
I wanna get this game so bad. Not sure if I wanna pay $60 though. Can anyone tell me if it's worth it?
RandomRiot Productions I like it! I'm not sure if 60$ is the right price though. 50$ would've been perfect. But, if you're interested, I think 60$ would be fine
Okay thanks! I'll save up!
This is by far my most pleasant surprise so far on the Switch. We knew Mario and Zelda would be great, but I remember how many people had tilted heads like confused dogs when this game was announced. I bought it along with Zelda as my first two games for Switch (before Odyssey was released) I enjoyed just about every second of this game. Arlo's review is almost exactly my experience. GREAT game.
Forcing Mario upon players was definitely an error.
I JUST started playing this, and I’m already hooked. As far as games like this one are concerned, I’ve rarely had the patience for them; while I enjoy games that require some level of tact and strategy, turn based combat is something I just couldn’t get into outside the Pokémon franchise. Mario+Rabbids, however, breaks the mold for me: It’s wonderful graphics and more laid back disposition are appealing to me, and the fact it has such a self awareness concerning its outlandish scenario makes it all the more enjoyable. It’s a game that knows what it is, and just wants have fun with the concept. Between this, Doom and Splatoon 2, and Breath of the Wild, the Switch has brought me joy and entertainment from three different game genres (tactical combat, shooters, and open worlds respectively) I’ve rarely to NEVER had any interest in. It’s a real testament to how far Nintendo (and the third parties supporting them) have come, and how much they want to get things right this time around.
