    According to the leaks, Ubisoft are developing a Mario RPG / Rabbids crossover. The game is currently planned for launch.

     

    http://letsplayvideogames.com/2016/11/report-ubisoft-developing-rabbids-mario-crossover-rpg-for-switch-launch-day/

     

    Some key quotes:

    "According to both of our sources at Ubisoft and Nintendo, on the day the Switch launches, it’ll launch alongside a new Ubisoft-developed turn based RPG, with the name suggesting it will be a crossover of the Raving Rabbids and Mario series.

    The game, whose formal title has not yet been confirmed but is currently under the working title “Mario RPG: Invasion of the Rabbids”, is being developed under the watchful monitoring of Nintendo, ensuring that it both hits launch day and that it conforms to Nintendo’s own internal specifications for how Mario characters and iconography should be presented."

     

    "The title is going to be one of the cornerstone trailers shown when Nintendo details the system further in January. Nintendo intends to pitch the project to consumers as a Mario RPG project in collaboration with Ubisoft, in spite of Ubisoft doing most of the work on development"

    via Polygon

     

    "Users may not actually get the full story depending on how they play this game and how they strategize and solve puzzles," producer Eiji Aonuma told Polygon. "Users are able to go to the very end goal without revealing why Link woke up the way he did and where he did. Whether you want to reveal the storyline and find out why Link woke up, or you want to just go straight to the goal, that's an option totally up to the user."

     

    When asked, Aonuma confirmed that a player could go directly to the final boss of the game from its opening moments if they wanted. However, he also stressed that he didn't view this as an ideal way to play.

     

    "Anybody who can go straight to the goal without doing anything else — there's two possibilities," Aonuma said. "Either they're a really good gamer, or they could be somebody that's a little bit crazy. But it's not impossible. I created the game like that.

    Absolutely horrible. Same as Esequiel - I didn't even know and I just wish that I'd kept tabs on the forum more. But I remember very clearly that he was one of the good ones - really passionate about everything he enjoyed: games, Liverpool, etc. We should all try to live our lives in such a way. RIP.

    Hello!

     

    It's been a while since we've had a writer recruitment drive, so now's your chance if you want in on all the free games and parties and stuff.

     

    Full info here. The short version: we're looking for staff writers, so that's (mainly) news stories, but also opportunity for features, reviews, etc. To apply, simply send me an email with a mock Nintendo-related news story.

     

    As clichéd as it sounds, the most important qualities are passion about writing about Nintendo and commitment. That said, we're hoping to take on a few writers, so you've got a great chance if you are interested.

     

    There are plenty of people here who have been intimate with our inner circles before, so hopefully they can testify what a great opportunity it is!

     

    Feel free to PM me if anyone has any questions :)

    I got excited that it was 'near to completion' until I realised it was a Miyamoto 'near to completion'.

     

    Bloody love Pikmin. I really think it's a series that has gotten stronger with each game. Will be thrilled to play the next one on whatever platform.

    Glad I didn't splurge all my Stars a few weeks ago like I almost did. Pleased the coin is 'only' 2000. Picked that up, and the endings CD. Spent my remaining 500 on the hanafuda 3DS theme.

     

    On top of the Captain Toad lamp, was it worth the last 7 years of religiously hoarding all my Club Nintendo slips waiting for this very situation? Yes. Yes it was.

    Oh my god, tower control.

     

    It's like someone made a mode just for me. I got into an 8-match winning streak when I first tried it yesterday. I felt like how John Numbers must feel every day

    I'hope I am going to like it :), but first let's hope the shipment has no problems :D.

     

    Whilst we're on the theme of third party Wii U ports, I would place Deus Ex Human Revolution DX absolutely at the top of the pile, presuming you've not already played it.

    The Carbon Roller seems really good on paper, but it was so frustrating when you realise it doesn't insta-kill like the other rollers. Guess it's very useful for covering ground though

    A new Dual Squelcher could well be relevant to my interests. It's one of my favourite weapons. Very satisfying to calmly pick off fools who've gone for short-range weapons.

    I haven't felt the need to read past the OP because I think Rummy hit onto it quite eloquently - I think people have a tendency to take it all too seriously/personally and lose sight of the fact that it's just an internet message board about video games.

     

    If there are 'sides' to it then I think all sides are guilty of this.

     

    You've got people on the one hand getting very eager to be defensive about things when it's probably best to just step away from the computer and go outside, and accept that not everyone shares your way of thinking about stuff - even if you think they're being narrow-minded or whatever.

     

    But you've got people on the other side who seem to take an odd pleasure in targeting aforementioned defensive types like some unhealthy high school 'Mean Girls' mentality. Probably just down to what I like to call the 'Thanks-bait' mentality. Again, it's probably just reasonable to leave it be.

     

    But I dunno. It's just a gaming forum and the internet can be like that. I don't really dwell on any of it that much because I know that if everyone was in the same room, everyone would be perfectly civil.

     

    My advice to pretty much anyone: I used to post a lot more a few years ago and I got in to plenty of stupid fanboy squabbles. I decided that it wasn't very nice getting in to stupid fanboy squabbles so I decided not to post any more. There would even be long stretches of not visiting the boards. It was very liberating and when I started visiting again, it was just so much easier to BOTH not get into defensive arguments AND not post pointless provocative jabs. If you're worried that you tend to fall in to the same sort of negative spirals, I would recommend doing what I did.

    Although it's hard to say whether the interviewer was using the term 'Metroid Prime game' in the broader sense to define the next console Metroid. Like one might say 'the next Mario Galaxy'.

     

    I don't think it is hard to say because the article only references the Prime games, Tanabe is just responsible for Prime, and he literally says in that interview that Sakamoto is in charge of the broader Metroid series and he doesn't know what Sakamoto is doing right now

     

    I'm being pedantic, but I think the thread might as well reflect what the story actually is
