Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope | NSW | 20th October 2022

That was a fantastic presentation. Really looks polished and everything about it seems like more and better than last time. Luigi and Bowser both look like great fun.

This and Bayonetta 3 for Christmas.

Feeling a Mario+Luigi+Bowser team

GameStop in the US is offering this:

This does look good and a lot more expansive than the first game. Maybe I should pick up the first game again. I would imagine it's not that tricky to get back in to when compared to Fire Emblem etc?

I think I had gotten to world 3.

Cheapest I have seen that Gold Edition is £65 at ShopTo, I may wait for this edition to drop in price before I pick the game up

Considering the publisher, it's very likely that price will plummet quickly post-release.

Based on the first game that seems very likely.

I've just seen this is called Galaxy Battle in Japan, which in my opinion is a much better sequel title than Sparks of Hope.

Hopefully the DLC is as good as Donkey Kong Adventure. I assumed it would be based around a Nintendo character, Ray-man hadn't even occurred to me, but makes perfect sense!

Wasn't expecting Rayman, but I'm good with it!

Amazon have dispatched my copy-should be here by tomorrow. Loved the first game and DLC

I utterly adored the first but I know it'll drop in price reasonably quickly, and as someone with a reasonably small budget, I'll take the savings over playing it at release.

Besides I've got 4 or 5 other games unplayed so it's not like I'll miss it. Looks stunning though.

I think I will wait it for Christmas.

I am keen to know how good the battle grid is and it's a little different from the first one.

My copy has despatched from Amazon as well :toot:

My copy arrived today from Amazon, will give it a go later

Amazon dispatched it really early for a 20th release didn’t they? Not that people will be complaining of course, but are reviews even out yet?

They despatched mine on Friday so nice and early! Not seen any reviews but I really liked the first game so expect this to be just as good

EDIT: Turns out reviews are out, currently 85 on Metacritic, got a recommended from Eurogamer

SwitchUp review is in:

This is really fun, only played an hour or so but the battle system feels like it definitely has been enhanced over Kingdom Battle and I like the fact they have no restrictions on who you have in your team (although its only been teams of 2 at the moment)

The maps look like like they will contain side quests as well as main quests and you can find these by looking at the map (not sure of you come across more secret ones if you search the maps as well)

Looking forward to getting stuck in more
