I don't really get how anyone older than 10 can tolerate Rabbids. They're like the og Minions. Maybe they've just changed since the Raving Rabbids series though.
- It's a great game despite them, but I can imagine their presence only hurt their sales given their target demographic. Tactical RPG fans don't strike me as rabbid fans.
  
  It's not for tactical RPG fans. It's dumbed down for casual audiences.
  Not enough to be unfun for most genre fans, but it's definitely not made for them.
  
  It worked for Worms shrugs
- I like them.
  Rabbid Peach is hilarious.
The original was a great game, but I bought it for about $20.
I'll be buying the new one when there's space in my backlog, but it's probably already been lowered to about $20.
I'll wait until I can get a good deal on the bundle (with the DLC or whatever).
I’ve literally never seen it not on sale so… no wonder..
It’s a cheap (in switch terms) game for parents to get their kids.
- I bought it last month on sale. It was on sale, but kind of weird, the game itself wasn't on sale, nor were the dlcs, but the game with dlcs was on sale (and was cheaper than just the game).
  I like the game. Reminds me of ufo-enemy unknown from way back.
Turns out not all games are worth $60?
For how long tho.
Don’t understand why Nintendo won’t just let Rayman go
- It's really Ubisoft's call, not Nintendo's.
  
  I think they would be foolish to let the property go. IMO recent 2D Rayman games have been borderline classics but even if you don't like them then there is business logic in keeping a mascot alive; see Sonic and Sega.
- Rayman, the original, was actually initially being developed for the Super NES.
  Later, versions of the original Rayman would be released on Gameboy.
  Rayman was also on the Sony Playstation, which itself also has a history with Nintendo as it was originally being developed as the Nintendo Playstation.
  So, Nintendo literally has an actual long history with Rayman. What's next, they should drop Sonic the Hedgehog, too?
  
  Gee idk are they still developing excite bike or any other number of old games?
  It’s obviously not that popular if people just aren’t buying it. Why Nintendo continues to pour into those game when abominations like Pokémon are still as bad as they’ve always been if not worse on next gen consoles.
  You’re entitled to like what you want and that fine, I just don’t get why Nintendo won’t let it go
