Rabbids Go Home On The DS

Mike Fahey — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:40:00 MDT

The Nintendo Wii couldn't contain the Raving Rabbids' first solo game, so Ubisoft is bringing Rabbids Go Home to the DS as well, with extra-added functionality for those who've upgraded to the DSi.

Featuring the same storyline as the Wii version, Rabbids Go Home DS trades in the console's Katamari-esque collecting gameplay for a puzzle-adventure format. The little screaming mutant bunnies work their way through 15 levels, solving puzzles in order to gather enough garbage to build a tower to the moon, which their vast collective intellect has determined to be their home.

Once you've completed the story mode, there's four challenge modes with twenty puzzles apiece, as well as a level editor that lets players create and share their own puzzles with the Ubisoft community.

As an added bonus for those of you with the DSi, Ubisoft is including My Rabbids, a camera-based application that allows players to customize their photos with Rabbids clip-art. It's not the most innovative use of the technology, per se, but at least someone is using the damn thing, right?

Look for Rabbids Go Home DS to hit stores this holiday season.

A Holiday Video From Raving Rabbids

Cards? Ubisoft don't need no stinking cards! They let video, and a freaky looking rabbid with a penchant for screaming, do their well wishing for them.

Party With Rayman, Party With Rabbids, Party With...Corey Feldman

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 07:00:00 MST

To celebrate the release of Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party, Ubisoft are holding a launch party. With celebrities. Or, "celebrities", depending on your standards.

On the guest list so far? Three Kardashians, a So You Think You Can Dance contestant, the Kardashian's mum and...Corey Feldman. Yup. Corey Feldman. But no Corey Haim.

Only Ubisoft could invite the Feldman and not the Haim. That is, unless they're keeping Corey Haim under wraps until E3, when they'll wheel out their AAA action-adventure, Jade-and-Patrice developed take on Prayer of the Rollerboys. Which is as awesome a prospect as it is unlikely.

Raving Rabbid Figures, Now Yours To Buy

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:30:00 MDT

Earlier this year, Crecente got hold of some delightful little Raving Rabbids figures from Ubisoft. Figures I tried to swipe, before he smacked the back of my hand and sand "no, naughty". Well fuck you, Crecente, you and your patronising hand-slapping. I'll just go buy my own, because Ubisoft have announced that the figures - made by NECA - will soon be made available to the public. What's more, there'll be five figures available: the four we've already seen (Sam Fisher, Prince, Altair and vanilla Rabbid) plus a new one, the screaming/plunger-wielding Rabbid, which you can see (along with the classy packaging) after the jump.

Raving Prince, Assassin and Fischer Rabbids

Brian Crecente — Fri, 30 May 2008 09:00:00 MDT

Ubisoft handed out packs of these four Raving Rabbids at this year's Ubidays. I'm not a huge schwag fan myself, but these managed to melt even my cold heart. And yes, we're sorry Ubisoft, turns out Sam Fischer did make an appearance at your show.

Rabbids Can Smell Wii Fit's Success

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 07:20:00 MDT

We haven't heard squat from Ubisoft on the next Raving Rabbids game. No announcement, no screens, no carefully-worded press release, nothing. Just this video. But after watching it, is it safe to assume that Ubisoft know which of Nintendo's cash-making coattails to grab next, and will be making the next Rabbids game at least partially compatible with the Wii Fit Board? You know the answer.

The Raving Rabbids Birthday Cake

Kotakuite Daniel P. sends in this great Raving Rabbids cake that his wife made for his son Damien's first birthday. The egg shape is very nice, but I wonder what the rabbid is made of? I'm going to go with fondant since it seems that's what all these things are usually done with, but then it is from Germany so who knows what amazing sugar concoctions they may have come up with. Well, whatever it is it looks great and the addition of the 1Up mushroom is a great touch. Happy Birthday, Damien, may you have many years of awesome mom made game cakes ahead of you. Flynn De Marco

Clips: Far Cry: Raving Rabbids Edition

In a brilliant show of cross promotion, Ubisoft has released this new Far Cry: Vengeance trailer featuring a special guest from another game. Watch out, those bananas are set to kill.

If only all game trailers could be this clever. Flynn De Marco

A Very Raving Thanksgiving

Mike Fahey — Wed, 22 Nov 2006 14:40:36 MST

I never thought I would say this about a Rayman title, but Raving Rabbids is one of my favorite games at the moment. I have this odd bunny fixation going on in the first place, and then the ability to hammer-throw a cow for points seals the deal. Game Videos has posted the latest in the addictive 'Bunnies Very Useful Scientific Facts' ad series, this time with a Thanksgiving theme.

I have no idea what you're saying, so here's some bunnies with some turkeys on their heads. Michael Fahey

Raving Rabbids Get A Blog

kotaku.com — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 12:40:07 MDT

Rayman Raving Rabbids has a blog. Yes, it's over at our stinky arch-nemesis' own personal Mordor, IGN. But it features lost of portly game progammers with the consistency of cottage cheese being mangled by insane, cackling rabbits. Which, frankly, is good enough for me. Florian Eckhardt
