What, you didn't really think that this year's big Rabbid release would only be on Wii, did you?
But while the name and story may remain the same between the two versions, the gameplay will naturally be different, with the DS version of Rabbids Go Home taking on the form of a puzzle-adventure game.
"Players will solve a variety of puzzles and brain teasers in an effort to collect as much stuff as they can to build a giant pile all the way to the moon," Ubisoft says in their press release. "The game will also feature an intuitive Level Editor, allowing players to create their own puzzles and share them with other gamers for more Rabbids adventures."
DSi owners get an added bunny bang for their buck with the "My Rabbids" feature, as the handheld's pictures can now be customized with humorous Rabbid animations.
The press release reveals further details:
The Rabbids first comedy-adventure will take them to the moon or bust! Those crazy Rabbids have an infallible plan: collect all the human stuff they can find, heap it onto a giant pile and literally climb home to the moon. But not so fast! The Humans revolt, unleashing the Verminators whose only objective is to exterminate the Rabbids. Rabbids Go Home game features include:
- The Rabbids First Puzzle-Adventure Game: The Raving Rabbids, using a shopping cart, will have to solve the puzzle of each level and collect as much stuff as they can to build a giant pile to their home… the moon!
- Same storyline as the Wii version, different gameplay: The game features a true story mode, including hours of puzzle-based gameplay.
- Stir up funny chain reactions in 150 brain teasers based on physics and funny Rabbids characters. The goal is to lead a shopping cart to the Toilets, collecting as many maximum resources as possible on the way.
- 15 tricky levels to actually build a huge pile to the moon: Test your reflexes and your skills with the stylus!
- Challenge mode: Four delirious challenge modes of 20 levels each, apart from the story mode and with different rules and objectives. Create hilarious situations by getting rid of those Raving Rabbids or making them fly! But be careful to not miss the TV show.
- Unique art direction: Encounter a cast of colorful, oddball characters (humans, Verminators, dogs, etc.) and explore a remarkable parody of the modern world!
- Exclusive level editor: Create your own puzzles and share them with your friends and the whole RGH community! Also download other players' puzzles for hours of additional gameplay.
- My Rabbids (only on Nintendo DSi): Use the camera to take a picture, and customize it with funny Rabbid animations to make your friends laugh!
Rabbids Go Home for Nintendo DS, like its Wii counterpart, is slated for a Holiday 2009 release. However, there's no indication of whether its release will be day-and-date with the Wii version.
