Create your very own Rabbid Figure!

Josh Thomas — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 08:33:58 +0000

Ubisoft has just announced a very cool feature to Rabbids Go Home. As you know the game features a detailed customization mode where you can create your very own Rabbids. To take it even further you can now have your in-game Rabbid creations turned into real life figures via their website! The only small problem is if you’re in North America it’s going to cost you a bit more cash to have your little Rabbids arrive in figurine form on your doorstep. One figure is $30 + $30 for shipping + tax. Is it worth about $65 to have your creation turned into a figure? I say yes, but I guess it depends how large and well made they actually are. Sadly the website leaves out the details. We’ve ordered a Figure of the Tingle Rabbid shown here. In 2 weeks or so when he arrives we’ll be sure to get an unboxing video up.

Interview – Rabbids Go Home Customization

Josh Thomas — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 00:29:22 +0000

If you haven’t guessed based on all the coverage we’ve put up, WiiFolder loves Rabbids Go Home. Is there anything better than the Rabbids, a shopping cart, scaring clothes off of humans and surfing through sewers on a mattress? No, there is not. Luckily we recently got in contact with Jean Philippe Caro the Assistant Creative Director on RGH along with Guillaume Cerda the Community Developer for RGH. Both were very happy with WiiFolder’s coverage on Rabbids Go Home and granted us a quick interview to discuss the game’s “In the Wii Remote” customization feature. We’ve even got an exclusive glimpse of some crazy custom Rabbids the team behind the game created themselves along with a possible hint at more to come from an unannounced aspect of the game.

Was the customization aspect of the game decided from the start or was it something that came in later in development?

It came very early in development. The game genre implies that the camera be positioned quite far away from the action, but to keep the Rabbids’ spirit we needed to get closer to them. That’s why we decided to put a Rabbid in the Wiimote so you could directly interact with him just like in Nintendogs and add an exciting touch.

You’ve given players access to a huge variety of paint brushes, tools, tattoos, colors, accessories and so on. It’s a very detailed and polished feature. How many members of the team worked on this mode and for how long?

It was a very passionate small team of 8 persons. We focused on the Wii Remote feature, the Wii Channel and an upcoming surprise.

Past Raving Rabbids games have had customization modes as well. Rabbids Go Home seems to focus more on allowing players to paint and deform their Rabbids as opposed to simply dressing them up in outfits. Was there a reason for this decision?

Today, many games have a powerful character customization feature. Little Big Planet is one of the best examples. We wanted to do something that gave a lot of variety, but was still ridiculous enough to fit in Rabbid Land. The bunnies were also inspired by street art so we also wanted to give the player freedom to express their own artistic talents whilst still being able to abuse their bunny a little in the process

There appears to be a total of 10 secret Rabbids locked in the customization mode. How can players go about unlocking all of them?

Two of them are unlockable directly ingame. The eight others need a specific code from several retailers.

Could you explain what ‘Stickers’ do in the Customization? It seems the Rabbids Channel features a section for them, but nothing appears. Do players win these in contests?

The Rabbids Channel’s section for stickers is made to give to players some free downloadable content to help them to customize their figurine for specific contests. For example, for the Rabbids Zoo contest we will provide some “fur” stickers, the cougar and the zebra.

After getting them, you’ll find them in the Wii remote feature using your normal stickers (page 0).

Be sure to check this section before each contest

Now that the game is out I’m sure we’ll be seeing many clever custom Rabbids from gamers. Were there any hilarious Rabbids designed by the team you want to share with us?

Many are too insane to be shown and others are celebrity bunnies that we are not allowed to show!

I would like to use this occasion to tell you that your bunnies are awesome. These are some of the best ones we’ve seen until now and it’s a pleasure for us to see the detail and time you have put into them.

Let me remind your readers that they can vote for you on the Rabbids Expo website: www.rabbids.com/izw

We would like to thank Guillaume Cerda, Jean-Philippe Caro and all of the team behind Rabbids Go Home for their time and support. Stay tuned to the site for even more coverage on Rabbids Go Home… Bwaaaaaah!!!
