Odds are you were either on the fence about it or just had a lot going on four months ago (I know most of us on staff did with all the games that were being dumped!), but now you&#8217;ll have a chance to check it out for free.<\/p> <p>As of now, a demo is out on the Nintendo Switch eShop. The demo itself is fairly meaty, providing a glimpse of the intro to the game, as well as a chunk of the first area (Beacon Beach). This game still has life in it yet, as <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarioRabbids\/status\/1628802039923744769\">the Tower of Doom DLC is actually out today<\/a>.\u00a0More DLC is on the way too, <a href=\"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/seven-full-minutes-of-mario-rabbids-sparks-of-hope-gameplay-boss-battle\/\">including a Rayman add-on later this year<\/a>.<\/p> <p>If you do decide to pick it up as a result of the demo, you also have the benefit of post-launch patches, which have smoothed over some of the game&#8217;s bigger glitches (including a progress-halting bug for 100% completion).<\/p>
