Mario Odyssey isn't the only Mario experience we'll be getting later this year.

Kotaku has recently leaked that the Mario and Rabbids crossover RPG is real and will be coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch later this fall.

Although the person who sent the assets asked us not to share them, they corroborate the existence of a bizarre crossover RPG that’s currently scheduled to come to Switch in either August or September. Ubisoft is developing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle on the publisher’s proprietary Snowdrop engine, according to the assets we’ve seen. The game’s selling points appear to be a) turn-based combat, b) two-player local co-op, and c) a goofy sense of humor. (The art we’ve seen features Mario and crew wielding guns that shoot laser beams.)

The game will apparently have eight playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and, bizarrely, four Rabbids dressed up as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach.

________________________________​

I for one, a completely unbiased person in this matter, think this will be the greatest game of all time and that all other RPG's should be canceled so that this perfect game can take the spotlight. I'd like to point out I take full credit for the existence of this game. It was made for me.

How do you even make an RPG out of that concept? Does Mario transport into the Rabbit Kingdom and save Rayman and Globox from the evil Rabbit queen? Also, Bowser is there for some reason.

Luigi probably opened another enchanted book again...

seems weird, but i won't judge. It could be okay, only time will tell

What were past Rabbids games like. I've never played one and am open to giving this game a shot.

The first 3 were party games, ala mario party. People were super upset because it was originally tied into rayman, but they dropped rayman by the third title. Afterward, the rabbids went on to be a mixture of adventure and platform games, with some party games mixed in there.

Most of the games are average but people seem to think theyre responsible for the "death of rayman," even though rayman origins and legends came out a couple years after the release of the rabbids games. The games are incredibly popular with kids and are also incredibly zany and cartoonish. Their humor is usually slapstick and random which is what makes them so endearing imo.

Unwatches thread

 

[SonicCloud]

i would say "ew rabbids" but who knows? we just need to see if this is a good game

 

[Bimmel]

I would like to celebrate with you chavo, but the last Mario & Luigi game was.. well, not that good. And the Rabbids? Sorry, but they're like little children screaming and running all around, being loud and annoying.

I like your profile picture though. :-)

 

[Plstic]

Not going to bother with this one. What were they thinking?

 

[cheuble]

Uh... Ok? Can't say I'm impatient for this one, but who knows? It might turn out to be a good game.

This game will make boat loads of money...........
......
Sadly

Game of the year incoming bois

Not so sure why so many people hate this. I for one thought the rabbid games were pretty funny and enjoyable. Adding Mario into the mix in an rpg format could be real fun.

 

[spotanjo3]

I don't know about it.. I will judge by looking at the trailer first. Therefore, I never liked Rabbids games, ugh!

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I'm DONE! F************

 

[DKB]

Holy fuck people seem more upset about the those rabbids than those minion things. Seems like they are the video game counterpart.

I enjoyed the Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii. An RPG about them? Clueless what to expect. Hope it's good.

Is anyone ever enticed to buy a game because Nintendo allowed another company to use their IPs? Like is this the deal maker for you?

Monster Hunter is another good example of a series borrowing the Nintendo IP.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I guess i should have seen this coming when i found rayman trophy in smash bros... but no I HATE THOSE RABBITS.

 

[vinipeix]

I'm all for a new rpg, specially one with nintendo characters
I dislike rabbids a lot, however
I'll wait a video of it or whatever to make my final judgement

I hope it turns out good
