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.

On one hand, it's a new Mario RPG(?) that's not developed by Nintendo and Snowdrop will apparently support Switch. On the other, it features Rabbids, I mean at least they're more animated than the toad clones everybody's so sick of.

If this does well and increases the chances of a Fractured But Whole port, screw it I'm all for it.

But ubisoft games are a broken mess. Imagine how broken the engine will run on switch

No Daisy, no buy.

I wonder if you want every game to contain Daisy?

It'll run about as good as it would on any other platform.

So you only will have 2 or 3 games for your ?

 

[supergamer368]

this news makes me highly uncomfortable and gives me indigestion.

More than that. Anyways, it's not like Rosalina is in this game either.

It sounds pretty nice, just not the fact that the Rabbids are in it. Could they not just make Super Mario RPG 2? Did they really have to add the Rabbids? Well, I'm always open to new ideas I guess.

I swear Nintendo treat Mario like Chinese treat panda, they are nothing but tool for diplomacy.

That's a really long stretch. Ubisoft isn't even bothering to release a new Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs 2, For Honor or whatever on the Switch so far.

This is what Ubisoft will be releasing on the Switch...

Good thing I have some bleach

Stop trying to be funny, drinking bleach is not funny

 

[Akiru_the_wolf]

Ah but I'm not! I'm being serious! I can drink it or pour it in my eyes. Either way I'll forget this failure that they're going to call a game.

Now hold on a minute. I saw "RPG" among that jumble of words. If it's in the same style as the "Mario & Luigi: series on GBA/DS/3DS, then I'm all for it. I love those games.

I just can't stand Rabbids. But a new Mario Rpg sounds great! But not with Rabbids

Rabbids are basically the Minions of Nintendo gaming. They were good for about two installments and then they became too much and became obnoxious, stupid, and a waste of time along with all of their merch being a waste of money. I know they aren't just Nintendo console exclusives but they were most prominent there with the "Raving Rabbids" series which is why I say they are the "Minions of Nintendo gaming". They also burned out just like Minions

An idea that should've stayed on the drawing board, it seems.

Precisely! It just isn't a good concept it's like putting Minions in some popular show; it just won't work because it's clunky and just a bad idea to do a crossover like that.

Like you don't want Minions in Steven Universe. Just because Minions was on Cartoon network a lot doesn't mean they're going to put them in (arguably) one of their only good shows.
