Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

Developer/publisher Ubisoft (Milan, Paris) Format Switch Release 2017.

With so much attention paid to that stunning announcement at E3 2017 – when Shigeru Miyamoto walked onto Ubisoft’s stage and reduced Kingdom Battle creative director Davide Soliani to tears – it’s easy to forget about the game that caused it. Yes, the story is fascinating, one of Nintendo releasing its most treasured possession into the hands of a partner and rival. But so is the game that resulted from it.
