Nintendo At E3 2017: Mario Mania!

Between his crossover with Ubisoft's Rabbids and his own epic Odyssey, Mano owned this year's Expo!

THE REGULAR ROUTINE is fairly set and standard for a Nintendo E3 showing at this point: Announcements during an event/video on Tuesday morning, then the doors to the show floor open, then mass chaos unfolds at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This year, though, the madness got an early start! Thanks to Ubisoft's pre-E3 press event taking place on the preceding Monday, we got the wacky announcement of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle a day before the rest of the Big N's big news. The Ubi event also gifted us all with the image you see above: Mr. Miyamoto standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Ubisoft's Chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot, both of them wielding replica blasters from the game. Gloriously goofy.
