Ubisoft has announced the development of Rabbids Rumble exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. Rabbids have infiltrated the handheld console and will be back to wreak havoc in November 2012.

The wacky Rabbids have been let loose throughout seven different worlds and players must battle it out in-game to capture over 100 Rabbids and complete their collection. Rabbids Rumble is full of interactive mini games that fully utilize the 3DS hardware, most notably with the 3D and Augmented Reality where players will interact with the Rabbids like never before. This new experience causes Rabbids to surge from the floor, fly around and even battle it out atop the kitchen table. Rabbids Rumble also features multiple game modes including a solo campaign and multiplayer battles.

For the first time in franchise history, Rabbids Rumble will introduce an accessible and hilarious turn-based combat system. Players will be able to challenge their friends to intense battles mixing tactics with the Rabbid’s classic wackiness. Each Rabbid comes prepared with hilarious combat abilities and can be trained to become stronger for battles. Using the SpotPass™ function, new & rare Rabbids will be available to download to enrich each fans collection. Fans can also use StreetPass to compete in battles to unlock new Rabbids and items.

The Wii U is the single new confirmed video game console that will be showcased during next week’s E3, which will make Nintendo the center of attention as they fully-unveil their latest hardware. While the Wii’s online capabilities are not as robust as the PlayStation 3’s and Xbox 360’s online network, the Wii U will be an improvement.

The Nintendo Network was revealed earlier this year for 3DS titles, but Nintendo has not talked about it in detail. At this point, it seems like the Nintendo Network is just another name for the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection but expect Nintendo to discuss the name change and its online plans next week.
