It would seem that we will indeed be seeing a Mario / Rabbids crossover RPG game on Nintendo Switch soon; if their reliable source of information is correct. Apparently ‘Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle’ will launch this year; in August or September to be exact. The insider also claims that the game will be of an RPG nature with its unique selling points being a) turn-based combat, b) two-player local co-op, and c) a goofy sense of humour. The quirky crossover title will also make use of the Snowdrop Engine which is owned by the publisher of the unnanounced title, Ubisoft. The game will apparently have eight playable characters: Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, and, bizarrely, four Rabbids dressed up as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Peach.
Snowdrop! Drop top!…
This game is gonna flop!
How can you tell since the game haven’t been released yet, Xbot hypocrite?
Because it belongs it the trash!
Drop the top and put the heat on the floor!
The character roster sucks…
I would’ve rather they teamed up with Square Enix for Mario RPG 2 or even a Remake.
They have Super Mario RPG 2, it’s called Paper Mario
I’ve been wanting a true Super Mario RPG 2 for YEARS! I never considered Paper Mario to be the same series. It’s just TOO different.
I know that it’s not the same, but we have Mario & Luigi RPG Series (Superstar Saga, Partners in Time, Bowser’s Inside Story and Dream Team). They are all great games and have a lot in common with Super Mario RPG for SNES.
Definitely
Snowdrop seems like an odd choice. A game with this style wouldn’t really need such a high tech engine. If it does use it though I guess that gives no excuse for no Battlefront 2, maybe.
Southpark also uses the same engine, maybe it is just an engine that is nice to work on xD
Just realized I mixed things up.
Battlefront 2 uses Frostbite not Snowdrop.
Doesnt fifa use frostbite? If thats the case then BF can surely run on the switch.
I’m… mildly confused by this whole concept…
So they destroy paper mario they decide to give us an actual RPG but it has the shitty rabbids in it?
No thanks Nintendo
✌️
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I’m open to new ideas. If it’s good why not. not really into strategy games tho so if it’s strategy rpg that’s most likely a no go for me
Probably skip, but that co-op sounds good, will see. Probably skip. ^^
I bet everyone who doubted Laura Dale is feeling prreeetty embarrassed right about now!
Boi she still wrong first of all the guy hasn’t show any evidence that this is possible he literally just claims he has art of it but he won’t show insiders are garbage if they can’t show evidence I need physical evidence and data not some guy or gal just talking its gonna happen
Ugh, I think it would be better to have no game at all than…. this. Anything with Rabbids is revolting to me, even the Minions are more appealing.
Actually, a rabbids / minions crossover doesn’t sound that bad.
I hate Minions. I love Rabbids. Their humor is more European.
Exact opposite here. Rabbids look absolutely disgusting.
How can people skip a game there is no trailer for yet?
Because the concept of it is THAT over the top weird…
The Mario part of the game needs to be pretty dominant for me to buy into this idea. I can’t stand the rabbids, so I can see myself giving this a pass.
Turn based RPG and Co-Op mode plus humor? I am interested!

How can I get excited about this?
That’s a wonderful question.
Looking forward to it! An interesting crossover.
Rabbids are annoying, yes, but usually their games consists of the main characters despising and torturing them anyway so whats the big deal?
Also this is totally a small gateway for Smash Rayman
If the other party characters were actual Rayman characters (like Rayman, Globox, etc) then I’d be more interested. I just don’t care about the Rabbids. Never have. I find them to be obnoxious more than anything. If this were a game where you’d just be killing them, then I’d be all for it.
Maybe gameplay will change my mind, but I’m not counting on it.
This is such an odd sounding crossover.
I feel like Nintendo can be so good, and then turn around and just be so mediocre. I couldn’t imagine anybody is very excited for this game… another Mario spin off with ……. Rabbids?? I thought that IP died off years ago… Of all the games Nintendo could make… geez
It might be good so let’s not crucify Nintendo just yet. They could be using this title as a ” gap filler ” until the main guns arrive. Who knows…….if this game is a success, it may lead Ubisoft into fully supporting the Switch with its biggest titles but we will see
It might be a fun game, but lately nintendo’s Mario inspired rpg’s have not impressed. We’ll see, but if they make the story and characters an afterthought like they usually do, I wouldn’t get my hopes too high.
And what the hell is with this new setup here at MNN?? It’s absolutely horrible. The way it was before was perfect. Why is my username verical instead of horizontal. This setup gives me a headache and makes posts hard to read.
Ive been excited about this since the rumors started lol. It just seems like such a cool mix mainly because its so unexpected! I am genuinely excited and cant wait till its fully revealed lol
What’s wrong with you people!? Has anyone even played a Rayman’s raving rabbids game before?
