If you were to say to a Nintendo fan 10 years ago that Mario, Luigi, and Peach were going to appear in a video game alongside a cast of crazy ‘Rabbids’ wielding arm cannons and weapons, they’d probably tell you to be quiet and laugh in your face. Times have certainly changed and with the arrival of the brilliant Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle on Nintendo Switch, we could see more crossovers in the future.
Although Nintendo are (quite rightly) protective over their Intellectual Property, David Soliani from Ubisoft, who’s the creative director for Mario + Rabbids, talks about proposing new ideas to Nintendo:
“Every time you are proposing something crazy to Nintendo, they are quite open-minded, but you need a good justification and a good logic to create something in the Mario universe,” he explained.
Hopefully, with the great reception Mario + Rabbids is receiving and with Nintendo’s open mindedness, we will get to experience more crossover titles in the future.
You can see the full interview with Soliani here.
Were the Rabbids even a thing ten years ago, or am I just getting old?
Apparently, they were first unleashed to the world in 2006… wow. Now I feel old.
Yeah, rayman ravin’ rabbids on Wii launch haha… I like the rabbids they are funny, M+RKB is awesome , it’s so well done, one of the best games on Switch
10 years? More like 10 months ago
People that want this = 0, and babies. Actual babies.
buy this or daddy miyamoto is go na think we just want new super mario brothers 5
….Sadly that’s true with the stunts he pulled in the past.
I wish they hadn’t have been open minded to the abomination that was “Metroid Prime”: FedshitForce…

Have you gotten that virus that abomination has caused fully out of your system yet?
||No, it will never be deleted completely unless High Command erases it from Metroid universe…||
Sadly, I don’t think that’s gonna happen since Tanabe supported that trash & he’s in charge of Metroid Prime 4 right now. Not to mention he’s been involved with the latest trashy Paper Mario games of Sticker Star & Color Splash. That guy went from giving us Metroid Prime to pure, unadulterated trash. He’s fallen lower than Miyamoto & he must be stopped before it’s too late. Sadly, there is nothing I can do but hope he gets fired or comes to his senses but I don’t see either happening.
its been like a year since that game came out chill
There is no chill til that game’s events are retconned or erased entirely from Metroid history.
Mario + Ezio?

Nintendo is quite open minded to ideas? Grand Theft Auto Mushroom Kingdom edition when?
Pokémon x Digimon or Monster Hunter or Yo-Kai Watch.
Good and I’m loving it. It’s really satisfying getting past difficult challenges.
I’m already hoping for a sequel :)
Me too. Only thing I wish is tou can have more than 3 to a team.
