Upcoming Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle DLC to include new world and hero
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 17 Comments
Ubisoft launched a “Gold Edition” for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle on the Switch eShop today. It’s nothing really too special since it just includes the game and the season pass.
There is something interesting in the listing, however. Ubisoft says that the DLC coming in early 2018 will include “an exclusive world featuring a new hero”. Unfortunately, no other details are provided.
The last round of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle dropped in October. It provided players with access to the Ultra Challenge Pack, featuring a new co-op campaign and five exclusive co-op maps.

Back in October, the first Nights of Azure 2 side story released in Japan. That same DLC has now been extended to North America and Europe.
In “The Foreigner in a Wonderland of Sweets”, Aluche is drafted into helping Eleanor explore the newly-discovered land to find the Legendary Cocoa Butter. The side story is triggered after you return to the hotel and speak to Eleanor about the “Wonderland of Sweets” in Chapter 3.
Even if you don’t own Nights of Azure 2, you can claim the DLC. Simply visit the eShop, search for the game, and scroll down the official page. You should see the side story listed as free. Go through the checkout process and the DLC will be yours.

European retailer GAME published its latest financial report this week. In the document, the retailer shares insight into Switch sales across the UK and Spain.
One big number is 469,000. That’s the amount of units that have been sold in the UK and Spain. According to GamesIndustry, this figure is roughly 49 percent of what the Wii managed to do over the same period, though one thing to note is how Switch debuted in March rather than the holiday season.

Thankfully, as we know, Nintendo is handling the situation with the SNES Classic Edition fairly well. Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told The Washington Post that the company is working to have a regular supply for the rest of the year. This also applies to Switch as well.
