X-COM creator was asked to work on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 6 Comments
Julian Gollop, creator of the strategy franchise X-COM, nearly could have worked on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Creative director Davide Soliani had interest in bringing Gollop on board during the early stages of development.
In an interview with PCGamesN, Gollop stated:
“The creative director Davide Soliani is a friend of mine from Ubisoft. When I was at Ubisoft Sofia he was, and still is, working for Ubisoft Milan and I visited him a couple of times. We had conversations about project ideas… he was a fan of my previous games, like Laser Squad [Nemesis] and stuff like that, and he was really into his strategy and turn-based ideas from the beginning.”
Three years or so ago, Soliani gave Gollop a call and asked if he wanted to work on a project with him. It never worked out because Gollop had just left Ubisoft to start working on Chaos Reborn, and he wasn’t aware that it was Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Gollop may have ended up working on the Switch title had he remained with Ubisoft.

Certain GameStop stores found refusing to sell Switch without bundles, GameStop says it shouldn’t happen
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 20 Comments
Kotaku editor-in-chief Stephen Totilo reached out to a local New York GameStop yesterday to find out if the store had any Switch units available. Oddly, Totilo was told that he would only be sold the system if he purchased a $50 warranty.
Kotaku editor Cecilia D’Anastasio then called other GameStops and visited a few outlets. Four GameStop locations in New York City did have Switch units in stock, though would only sell them in bundles, which could include just a warranty and a game or a warranty, two games and a case. A number of employees said it was something they “had” to do.
