No surprises here: Ubisoft is working on Just Dance 2018, and it’s coming to Nintendo consoles. The real kicker though is that the Wii U and even Wii continue to live on, with the game heading to both platforms. Of course, it’ll be on Switch as well.
Ubisoft has opened the official website for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Access it here. It has plenty of gameplay details, information about the characters, and much more.
This is the story of an unexpected encounter between Mario and the irreverent Rabbids. To bring order back to a splintered Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Yoshi team up with Rabbids heroes in a journey through four different worlds.
Outwit unpredictable enemies in dynamic turn-based combat and co-op challenges, and solve puzzles along the way. Discover a feel-good and modern combat adventure designed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch™ system, playable anywhere, anytime, with anyone.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle comes out August 29, 2017 for Nintendo Switch.
Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi will join forces with four Rabbids heroes, each with their own unique personalities.
