Mario + Rabbids associate producer on using the Mario IP, the script, Snowdrop, why Donkey Kong wasn’t truly in the game, more

Gamereactor published a new interview today with Cristina Nava from Ubisoft Milan. Nava acted as the associate producer on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

During the interview, Nava talked about Mario IP, the game’s script, the flexibility of the Snowdrop engine, and why Donkey Kong wasn’t truly in the game. Regarding the final point, she explains that the concept of Mario + Rabbids is more about combining and fusing elements. They included the Rabbid Kong boss as more of a nod/reference with the shape, tie, and music instead of a Rabbid version of Donkey Kong.

Latest Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle update includes support for video capture

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 5 Comments

Ubisoft updated Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle about a week ago. Without question, the big highlight is the inclusion of the brand new Versus Mode.

The update also does at least one more thing that we’ve now become aware of and not really brought up elsewhere. Video capture is supported, so you can use Switch’s built in function to record videos up to thirty seconds long. Give it a shot if you come across something you’d like to save and share.

Mario + Rabbids creative director on Nintendo’s heavy involvement

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 4 Comments

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a monumental game for a number of reasons. Perhaps most significantly, Nintendo allowed Ubisoft to use the Mario IP and its various characters.

Leading the way on the project was creative director Davide Soliani. Throughout development, Soliani and the rest of the team needed to work and collaborate with Nintendo to make sure everything was just right.

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.

As we know, Ubisoft announced its latest financial results this past week. We have more information from the call that was held after the initial report was posted.

Early on in the call, Ubisoft said that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle outperformed its own forecasts. The game is also once again confirmed to be the best-selling third-party title on Switch.

It was also pointed out that the growing / successful install base on Switch should have many benefits for Ubisoft. As a result, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is expected to have a longer than usual sales curve.
