Earlier today, Ubisoft shared its latest financial results. In doing so, the company declared itself as the leading third-party publisher on Switch. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is currently the top-selling title on the platform for third-party releases.

Ubisoft spoke further about Switch during its financial call. CEO Yves Guillemot stated:

Ubisoft reported its Q3 2017-18 financial results today. In its report, the company said it’s the console’s leading third-party publisher. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle ranks as the top-selling third-party title on Switch.

Switch accounted for 6% of Ubisoft’s sales for the latest financial period (Q3). For the nine-month period of 2017/18, that number was at 8%.

Ubisoft has prepared a new behind the scenes video for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. In it, fans are provided with a look at the challenges musicians faced in creating the music for the Switch title, and we’re even able to see what it was like recording music with an orchestra in Prague. Check out the full video below.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole

Ubisoft’s South Park: The Fractured But Whole is a game that has sort of been rumored for Switch. It’s been listed by a couple of retailers, though ones we haven’t been entirely confident in.

Another listing for South Park: The Fractured But Whole on Switch has now popped up over on Amazon Mexico. It still doesn’t mean that this is absolutely happening, but it’s becoming tougher to ignore the initial speculation.

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is off to a strong start in Japan. During the week of January 15, it was the market’s top-seller. Media Create reports first week sales of 67,000 units.

Media Create further states that Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle sold through 78.26% of its initial shipment. The Rabbids series isn’t really a big deal in Japan, and pre-orders were a bit on the slow side. However, reservations picked up quite a bit to about 30,000 units. Media Create also says that commercials have made a big impact and have appealed to the family demographic.

During this month’s Nintendo Direct Mini, Ubisoft unveiled the newest character for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Donkey Kong will be added via the upcoming story DLC.

Creative director Davide Soliani says Donkey Kong’s arms will be used “extensively” in combat. Being a gorilla also affords him more mobility options.

Ubisoft will have some Nintendo-related news to share soon. That’s based on a new tweet from one of the company’s employees at the company’s Montreal studio.

Here’s the tweet in question:


What’s being teased here could be one of many things. One possibility is some news on Steep, which we assume is still in the works given that Ubisoft hasn’t said anything about a cancellation. This same Ubisoft staffer had said in August that Steep was still happening on Switch.
