I was cautiously intrigued, Mario has appeared in many different genres of games ranging from traditional platformers to sports games, even a few RPGs, but a turn-based strategy? The game sounded just weird enough to work, and it absolutely works! Many have since compared the combat to the sci-fi, and more serious XCOM games. The game is a crossover of Nintendo’s mustachioed mascot with the Rabbids as Mario and company battle their way across Mushroom Kingdom in a turn-based strategy setting. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was officially announced at E3 2017 and was released later that summer on August 29. The level of goodwill between the companies became apparent when a crossover title was announced featuring Nintendo mascot Mario and Ubisoft’s mischievous Rabbids, first introduced as part of the long-running Rayman franchise. One of the few publishers to remain relatively faithful to Nintendo and continue to support their consoles is Ubisoft. Things seemed to turn around a bit with the success of the Wii, but only weakened once again with Nintendo releasing the Wii’s follow up – the Wii U. Since the mid 90’s, Nintendo hasn’t always had the strongest support of third-party publishers and developers as the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube both suffered from vastly limited catalogs of titles to choose from in comparison to competitors like Sony and Microsoft.
