Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Coming to the Switch
It’s time for a brand new Mario adventure and this time, he’s bring a few new friends along for the ride. Today at the Ubisoft E3 Press Conference, Ubisoft in collaboration with Nintendo have announced their brand new Switch Exclusive title, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. The Rabbids are back and ready to kick up some chaos of their own.
In Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, you’ll explore a Mushroom Kingdom that has been turned upside-down. Those iconic green pipes have sprouted Rabbid ears and turned white, and many other sights familiar to Nintendo fans have been caught up in the craziness. As you explore this colorful, vibrant world, you’ll collect coins, solve puzzles, and find hidden chests containing items and gear to help your team grow stronger against the challenging enemies that stand between you and your goal.
The turn-based battle game lets players mix and match their own team of three heroes from the classic Mushroom Kingdom gang (Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi) or their Rabbid counterparts (Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Luigi, and Rabbid Yoshi) and lead them into combat. Each hero has their own weapons and abilities which can be combinded in some interesting ways to face off against the enemies and environment itself.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle also includes co-op challenges in which each player will control two characters. These challenges will come in multiple difficulty levels for players to team up and test their skills. The game even allows the use of Nintendo’s prized amiibos to unlock additional in-game features.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is coming to the Nintendo Switch in both Standard Edition as well as a Collector’s Edition on August 29th, 2017. The Collectors will include a six-inch figurine of Rabbid Mario, a set of physical collector’s cards and the original soundtrack.
