Plus a gameplay trailer, and it looks fantastic
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle had quite a rollercoaster ride before its announcement at E3 2017 — low quality leaked assets, showing Mario shooting a gun alongside Rabbids, were not well received.

News Ubisoft To Take Assassin's Creed Lore To The Next Level With Mr Men And Little Miss Books
Mass murder, but for kids apparently
In the dozens (and dozens) of hours it takes to beat Assassin's Creed Valhalla it's possible you'll chop off approximately 800 heads, though you'll kill thousands as you rampage through monasteries and towns in a very Viking-esque way. Even going back to the older games that we can enjoy on the Switch, for...
