Guess what? There's even more leaks!
WWG, which leaked the artwork, has shared some details, such as Rabbids Kingdom Battle originally being a Wii U game and even amiibo. Bullet points come from NintendoEverything.
– Development began roughly three years ago
– Not a case of Nintendo approaching Ubisoft
– Supposedly Ubisoft’s brainchild
– Began as a proposal that went through the standard pitching process one has to go through to get a game made at Nintendo, including a presentation to their higher ups
– Site’s sources say they have seen functional prototypes of a Wii U version of the game at various points in development
– Ubisoft Milan is handling the core creative direction
– Prevailing sense of Nintendo letting go of the reins with the project
– Nintendo reps are closely overseeing it and approval is needed for anything concerning the use of their characters
– However, even the most outlandish ideas from the developers have been met with little resistance
– Twisted sense of humor
– Has surreal, self referential gags
– Early prototype had a hulky Donkey Kong themed rabbid serving as one of the first boss encounters
– The rabbid has access to a pile of bananas that it can use to replenish its health
– Players are required to first cut off his food supply to prevent him from recovering before they can do some real damage
– The DK rabbid apparently will dab periodically if it lands an attack correctly (a possible reference to DK’s dab from Mario Kart 8)
– Once the boss is defeated, one member of the player’s party, a rabbid cosplaying as Princess Peach, takes out a smart phone and nabs a selfie with the DK Rabbid as it collapses
– All playable characters have an individual skill tree of sorts through which they can develop their own special abilities
– Each one starts with a base skill that they can later improve
– Learn new skills as well
– Ex: Mario has a passive ability which enables him to automatically fire at an enemy if they enter his field of vision during the enemy’s turn
– Some of these powers are common across multiple characters
– Unique ones like Peach’s powerful ability to inflate enemies using a foot pump until they explode
– Online suite was apparently being tested several months back, but it was inaccessible in the test build
– “Arena” mode spotted in the test UI promising some local co-op action.
– amiibo support seems to be planned
– Prototypes feature a mode dubbed ‘amiibo machine’
– Ubisoft is said to be producing prototype figurines of some of the game’s characters
– These could be for a potential Kingdom Battle amiibo line
– Was planned to be announced during Switch’s unveiling in January, but was pushed back to receive further polish http://nintendoeverything.com/rumor-more-mario-rabbids-kingdo... http://comicbook.com/gaming/2017/05/29/mario-rabbids-kingdom-...
Anyone still think this is fake?
I think it's been well established most people, including myself, are not fond of Rabbids.
That being said, the game sounds genuinely wacky and interesting, and more and more I'm beginning to believe this will be a good game despite the unlikeable co-stars. We shall see.

You know, the type of "edgy" humour that seems to be present in this game is not exactly without precedent in the Mario-verse... the Striker games featured such things as Peach posing provocatively for cameras (which is probably where the Peach Rabbid got inspiration from), Wario's known gassiness (usually kept to WarioWare) with extra graphic description from Wario himself, and Waluigi. Just... Waluigi.
Just telling it: i'm watching Ubisoft pre-show and on the table, while they are talking about Rainbow Six, there is a Switch with a Rabbid puppet near it...
It's another one of those crossover ideas that seems to ridiculous to work (Internet Rabbid hate notwithstanding), but after seeing it in action, you wonder how it ever took this long for it to happen.
And besides, even if you still don't like Rabbids, it seems you spend the entire game blasting them anyhow.
From what I've seen the game play looks fun, I like the world and design etc... but I HATE the Rabbids inclusion. Much rather seen a pure Mario Universe Game, or if they want to go bigger Nintendo Universe (Link, Zelda, Metroid, Lil'Mac, Kirby, Fox, DK etc.... - even some "friends of the family" like Mega Man or a Belmont).
I really want and love part of this game, and REALLY hate other parts. Hopefully you can ignore the Rabbid's charaters and just have a party of Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi.
Edit - This would be a fantastic Amiibo support game. Instead of the Rabbids (got I hate them) have the core Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi team - and then any (or most - maybe not EVERY version of Link, or the villains etc...) Amiibo that gets scanned gives you that new character you can use on your team.
Mario and co. looking shiny.
Awesome cut-scenes.
A ton of Mario references.
Grant Kirkhope composes the music!
A collectors edition with the soundtrack.
I-I'm really hyped for this game now. I don't want to admit it but I am.
I'm a huge Mario fan (with a lot of Super Mario Odyssey hype)
I currently have 100+ Mario games (I never thought that I had so many...)
I was expecting to really dislike this but I wave pleasantly surprised.
