Ubisoft 30th Anniversary Video Has Mario, Luigi And Toad In Rabbids Form

Awesome. I hope the game is real as it sounds interesting. I would also love another amazing Rabbids game like Rabbids Go Home

There is no way that Nintendo let that slip through if there wasn't something going on with the Mario and the Rabbids franchises. I believe the rumours just got confirmed.

and here we all thought it was beyond good and evil 2.

ow boy,i dont like this at all

@Jamotello Actually the same people who reported on the rumours for the Rabbids and Mario crossover also say Beyond Good and Evil 2 is a Switch exclusive but way way down the line.

If the RPG is cross-developed by Ubisoft and Alphadream, I might be interested.

Interesting!

There's no way that's a coincidence, it's too specific. I'm interested in this game though, will it be like another Mario & Luigi?

Out of all of Ubisoft's IPs, why did it have to be a Rabbids crossover

@MitchVogel I would honestly be down for that.

Mario & Luigi: Down the Burrow

The concept basically writes itself

Great news! I see it as a game that follows like the Soul Caliber 2 did on Gamecube, Xbox and PS2...it will come out on all 3 systems, but have specific themes that are only on each console (Mario on Switch's version and vice versa). Can't wait to see it when it becomes mentioned more! Love the Rabbids games and would really like to see more of that Rayman game that looks like it's for PS4's VR (at least that's what it looked like in the video). I know many people put down the company, but in all honesty, they have some amazing games, and they were one of the companies that kept releasing on the Wii U where others didn't, so I'm not sure why many nintendo fans put them down. Just like other companies, they wanted the money...just like nintendo wants. Still though, can't wait to see the cartoony-humor of the Rabbids meeting up with Mario!!!

Ugh. This is as appealing as mixing rabbids with Zelda.

Is it possible that someone from Ubisoft saw these bespoke figurines after they were made, put 2 and 2 together, made 5, and "leaked" the information about a cross-over game that doesn't exist?

I was there and it was just display. But they were really cute !
There was also Rabbids South Park for exemple (and you can see them in the video). But maybe that's a sign, indeed

(I have great shots of them taken with my iPhone if you want them by e-mail to use in your article)

What was really interesting and is not in the video, is that they showed there videos of cancelled games, including Killer Freaks, for the first time !

Future Ubisoft games:
Beyond Good and Bwaaaah!
Mario and Luigi take on Bowsaaaaah!
Zombiwaaaah!
Assassins Creed: Bwaaahverhood
Prince of Persbwaaah!
Bwaaah Cry 4

Another game that won't sell and ubisoft will base all future gaming decisions on this and it's poor sales!

Maybe it is the same old rabbids games with exclusive content ( exclusive skin ) for Nintendo switch ( Mario skin ) ? And not crossover

...Huh, so that's happening. They better not form Mario characters into rabbit shapes, though.

I hope it's not. 1. It's creepy 2. It won't sell well

I've somehow never played a Rabbids game, so personally I'd rather them pick something that most people actually like, such as Rayman himself, or another Nintendo franchise, or possibly even Sonic. Just seems like a weird choice. Rabbids to me seem like the off brand version of minions.

It's too specific a reference for it to not mean anything.
Plus, we all know how protective Nintendo is of its IP - they wouldn't have let Ubisoft use them in a promotional video unless they had a very good reason behind it.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed they dump the SNES prototype of "Rayman".

@smashboy2000 Killer Freaks! I need to see more of that game.

these would make great amiiburrow

Ew....Rabbids still looks ugly even in Mario or Luigi costumes. Sorry, I can't like something like that.

Nah, it's not evidence for anything. You can see even Southpark characters rabbidized at 1:05.

These painted rabbids are most likely more related to the character creation in Rabbids Go Home than anything else.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE That's all you got to say? No negative comment about how lame the Rabbid series is?

SLIGEACH_EIRE is clearly a double agent! That's not like him!

@Moshugan I'm not sure that Nintendo would let Ubisoft use their most cherished IP without a reason. (Even if it does have bunny ears)

@Tingle_The_Great Of course they got a permission in any case. But these aren't evidence for any game.
I don't think we can expect a Southpark x Rabbids game as well. There were a lot of other rabbidized characters there too.

While I do hope anything Ubisoft puts out on the Switch is of great quality, I also hope we get a new Rayman game for the system. I loved Legends but I hope they do something great for the series.

I kinda hope this isn't true. Sounds really stupid to me. Haha

Laura Dale is 100% correct

It's looking like the rumor is true!

Also, I kinda want that Luigi Rabbid.

Hmm, well I sorta like rabbids and I love Mario so this may be an interesting game.

Pretty much confirmed that RPG spin-off rumour is true.

I'm scared

Didn't see that coming...

Rabbids... meh. Crossed with Mario? Smh...

....Great....instead of a real Mario RPG we get Color Splash/whatever this is going to be...........with Rabbids.

@NintyFan I know that. I've just been exposed to a lot more Minion stuff than Rabbids I guess, as do I think is the case with most people. Maybe not all gamers, but I'd say most of the general public.

Ubisoft has become hyper-commercial (but I know, that's also the case with Nintendo) and a bit meh. Ass Creed and Just Dance all the time. At least Rayman Legends was cool, and there's the hope for Bg&E2, hopefully on Switch. But what about Prince of Persia?! They have totally forgotten about that franchise!

Looking forward too seeing good quality unique titles from Ubisoft on the Switch.

@thehappyjack That was my thought exactly. I mean, the rumors could be true of course, but someone making a wrong assumption after seeing these figures seems at least as likely, if not far more so.

This might be awesome. Can't wait for January 12th.

1. @Luna_110 Ubisoft wouldn't have needed Nintendo's permission to put a couple of rabbid dolls in red/blue and green/blue outfits etc. to make them resemble Mario and Luigi.

2. I'm not sure I want this crossover in an RPG form. I've got nothing against the collaboration, just don't fancy it much as an RPG and would have thought they'd go for something a bit more mainstream/casual.

There's a lot of other characters there, though... It could still be a coincidence, but it'd be a really weird coincidence. It so perfectly feeds into these rumors that it's hard not to believe that this was planned.

LOL.. not sure how this in any way confirms or denies anything. Some days I think you guys are just desperately grasping at straws for Switch-related news.

The koopalings better be in it too.

Woah what was that body scanner thing?

Only for die hard fans

Who's the big Rabbid in the middle based off of?
( The one with the shirt and hair )

Idk what to make of this game. Not really excited about Rabbids, but I do love Mario and definitely love RPGs. I'll be keeping an open mind.

@peeks "Another game that won't sell and ubisoft will base all future gaming decisions on this and it's poor sales!"

Lol, I can understand why you'd feel that way, but, you have to realize that the lack of third-party sales was likely a Wiiu thing, and not a Nintendo thing. Fortunately, the Switch seems like it will be a better console, and hopefully it sells well enough to stimulate third-party growth. I'd say it probably will. 😉

The first Mario RPG I won't be bothering with.

No way that is accidental.

@thehappyjack I honestly think that's what happened. :/
