"While Nintendo is protective of its franchises, Mario + Rabbids creative director Davide Soliani has found the company is "quite open-minded" to new ideas as long as the creative concept can be justified. When Ubisoft Milan set out to make a Mario-Rabbids crossover game, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto tasked the team with making a game that wasn't about Mario jumping. The studio embraced that challenge by proposing a game where Mario and his pals use guns.
" Soliani noted that while it was "not an easy topic" address, Miyamoto embraced their concept the first time they presented it because the team could back it up with a compelling vision that worked within the Mario world. "Every time you are proposing something crazy to Nintendo, they are quite open-minded, but you need a good justification and a good logic to create something in the Mario universe," he explained."
I wonder what crazy crossover are we going to get next from Nintendo and Ubisoft, Zelda- Assassin's Creed perhaps?
