They are still annoying, and I really don't think a notable amount of people actually cares about them anymore. Mario + Rabbids sold because it was a good game with Mario characters and no other reason. I can't exactly prove that, but I don't think it's far fetched at all.

Oh yeah 100% people paid attention to Mario + Rabbids because it had Mario in it. I have never played a rabbids game, know nothing about them, and if it had been just a Rabbids tactics game I probably wouldn't have gotten it. Hell I even got Mario + Rabbids on a spur of the moment whim when I saw it was half off like a year after it came out. But what first got me thinking I might get the game one day was the first time I saw it in motion and it looked pretty damn amazing in motion. Sure Mario got people looking at it and talking about it because it was an odd smash up of the two franchises in a totally different genre, but any other big Nintendo franchise would do the same. Zelda + Rabbids, Splatoon + Rabbids would work very well. Well only thing I don't know about Zelda is jumping isn't a big thing in that franchise while it was obviously a big part of the gameplay in Mario + Rabbids so I dunno but I'm sure they could figure out something else to do.
And the Rabbids make it whacky. They add whackiness and character to the game, plus you get more characters by combining Nintendo characters with Rabbids. Definitely positives. Given the precedent set now by the first game I'd much much rather have the same team at Ubisoft make a Zelda (or to a lesser extent Splatoon) + rabbids game rather than have another team try to copy the success with a Nintendo only cast.
