I still refuse to play them as I hate Rabbids and it's still not a sequel to Super Mario RPG. Not against the existence of this game but I am let down by every Mario RPG project not a sequel the one game better than all of them. Why not both?

Some people have been able to accept/appreciate that there have been good Mario RPG games (Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi series) made without the SquareEnix collaboration.  Besides that, Mario vs Rabbids Kingdom Battle is an XCOM style tactical strategy game rather than a straight up Mario RPG anyway.
