Miyamoto said he has Rabbids figurines on his desk, wouldnt surprise me if Nintendo asked about using Rabbids specifically.

You really buy that? I doubt Miyamoto has even played a Rabbids game.

You think he lied to us for no reason?

It's very odd. It feels like Ubisoft using the Mario franchise to try and kick start their rabbids franchise again and Nintendo just trying to get more games in their console. It looks well made and i've gotten to love the XCOM-esque combat over a few other games like it but those rabbids annoy me to no end.

Why not? Its a good justification for this game. "Oh sure, I loved Rabbids since forever." Ya right.

It's because I've never seen Rabbids before, and because it's not the usual Mario-Universe-only cast that it stands out as something different.
I haven't seen the E3 video yet but the Rabbids look charming from what I've seen.

These rabbids are a step up from old rabbids, whose whole shtick was screaming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unXUvJx947I

I kinda wish it was more of a Mario / Rayman crossover RPG than just the Rabbids. A Mario / Rayman platformer would be sick, but we know Nintendo ain't sharing Mario when it comes to their 2D and 3D platforming games.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

simple. UBI said they would make an exclusive game for switch if they could get their hands on the Mario IP. Nintendo probably required they be allowed to do some QA on the game. A deal was struck. Nintendo is getting an exclusive pretty much only at the cost of letting someone else use their IP.

I must say, when I think Rabbids, I think obnoxious but in the trailer, they were actually likable. I want to play this game.

Minions > Rabbids
but
Rabbids >>> Waluigi, Tingle, Diddy Kong, Ash Ketchum and some Pokémons
so
it's surely a wonderful deal for Ubisoft, but a more than decent one for Ninty too.
