Donkey Kong has been slated to participate in Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle for quite some time now, but the details of when it would happen and exactly what that entails were unclear. Thanks to a recent Ubisoft announcement, we now know that the "Donkey Kong Adventure" DLC is due out sometime in June, as well as a few other things.
Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a match made in heaven, if heaven was some sort of madman's laboratory in France. Despite a bit of understandable confusion when the game was first announced, it was met with delight when it released back in August. Between the tight "X-COM lite" gameplay and playful interpretation of the Mario universe, there was a lot to love.
With the annual release of the latest Madden title now complete, the fall deluge of games has begun. Here's a quick rundown of the co-op titles that are available starting today.
Mario and his Rabbid friends will be duking it out XCom style with a bunch of evil Rabbids next Tuesday in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and yesterday Ubisoft just revealed plans for some additional content that will be arriving after its release. The good news is that there will be additional co-op challenges as part of all this.
Ubisoft's venture into the world of Mario took us all a little bit by surprise when it was finally unveiled at this year's E3. The rumors and leaks prior to the event had many wondering what Nintendo was thinking, but seeing Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle in action eased many of those anxieties. We only got a little tease of the co-op mode at that time, but now, a new gameplay video provides the pertinent details.
It's been rumored for some time with a lot of folks asking "is this for real," and Ubisoft finally answered all of that during their E3 press conference today. Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle is an actual thing and it is coming to the Nintendo Switch this August.
Probably one of the most overlooked games of 2011, Ubisoft has stated that its return to Rayman’s roots with Rayman Origins was indeed a profitable success!
This Rabbids: Alive and Kicking trailer begins with a truly horrifying scene. Clearly, animated monstrosities have invaded these peoples homes, had their way with them, and are now holding them against their will. The doomed foursome tries to fight back, but to no avail. These people are obviously under the influence of a weapons-grade hallucinogen. Now they are forced to perform bizarre tasks like animals in some deviant ringmaster's circus. This is a family game? As I said before, what the hell is wrong with you people?
This week two gaming juggernauts will clash in a head to head battle. It's the old guard versus the young upstarts in an all-out war for global domination! When the dust settles only one game will reign supreme! Are you ready for this digital THUNDERDOME!?! I can't hear you! Are. You. Ready!? Then let's get it on! It's the Black Eyed Peas Experience versus Nickelodeon Dance! Oh yeah, another military shooter is coming out. Big whoop.
Joining a band, becoming a member of the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team, Performing the Y.M.C.A., and surviving the zombie hordes in Left 4 Dead: these are just some of the ways to look super awesome as a foursome. As of 8th November, we can add playing Rabbids: Alive and Kicking on 360 Kinect to this list. A new trailer highlights some of the 4 player minigames on offer and they look too cool for school (Co-Optimus does not endorse skipping classes - stay in school kids).
The Rabbids are back! Yet again! Seriously - these guys don't quit. Once a surprisingly fun phenomenon that made the Nintendo Wii worth playing, they're invading the Xbox 360 Kinect this November with Rabbids: Alive & Kicking. Augmented reality gimmicks and classic Rabbids humor abound, it looks like up to four players will be able to take part in party-oriented minigames.
