Shigeru Miyamoto comes onstage at Ubisoft for the unusual Mario and Rabbids crossover

One of gaming biggest icons, Shigeru Miyamoto, was onstage today at Ubisoft’s event ahead of this week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo event in Los Angeles.

He joined Ubisoft’s chief executive officer Yves Guillemot to introduce Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, a grid-based strategy game starring Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, and those annoying little Rabbids. This game is coming out for the Switch, Nintendo’s hit portable/home console hybrid that came out in March.
