Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Actually it's more lots of rabbids but in the mushroom kingdom so it evens out.

Also Opera? Yes please.
 
Well, this confirms that Bowser Jr. is the main villain, finally he's going to have a central role again!


Bonus points if we see him on foot as well showing his ability to be on par with Mario in terms of moveset, although both the cutscene and the artwork are screaming that we won't see him on foot...


In terms of Marioness, I would wait to see the final game, Ubisoft is being pretty selective on what we can see and the plot has been barely mentioned so far - we mainly know a few key events of Ancient Gardens.

While that would be cool if BJ was the villain, it's not very likely. Most likely it will be some kind of Rabbid Bowser.
 
Maybe, but what makes you think Junior won't be the main villain? He seems to play a very important role, and I'd even think Junior is the main villain in New Super Mario Bros..

I was about to say because he's already been the main villain once before (ish), but then I remembered that this is the franchise with the same villain every single time. Someone kidnapped the princess? Bowser. Someone took over the nearby kingdoms? Bowser. Someone stole King Kong from the Empire State Building? Bowser. Nintendo probably doesn't care about reusing villains.
 
Well Bowser is said to specifically be on holiday right now so odds are he'll be absent for at least most of the game with jr pulling the strings.

That's why I think it's Bowser. He's *always* the main villain these days.
 
Yeah, it's as if he's the central villain of the Mario series or something.

I'm not bothered by it. Give me more Bowser.

Just because someone's the central villain doesn't mean they aren't getting stale.

Look at Kirby! The central villain of that series is Dark Matter, and he hasn't appeared recently (Well, besides his clone in Planet Robobot, but that wasn't the main antagonist of the game at all)! The games are still fun without him!

I'd probably be less angry with Bowser appearing more if he wasn't so one-note. He has no depth. Part of the reason I love Super Mario Sunshine so much is because his character is explored upon a bit more. If he had a personality like in Bowser's Inside Story or the Paper Mario games (besides Sticker Star) it would definitely make the games funnier!
