Ubisoft's E3 2017 press conference made it official: Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is happening and… wait a minute, it actually looks pretty good? We already knew it existed thanks to a bumper crop of leaks, but the presentation made it actually look like a lot of fun. And not just because it gave Shigeru Miyamoto a chance to run onstage with an arm cannon. Here's what the internet thought.
First, there was shock

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
