The internet reacts to Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle - 'Mario shot and killed a thing WTF'

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
