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

YVES GOT SOME BACKUP, VIVENDIY'ALL FUCKED NOW pic.twitter.com/rNRNSJ9crbJune 12, 2017

MARIO SHOT AND KILLED A THING! WTF EVEN IS THIS!June 12, 2017

“Wahoooo! Contact!"“I’ve-a been shot by an enemy sniper!"“I’m-a bleeding out!"June 12, 2017

Can't believe they're announcing Mario XCOM in this, the year of bizarro rabbit Luigi. #E3June 12, 2017

Then there was reasoning

I mean I hate those rabbids so fucking them up as mario sounds OKJune 12, 2017

Is this canon? pic.twitter.com/BYK8LNbAcaJune 12, 2017

Mario kissing a rabbid is the new sonic kissing a human #UbiE3June 12, 2017

Then excitement

Ok, #MarioRabbids looks good. Another must buy on #NintendoSwitch for me.June 12, 2017

Disney and Final Fantasy was an unexpected but awesome mix. Now Rabbids and Mario in an X-COM style game? You had me at Rabbids Peach. :)June 12, 2017

Former GamesRadar+ News Writer

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+.
