There's a new 'Super Mario' game with a goofy twist
Nintendo's got a brand new Super Mario game in the works, but with an all-new spin.
Rather than a traditional Mario title, this one co-stars the Rabbids, the characters from Ubisoft's long-running game franchise. The new game's called "Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle" and will be a "turn-based tactical adventure" game, according to Ubisoft.

Players will see a battlefield, where the action takes place, from a birds-eye view. The combat looks a bit more complex than the standard Mario & Luigi-style RPGs, and there are a variety of tactics for taking down groups of enemies. In the image below, you can see Mario taking a shot at an enemy who's hiding behind cover.

It looks like Nintendo and Ubisoft will be playing up the fun. In the trailer for the game, comedy was rife. And it looks as though the game makers drew from past titles to include lots of the goofy flair and funny quirks from the Rabbids and Super Mario franchises.
Nintendo mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto was on hand at Ubisoft's E3 event in Los Angeles Monday to introduce the new game.
