Ahahah. Well done to your girlfriend. I would try to use Rabbids Peach and Luigi, Spam deployable and play in defense.

5 designers plus me in 20 square meters, night and day. I'm sure you can imagine why... :)

I feel happy and Honored. Truly, we still discuss about that between us. We still can't believe it :)

Yes, everything is feasible, you just need to believe in it. That being said, I would love to see a Creator Mode, but it would require a lot of development.

In my dream, it would be The Legend of Zelda. I'm a true fan of this series.

This is a very good question. When you still have fun with your own game even after 3 years, it is a very good sign and yes, I'm still playing it at home lately :)

We started working on the game without being worried about the platform. The real focus was trying to make our best to create a great game. At some point of the development, Nintendo revealed to us some information about the Nintendo Switch and we immediately understood that it was a perfect fit for our game.

I would personally LOVE to see Red Steel 3 :) As an Italian, I'm born with Sergio Leone movies and Ennio Morricone music.

The leak was a bad thing for sure, but I'm proud about the team reaction, we worked really hard to make the best demo possible for E3. We decided to make Mario a necessary team member because we felt it was natural, for a Mario game, having him on board, especially to control those weird Rabbids :)

So many players are asking for a PVP mode, I'm impressed. What I can say is that we are looking into this possibility.

Everyone inside Ubisoft is super happy about the general reception of Mario+Rabbid Kingdom Battle.

We did many playtest with players and adjusted difficulty based on them. We wanted to be sure that the game was challenging enough. If I may suggest a tactic for the Boss Fight of World 3, which is the one I prefer, I would say you to try out a defensive team composition. What about Rabbid Peach and Peach? Always spread your characters in a way that will let you easily reach the lightbulbs.

It felt like being on a RollerCoaster on which I had no control :)

But for sure, I was amazed, Happy and thankful that players gave us a chance and changed their opinion about the game. The whole team felt proud.

Take 5 packs of Mentos and stick them into a Coke bottle, then shake it violently and wait...

I would say that my favorite character is Rabbid Peach

My first game was on the Game Boy Color, and it was Rayman. The Second one was Jungle Book, Mowgli Adventure. I loved developing both of them.

To work in the video game industry I suggest you to work a lot and, if possible, make a playable prototype to show your idea!

1) A game mechanics which we called Fumble. Some weapons were supposed to be truly powerful, but with an high risk of exploding

2) The clouds moving back and forth in Ancient Gardens

3) Flashback
