Hvorfor er Donkey Kong ikke med i Mario + Rabbids?

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle udkom for omtrent fire måneder siden, og har siden udgivelsen fået både betalte og gratis udvidelser. For nylig, for at tage temperaturen på spillet, satte vi os ned med Ubisoft Milanos producer, Cristina Nava, for at kigge tilbage på udviklingen, og naturligvis for at stille hende et meget vigtigt spørgsmål - hvor er Donkey Kong?

"Rabbid Kong, the giant, white, gorilla-like character is not really a fusion of Donkey Kong, but a fusion of [some] elements of it. Everything in the Mario + Rabbids story comes a geeky girl's basement (there's the basement's incident). This girl in an inventor, but also a great Nintendo fan. So she has action figures, elements of all the Nintendo games... and so Rabbid Kong is a creation by spoiling the little white rabbid who gets stressed and then creates that powerful ray beam of energy which fuses things together. So Rabbid Kong is not properly a fusion with Donkey Kong, because we didn't mix the Mushroom Kingdom lore with the Donkey Kong lore, so Rabbid Kong has the tie of Donkey Kong and yes, [the music], (laughs), so yeah we put many hints and many Easter eggs for the Nintendo fans. We wanted this game to be the perfect day for a Nintendo fan because it's full of Nintendo elements".

Så åbenbart skal vi skyde skylden på den lille pige i kælderen i starten af spillet.
