In Ubisoft latest financial call, CEO Yves Guillemot mentioned that Ubisoft has exceeded their financial targets with a few games being key to Ubisoft’s growth.

One of the games being called out was Mario+ Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. First shown off back in E3 with Miyamoto, the turn based strategy game did exceptionally well when it was launched back in August.

Hopefully, Ubisoft will take the strong sales as an indication of the Switch’s appeal and continue to put more games on the Nintendo Switch.
