Yes, you read that completely right. Nintendo has currently made one of the most amazing third-party Mario games totally free. It’s the Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which the Switch owners can get right now without paying anything. However, it’s in the form of a trial that the developer and publisher are providing for a week. But it’s definitely the chance that no Mario lover would like to miss.

Additionally, it’s the perfect timing as well, on the 4th of July, by the Japanese giant.

Nintendo eShop offering Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle for free!

For those who haven’t tried it, Kingdom Battle is a turn-based strategy title from 2017. It’s developed by Ubisoft Milan and published by Ubisoft for the Switch. It’s a crossover between the Mario and Raving Rabbids series from Nintendo and Ubisoft. Not to mention that it’s also the first installment in this special franchise, which will witness the next entry later this year.

It’s one of the top-rated games for Nintendo Switch on Metacritic, with a stellar score of 85 percent, based on 104 critic reviews as of this writing. This implies that fans and critics have given it a huge thumbs up since its original debut five years ago. Moreover, it’s still worth trying, especially at a time when Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope is just around the corner.
