Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle launched last Tuesday and was met with critical acclaim. The bizarre and unexpected crossover between the Mario and Raving Rabbids series received an 85\/100 from Metacritic <\/a>who complimented the game\u2019s unpredictable enemies and a feel-good modern combat system while Polygon writer Russ Frushtick called the game \u201cone of the most unlikely success stories of the year\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, one\u00a0small detail of the game is being met with near-universal disdain. The game features several kinds of weapons including sentries, long-range weapons that track down enemies and explode. If Luigi launches his sentry while not behind cover he (unfortunately) dabs.<\/p>\n

Luigi performs the dab around the 25-second mark in this video-<\/p>\n

The internet was quick to express their displeasure over the gesture.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, Nintendo seems to be obsessed with dabbing recently. Just yesterday their official Nintendo of America Twitter account tweeted this.<\/p>\n

The official Sonic Twitter was quick to get in on the action too.<\/p>\n
