Ubisoft CEO Regrets Early Release of Mario + Rabbids on Nintendo Switch

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot regrets releasing Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope on the Nintendo Switch and wishes the company had waited for the console's successor. Guillemot believes the game would have performed better if it had not released on the same platform as the first game, given their similar gameplay experiences. He also indirectly confirms a game coming to Nintendo's next console. Sparks of Hope launched in October 2022 to high critical praise but seemingly poor sales in what was otherwise a difficult year for Ubisoft.
