"Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope Sells 3 Million Units in a Year"

Ubisoft's Mario + Rabbids sequel, Sparks of Hope, has sold nearly three million copies, performing similarly to its predecessor despite initial disappointment. The game's sales momentum, partly aided by discounts on the Nintendo eShop, has changed the outlook for a title previously labeled a flop. Ubisoft had expressed surprise at its underperformance, with CEO Yves Guillemot suggesting it may have been better suited for the successor to the Nintendo Switch. Despite initial commercial disappointment, the studio remains confident in the game's long-term success and is already planning another "big, compelling" game beyond their current project.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope DLC: Fun but Safe with Last Spark Hunter

The Last Spark Hunter DLC for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope adds a new explorable world called Melody Gardens, but it is completely separate from the main adventure, and your builds and loadouts for all nine heroes do not carry over from the base game to the DLC. The DLC introduces five extra Sparks to play around with and a new Golem enemy type, which requires you to dash or stomp them once defeated or else they’ll regenerate. While the battles are challenging, Melody Gardens itself is lacking compared to the five worlds from the base game. Overall, the DLC is a fun addition to the base game but is completely skippable.

Ubisoft CEO Regrets Releasing Mario + Rabbids Sequel Without Waiting for Next Nintendo Console

Nintendo suggested to Ubisoft that it should have waited for the Switch's successor to release Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said that they were a bit too early and should have waited for the next console. Despite positive reviews, the game didn't sell as well as expected, possibly due to players turning towards bigger IPs and economic conditions affecting the gaming market. Guillemot believes the game will last for ten years and will be updated for the new machine that will come in the future.
