Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot has spoken with GamesIndustry about a number of topics and one of which is the latest Mario + Rabbids game, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. The game reviewed fairly well, but sales ultimately missed Ubisoft’s internal expectations. Mr. Guillemot says that in hindsight it would have been best to launch it for the successor to the Nintendo Switch, Talking of the next Nintendo platform, Guillemot said that they plan to update Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope for “the new machine that will come in the future.”
“Although, I think it was a different issue with Mario. We had already released a Mario Rabbids game [on Switch], so by doing another we had two similar experiences on one machine. On Nintendo, games like this never die. There are 25 Mario games on Switch. Nintendo [has advised] that it’s better to do one iteration on each machine. We were a bit too early, we should have waited for [the next console].”
“Because you could play a great game. And we think it will last for ten years, because we will update it for the new machine that will come in the future.”
