Let’s GO! Nintendo Leaks Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope On Its Website Before E3 Reveal
The game will feature a roster of nine playable characters at the start. The previous Mario + Rabbids entry had plenty of DLC that added playable characters after the fact, however, so there will likely be more. Players will build their parties of three from the playable roster, and each character will have unique special abilities and team maneuvers. Nintendo also describes the game as, "Team up with Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Rabbid Peach, Rabbid Luigi, and their friends on a galactic journey to defeat a malevolent entity and save your Spark companions. Explore planets throughout the galaxy as you uncover mysterious secrets and compelling quests!", along with the following list of features...
- Build your dream team with three heroes from an eclectic roster of nine.
- Take down all new bosses, along with some familiar enemies throughout the galaxy.
- Rescue the adorable Sparks throughout the galaxy, who provide distinct powers that will help you in battle.
- Unleash your heroes' skills but be strategic as you dash your enemies, team jump on your allies, and hide behind covers.
Presumably the listing went live before it should have, and Nintendo has noticed its mistake, so the Mario + Rabbids 2 page is now empty. However, nothing escapes Google's cache, and the listing can still even be viewed at Nintendo's own site. It's possible Ubisoft will unveil the game at its E3 2021 presentation, Ubisoft Forward, later today at 3 PM Eastern / noon Pacific. Nintendo has its own E3 event scheduled for 12 PM Eastern / 9 AM Pacific on Tuesday, June 15.
