Preview: How talking Rabbids have a big impact on 'Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope’


'Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope' features a bigger cast of characters with many of them available from the outset. — Nintendo of America/Tribune News Service

One of the most unexpected changes in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is that the Ubisoft characters actually speak. Hearing them utter complete sentences was like hearing a dog recite Shakespeare. It’s something you don’t expect.

Rabbids have usually just jibbered jabbered nonsense with random screams thrown in. They emoted their intentions with slapstick, but that could only take Rabbids so far. It also limited what kind of stories Ubisoft could tell with them.
