Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

Sparks of Hope info summary:
Sparks of Hope info summary:
- Started development in Summer 2018 when the Donkey Kong Adventure DLC wrapped up development.
- They knew immediately that they wanted to make something different and not just a 'direct sequel' so the first thing that was changed from the first game was the combat system.
- 'Open-ended planets' to explore as a response to criticism of the first game.
- New story all about space and space opera.
- RPG progression.
- Development teams are: Ubisoft Paris, Ubisoft Milan, Ubisoft Chengdu, Ubisoft Montpellier, and Ubisoft Pune. Ubisoft Paris and Milan co-lead 'artistic direction, creative vision, tech vision, and design', Ubisoft Chengdu 'to work on the planets, the NPCs, and supporting the project here and there', Ubisoft Montpellier for 'the cinematics and animation support', and Ubisoft Pune for testing.
- Creative process is entirely different for Sparks of Hope compared to Kingdom Battle - 'we chose locations that enable us to convey messages on the things that we care most about in life, about what we believe is important. And only after that, we try to imagine if our Rabbids could live in such location.'
- 'All new Heroes and enemies, and even NPCs, have a unique backstory, both funny and surprisingly profound, which will compel players to know more about them and progress through the game and its story.'
- Kirkhope has had tons of ideas for Sparks of Hope but they also decided to mix it up and add Gareth Coker and Yoko Shimomura and working with the audio art director, they all bring their unique style for the vision of the game and also 'brings a lot of nostalgia as well for those who know those composers.'

[Preview] Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is bonkers, deeply strategic fun
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle was one the plucky plumber’s most unexpected and off-the-wall adventures in a long time when it released in 2017; it quickly became one of my favorite games on the Switch thanks to its simple but satisfying tactics and its delightfully quirky vibes. I was excited...
