|

August 3, 2006 - Wii fans, Ubisoft is your new best friend. The publisher has supported Nintendo's Wii console since it was first revealed, eagerly readying such anticipated exclusives as the first-person shooter Red Steel and the action-platformer Rayman Raving Rabbids, both of which are set to debut with the system in a matter of months. But guess what? The French videogame giant is hardly stopping there. It has another five - yes, five games planned for Wii, and they'll all arrive in time for the platform's launch window.
Ubisoft today announced that it is in development with versions of Far Cry, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, Monster 4x4 World Circuit and Open Season for Wii. In addition, the studio is bringing an all-new racer called GT Pro Series to the system.
The publisher also said that it has "many more titles in development" for Wii.
In a separate release out of France, Ubisoft revealed that a Wii Prince of Persia title is in development and will be released -- at least in France -- next March. The company's US subsidiary had no further details to offer on this game, but an American release is a certain eventuality, even if it's not yet official.

Best launch ever in the history of console launches? I believe so.

A lot of those games are already on Xbox, look like Wii will get Xbox port.
If you hate it, ignore it.

Nothing particularly exciting there, but I love Ubisoft so i'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

That's what I thought about when I read the press release, but if you read the interview, he says that far cry will have elements of evolution but with a whole new storyline, so that game doesn't sound like a port to me.
As far as a few of the racing and flying games, except for GT pro which is a brand new title, I think they would be decent as ports with the wii control implemented. Like the monster truck game looks good but got dinged in reviews because of its controls, which would be a non-issue as long as they put the controls right. From the interview at least, it sounds like they put alot of work into these from the time the new control scheme was unveiled.
Anyways mainly I'm excited to see the 3rd party support back that nintendo was dying without for so long...oh and the mention of the prince of persia game...which hopefully will become official soon...*drools at the idea of fighting more badass sand creatures with the wii controller..*
