RRR will stay on Wii, anyone remember why they are exclusive to Wii?

well, "James Cameron’s Avatar™: The game and several non-casual Wii titles reporting lower-than-expected sales"

was there any other decent Wii release by Ubisoft apart from Rabbits go Home and Avatar: The Game?

Broken Sword, Tenchu, and Dawn of Discovery.



^^^Broken Sword was a Gameboy Advance port with higher resolution and motion controls added in......not exactly a heavy expenditure

And yet it's still f***ing awesome, and most folks never played it on the PC/GBA anyways.

Moreover, it has full voice acting and an entirely new subplot. It's not just a straight port.

Yea, I was one of 6 people worldwide to play it on the GBA. I didn't really get into it. The click-N-point thing may not be for me.

Still, although the game is good, it is from a previous experience, and there is no way that Ubi spent a great deal of time on it; like they did Wii owners a favor..........

It was awesome to play!  But man... did it ever burn me to shell out full price for a port of a 13 yr old game, even an enhanced one.   Luckily I finished and sold it while the value was still high.  Adventure games have no replay value anyway.

Doesn't look like we're going to get any more either.   No Sam & Max 2 release date or dates for any other adventure titles (in NA).  Sad.

bye bye third party wii support

More like bye bye Ubisoft. They really dont hold a candle to the better HD developers. Only a matter of time before someone buys them outright.

A Rayman-less spinoff title, a mediocre-to-shitty licensed game that didn't do wel on any platform, a full-priced enhanced port of a 13-year-old PnC adventure game, and two franchise games (the second of which doesn't even have the Anno 1XXX brand recognition for some ludicrous reason) that wouldn't have sold well no matter the platform, none with any advertising, and Ubisoft are surprised that they didn't generate high sales?

Echoing the, "good riddance."

Oh, by the way, Ubisoft is alone in shifting dev resources, at least that we know about. The big Capcom story from a while back came from the president of Capcom France (lol), and someone above him basically said that he was wrong.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

With games like that, who cares really.

Does these mean the IMAGINE franchise is headed to the HD twins?

Imagine games would actually work really well with Natal, might be what their focus is.
