Cafe bound to be home to many a port from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

I stated this in another thread, and I still stand by it. Either these have to be bargain price with the same content, or full price with considerable new content (I mean the loads of stuff the PS2 version of RE4 got, not the sparse stuff Scarface and The Godfather got on the Wii). Otherwise these ports will be selling to people who either got them on the other systems, or wanted them for the Wii itself (don't give me any "just buy it for those systems" line, as the customers are not going to be told what to do).

Your confusing old ports with ports of new and equal games.

What is meant is that when the next big game launches, it will also launch on this new system with at least equal features.

No, you're confusing "port" with "multiplatform".

Also, the audience for those games is long established on those other systems, while years of neglect has left Nintendo consumers too bitter to touch those games if they haven't already got them on those other systems (and there are others on other threads also stating this).

I assume you did notice that it is Kotaku (and some of the other venues quoting Ubisoft) that uses the word "ports", Ubisoft did not use the word port - reading what he said, I believe he was talking about multiplatform games, not ports of old games (though I expect some compilations such as an AC compilation to pop up as well).

Well if they are multplatform games, then exclusive content is still needed in order to make any interest. Simply using the systems as a third multiplafrorm dump will still smack of scraps, just a larger amount of them. That won't just annoy customers aware of this lack of respect, but make the games uninteresting to those not aware.

Has Ubisoft done any exclusive game for any of the other consoles? (I am asking, I don't know the answer). Most of the exclusive content will be provided by Nintendo anyway.  I agree that exclusive content from 3rd parties would be nice. My guess is that whatever the special feature/s of cafe are, at least some multiplatform games will cater to that feature and so in that sense will be exclusive.

I should clarify that I mean developers in general. Ubisoft is one of those that gave the Wii a lot more attention than other developers have.
