It seems that the OP is pissed because Just Dance funds games for HDs, while the Wii gets nothing??? That would be a great argument, if it were true, The fact is that there are more games published by Ubisoft on the Wii than 360 or PS3. 92 for Wii, 72 for 360 50 for PS3 according to there own websites. Now the math shows that the HD are in fact NOT getting all the games that the Wii gets and vice versa. OK, there is a lot of shovelware there, no denying, but there are also quite a few core games on there, Red Steel, NMH, Tenchu, Splinter Cell, TMNT, PoP series.Driver, Rayman, FarCry, Hawx, Ghost Recon, Shaun WHite. Hell, oustide of AC series and Rainbow Six i cant think of any Ubi IP that was on a HD console but did not appear on WIi in any form.
So, i ask what is the problem?? Just Dance funds HD games, It appears they also fund Wii games as well

It has already been made clear that the number of games, i.e. quantity, is absolutely irrelevant for this discussion. It's a quality issue, hence my original argument being that third parties are supposed to make good games instead of what they are actually doing. Being a core game or not is also not the issue, it's about quality. If you followed this thread, then you already know that Soul Calibur Legends is a core game, yet nobody was happy about it.

I'll give you a quick rundown of the games you listed:

Red Steel (mediocre, second game a one trick pony), NMH (not an Ubisoft game), Tenchu (same as NMH), Splinter Cell (rushed port, questionable quality), TMNT (completely lacking content, about 30 % of the characters don't even belong in this universe), PoP (one dirty port and one halfassed original game), Driver (quick port), Rayman (Rabbids = milked spinoff series of varying quality, none of them particularly good), Far Cry (an absolute insult), Hawx (didn't even know it was on Wii which can only mean that it must suck), Ghost Recon (on rails shooter), Shaun White (actually decent).

Overall, it's a list that is nearly exclusively full of fail. Cash-ins everywhere you look aside from a couple exceptions. And that is all that Ubisoft could ever do, out of 90 games only a handful of them are acceptable and none of them deserves to be called great? Is that what you call good support?

You know, if Ubisoft didn't make profits with their Wii games, then I would have no ground to stand on; I would have no right to complain that they spit on the Wii. But not only do they make profits, they use those to make games for other systems while the Wii continues to get halfassed efforts. That IS the problem.


OK, i could see where your coming from, but my next question would be, If these games are so terrible, HOW are they making money??? Someone has to be buying them. Just Dance alone can't be that profitable. Actually it is kind of scary, they are able to do half assed games on WIi and still make a profit, is it any wonder why they are not trying?? They are a business, and if your getting money for not even trying then why would you try?? Im not saying i condone this, I dont, but that might be their thinking.
