Ubisoft - we have inside information on the future of the Wii

June 6th, 2008

A portion of a CasualGaming interview with Executive producer of Ubisoft’s Games For Everyone range Pauline Jacquey…

CG: Can you secure your position as the most successful third-party casual publisher on Nintendo formats this year?

PJ: Yes, of course. That’s the aim. We not very original in terms of strategy, we tend to follow what Nintendo’s doing. I shouldn’t say that, but it’s true so I am saying it. What we have that maybe Nintendo doesn’t is like a crazy touch that you find in Rayman Raving Rabbids and those type of games.

CG: Will we be seeing more innovation on Nintendo hardware from Ubisoft?

PJ: Yes. We have great inside information from Nintendo on the future of the console – information we’ve got very, very early relating to the man-machine interface.

Is this a tiny glimmer of hope for Ubisoft and the Wii? Oh wait, I guess not…this is the ‘Games for Everyone’ division.
