Forums - Nintendo - Ubisoft: “Nintendo have some of the best IP in the world”

Having already expressed his company’s belief in Nintendo, Ubisoft’s Alain Corre has further complimented the company by stating they “have some of the best IP in the world.”

With Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, and Super Smash Bros. hitting Wii U during the next year, the third-party publisher feels assured that Nintendo will be able to shift more consoles at retail.

“There are millions, tens of millions of fans of Nintendo brands. I’m sure you’ve played Mario Kart for hundreds of hours. I did too,” Corre confessed to IGN.

“There are so many great franchises that are still making people dream. We think these brands will stay with us. After that, it’s up to Nintendo to make sure that the machine can reach as many consumers as possible. We all think that they’ll be able to sell more machines in the future.

“They have some of the best IP in the world, and some of the best memories for their players. If you’ve played Smash Bros. in the past, you want to play the next one. So these brands have a future, for sure. It’s up to them to work on more communication to get the machine into more hands.”

I think this interview is older than the Nintendo-Insider-article and he also put faith in the Vita in the same interview. I think there was a thread about it on VGC.

EDIT: Found the thread http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=166924

“We were very pleasantly surprised by Sony’s last push on the Vita,” Corre told IGN. “Decreasing the price and investing a lot in new IP and trying to use the Vita as a second screen for the PS4, all of that gives a lot of advantages for the future of the Vita. We’re watching that space and making sure that our PS4 games work on Vita, so the global experience on PS4 is even better.”

Sure, man. Do you recommend Assassin's Creed 3?

Far Cry 3 is really good...

You know a Nintendo console is in trouble when its best platformer is a third party game (Rayman).

Or alternatively, you know that the console has only been out for 10 months. Rayman will be dethroned this November.

Speaking of Rayman, I think it's really funny that it doesn't have online multiplayer, something Nintendo takes a lot of flak for in games like Mario Bros. U, Nintendo Land, and Pikmin 3. Yet no one utters a peep against Rayman for the same issue.
