UbiSoft has always been the Wii's biggest third party supporter. However more recently they have much like Nintendo and every other Wii publisher shifted over to developing casual games. So the idea that UbiSoft sees the hardcore market as a potential gold mine is reason for great exitement.
UbiSoft's examples Red Steel and Legend Of Zelda are both very bad examples. Because both were launch games and one is a best selling first party franchise. Even Wind Waker viewed by many (Morons) as the worst Zelda game made sold millions on whats viewed by many (Idiots) as the worst of the last generation consoles. So regardless any Zelda game is going to top the charts.
RedSteel was also a launch title and the only shooter on a console built perfectly for shooters. Another advantage was the features UbiSoft claimed would be in the game but ended up being dropped. Such as real motion sword play at E3 they said your sword would move with the controller but upon release all it was, was three moves that alternated depending on your Wiimote movements. UbiSoft really promoted RedSteel and together with launch hype and misconceptions it managed to sell alot more copies then it should have.
That being said hardcore games are needed and a well done RedSteel2 or an action adventure game like Zelda would be amazing. I would love to see UbiSoft be the bigger man and give us hardcore gamers some hardcore games.
However I wish it was UbiSoft Montreal that was charged with bringing us an exclusive new Wii hardcore game. I also hope UbiSoft developes its own physics and graphics engine for the games they are getting ready to release recycled engines from last generation are shaming the Wii!
