Forums - Gaming - Ubisoft Explains Why Assassin's Creed Unity Is Skipping Wii U

"not powerful enough a console to handle Ubisoft's full vision for the game, and it refused to compromise."

Suuuuure... it's not like Ubi would ever compromise with the quality of their games....

lol wow this is hilarious. what happened to third parties? there is not a single respectable third party company anymore. i remember when they used to make good games, but now its just nickle and dime, release broken games to patch later, release fractions of games, and (regarding nintendo) shit like this. excuses, bullshit, inferior versions of games (watchdogs) etc. seriously, fuck ubisoft. the only DECENT effort they put into a wii u game was zombiu.

ooooooh ok. So they had to make the PS4 and Xbox One versions the same so they could give this lame excuse for why it's not coming to the WiiU.

It's all coming together now.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

This is so stupid. Each game that Ubisoft has made for the Wii U has been a lesser version than those on other systems. Previous Assassin's Creed games, Watch Dogs...

Gee, I wonder why the Wii U version of 3rd party games is always the "lesser" version compared to the PS4 and X1 versions?  I guess we'll never know...

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Ubisoft should probably just stop releasing statements altogether.



The engine is already held back by 6 CPUs from xbone and ps4 so no surprise here...

let us decide

but because I dont believe I say fuck them.


But didn't people already decide by not buying, not one but two, Assassins Creed games on the WiiU.. Ubisoft showed more love to the WiiU then any other major third party publisher but got no love back...


Both ACIII and IV sold around 200k. Not great sales by any means, but certainly not BAD considering the install base either, especially at the time, and considering both were at least somewhat inferior ports, when they absolutely shouldn't have been. Regardless, Ubisoft's game are also more or less the top selling third party titles on Wii U, especially if you look at Zombi U and Rayman Legends. Considering that, while I'm certain theyt want their titles to sell more, they also were the ones who said it was "inexpensive" to port to Wii U, and their games have sold enough to tell them that many Wii U gamers do want them. It's really on them for their shoddy support, and jerking fans around. We'll see how Watch_Dogs does this holiday season, hopefully it does alright, but similar to Rayman Legends, I do feel the delay is going to hurt it's sales.



What they really mean; Fuck you Nintendo fans because you don't buy 3rd party games.

And I agree with them, fuck us Nintendo fans, we're not playing 3rd party games. Do we really deserve to get ports when we don't buy them?

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
