Ubisoft only make crap for Nintendo consoles, you actually see the examples.

DKII: Did you get any reaction on the shovel you send them?

On topic: Ubisoft hasn't done anything since Ubidays to justify saying they're putting some effort into Wii games.

Red Steel 2, why get excited over a game that's below mediocricy, I wouldn't get my hopes up. It's probably cancelled, which is a good thing.

Good question--why WOULD you be excited for Killzone 2?

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

 Lol, so true!...

Assassins Creed was WAY too over-rated! As is the Rainbow Six series and the Ghost Recon series in my opinion!

The only games I really liked from Ubisoft are Splinter Cell 1-3, Beyond Good and Evil and Prince of Persia... (you know, the first one of the 3 that appeared on PS2/Xbox/GC... The other two are mediocre).

As we all know by now, Ubisoft's name is currently mud in the minds of most Nintendo fans. This is understandable after Ubidays, and in light of some recent comments by Ubisoft executives and employees. But while updating the Nintendo E3 thread, I noticed something I hadn't anticipated: it's possible that Ubisoft is actually putting some effort into their Nintendo titles, as we'll see at E3.

Granted that My Weight Loss Coach and the Stop Smoking game are hardly what most of us think of when we hear "games", but they're both actually pretty intriguing concepts that can help a person in real life, which is why I think Reggie said Ubisoft "gets" the DS.

On the Wii front, they also seem to be doing more than I first suspected. Mind you, we'll have to see how Prince of Persia turns out, and Red Steel 2 (hopefully) won't show this year, but the Rabbids team actually seems to enjoy what they're doing, and even Dogz 2008 doesn't seem to be shovelware, as they've assigned the game to Ubisoft Montreal (a top-tier team who made Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, and other Ubisoft money machines).

I don't think I'll personally be interested in Dogz, or Weight Loss, or the smoking game, but it's beginning to seem like Ubisoft hasn't completely neglected Nintendo just yet (although their PR machine is terrible). So what are your thoughts?

Personally, I'm not upset with Ubisoft because they're releasing a different type of game for the Wii than they're releasing for the XBox 360 or PS3; afterall that is an understandable decision based on their beliefs about the market (which I personally disagree with). I am upset with Ubisoft because they were claiming that they were going to deliver Nintendo quality game experiences on the Wii, and then they release games which are particularly bad quality (for a genre known for bad quality games) and fail to market any decent game they release for the Wii.

To a certain extent it is like watching someone who is performing a self destructive behavior (doing drugs, gambling or over-eating) who blames everyone else for their problem and fails to take the basic steps to fix it regardless of how much they talk about it.

I'll replace the boycotts in my sig whenever I see fit. In the case of Ubisoft I don't see a reason why I should lift the boycott.

Why the beer boycott though?

If you mean at the quality of Donkey Kong Barrel Blast and Wii Play then yes.

Because beer is bad, just like all the other things I boycott. Well okay, I just boycott the Wii Shop to not have to gift naznatips a game due to a lost bet.

 

OK, for every beer you don't drink, I will drink three from now on.

This man speaks the truth, Ubisoft is the only company that puts out high budget shovel ware quality games.

Look at Assassin's Creed, I own a PS3 I've played some of there offerings and they all are just empty shells, but the shells look good.

It's not that they make good games, it's that they don't make games for the consumers to have fun, but oh boy do they sell. If anything I sold into the hype for Assassins Creed, but nothing else.. I also sold into the name for PoP(Wii)

That's all they have name and publicity.

Also no name, good job on the list of Nintendo games coming out.
