Forums - Nintendo - new ubisoft shovelware title announced for the ds and wii.

If you're willing to count the DS, then Imagine: Babyz certainly counts. It's over a million copies sold now.

Anyway, Ubisoft is not "killing" the Wii. They're using it and the DS both as a springboard platform to put the budgets into their high-profile games. Just like almost every other development company does. The fact that they're mostly putting out their downmarket games on Wii, and mostly putting their upmarket games on 360 and PS3, is just a form of demographic identification. They're not even that far off in their assessment, either; not one hardcore game has done anywhere near as well as the downmarket games like Wii Fit have on the Wii, save the ones made by Nintendo. And like most companies, Ubisoft doesn't understand why, so they go with the easiest formula: put the downmarket stuff on Wii (where they know it'll sell), and put the upmarket stuff on 360 and PS3 (where they know it'll sell).

Beautifully said. And this is why i support ubisoft. It is every companies buisness strategy pretty much and ubisoft was honest about it. Personally I enjoy my other 2 systems more then the wii and get enouph of it at friends house so I'am comfortable with this buisness model.

As you can see, their top sellers on the Wii are the Raving Rabbids games (which we're seeing another of soon), Red Steel (which I understand has a sequel on its way), No More Heroes (which is out of their hands since they only published it), and the Petz series. For the most part, their greatest success on the Wii has been from what is technically a pair of downmarket games, Raving Rabbids and Raving Rabbids 2.

Yup and since the best hardcore for Ubisoft are bad imo anyway, I don't care if we get the shovelware or the "good" stuff.



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

^^can you please name one ubisoft wii shovelware title that sold 500,000 copies?

Define shovelware young Holmes. What score would it need on Metacritic to be considered shovelware? I'm sure you would consider this Ubisoft monstrosity shovelware:

but it scored better than this:

and this:

and this:

and yes this too:

plus it's only 2% lower than this:

and this:

 

 

 

the games you listed there not even shovelware titles, and no one answered my question. 
please name one ubisoft wii shovelware title that sold 500,000 copies?

 

Rayman Raving Rabbids and Red Steel are two shovelware titles that sold over 500,000. Now you can answer my request. Define shovelware. Low metacritic scores? Genres you have no interest in? Games you hear about from others as being shovelware? Or do you actually play each of these Ubisoft games before declaring them such, because i'd love to know how you got your hands on a copy of Hell's Kitchen.

You mean like forum moderators that hold as much PR power as the Ubisoft janitors confusing the entire internet of Wii owners that somehow them answering a question on their own boards and giving his opinion can somehow be misconstued as a press release?

Looks like Ubizoft can't sell a single Wii game. They had 2 million sellers at launch, and their only million seller since was a sequel to one of those. Since then they've got 17 flops. Wow. No More Heroes is incredible but they only published it. Nitrobike might have been fun. Did any of you play that?

Yes.

 

The guy was telling the truth though.  Look at their HD games and then look at their 20 games for the Wii.  Imagine: Lulz.
