Bruceski posted:I can understand saying "we're not going to actively develop for the WiiU unless things pick up," but if you have a game done and sitting on a shelf, why sit on it? My guess is that Ubisoft feels this game is one that lacks the longevity to sell well past its launch, so they're going for the typical AAA approach of "only launch week sales count," and launch week sales will almost always be bigger on a bigger install base. That said, this move is still, as far as I can gather, pretty stupid.

I like the WiiU, Nintendo, Nintendo Games, and stuff like that. They're very good to me.

Crowbear posted:So Ubisoft is just straight up saying that they're sitting on a finished Wii U game waiting for the instal base to grow. If it doesn't get big enough soon enough they might just scrap it or release it elsewhere. Why would Ubisoft stop being massive bell ends now even when the Wii U has something of an install base? Seriously, if Nintendo had any balls they've told them to gently caress right off after they used the Wii U as a Rayman Legends on every other platform advertising machine. It's not like Watch_Dogs is going to be worth it outside of it being 720/60 but I kinda doubt that.

Is a third Rayman game still happening. I only saw Assassin Creed stuff and other things I do not care about from Ubisoft.

Luigi U > 250k > Donkey Kong > PIKMIN3 > 230K RAYMAN > SONIC > MHU3 > 100K TW101: 74K Those are not good numbers. DKTF was literally the only retail game not based on a licensed property between Mario World and Mario Kart.

I wouldn't allow any partner to so utterly bugger up my business like Ubisoft have without any sort of retribution. Hell, I wager part of the reason Watch_Dogs has been a no show is that Nintendo have the Eye of loving Sauron upon that and the moment any certification build dips to 58 fps it gets flung right back at Ubisoft's face.

The reason Watch Dogs for Wii U isn't out was because Ubisoft needed more hands on deck on the versions that would actually sell, so the Wii U version devs were told to stop working on that to help out with the other versions. It has absolutely nothing to do with some insane imaginary Wii U cert process where Nintendo rejects anything that doesn't always run at a solid 60fps, a standard which, if enforced, would have blocked a number of Nintendo first party releases.

ConanThe3rd posted:Ubisoft jumped that ship long before we were in that "rear end" period (and I argue even made matters worse on the 3rd party situation). WiiU sales fell off a cliff 2 months after its holiday launch and have never recovered. There isn't really any, "before" rear end. Third party games sell terribly on the system. Nintendo has no leverage to enact any sort of insane "retribution" because Ubisoft is doing the company a favor for giving 20-50K sales any consideration at all.

You know that Ubisoft is a company operating for profit right? They're not a nonprofit dedicated to the advancement of Nintendo platforms. If they think they can make more money with a later launch window then they're gonna wait.

As a Wii U owner, not even I would buy Watch Dogs for the system when I can get it now for my PS3, or get it from the bargain bin on the PS4 once the WIi U version eventually comes out.

It's a good thing that you don't have to pay a subscription to play Nintendo online. That's why I won't buy a ps or Xbox...there's no way I'm paying a monthly bill to play online. I can do cable bill, cell phone bill, rent, but an XBOX bill? Fucccck that poo poo is for assholes

Fucccck that poo poo is for assholes PS3 is and always has been free to play online, and that's one of the reasons I bought one (I hardly use it anyway, but it's nice to have the option when I'm not paying for it). It's a shame the PS4's moving to the subscription model. At least they give away all kinds of free games and deals and poo poo for their customers. I probably won't pay anyway.
