Nintendo News | Ubisoft Love The Wii?

15.06.2006

Ubisoft certainly seem to have fallen head over heels with Nintendo's next generation console. On a release list sent to retailers in America recently, five new games appeared on the list from them for Wii - all seemingly within the launch window (launch time and the following few months) too!

First up is Blazing Angels, a World War 2 air combat game previously thought to be only released on Xbox and Xbox 360. A version of racer Asphalt: Urban GT also appears to be coming, though it is listed simply as GT, while Monster Trucks is also listed to uphold the racing genre.

Moving onto things that could be considered bigger news, a version of Prince Of Persia has been pencilled in. Finally, Far Cry has also been put forward, which is sure to bring joy to the hearts of FPS gamers who are committed to buying a Wii everywhere.

Stick with C3 for more as it comes!

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Biggest news for me is Prince of Persia. Praise the Lord. I frigging love that series. So glad Ubi are devoted to Wii and bringing popular franchises over.

Excellent, something meatier. Perhaps this new Prince of Persia will have some elements from Assassin's Creed.

Asphalt Urban GT 2 is also supposed to be coming to the DS in the near future as well. Ding Ding! Smilie

Yes Farcry I love you Ubisoft.

Dr_R 15.06.2006#9

Oh how I've fantasised about the freedom the Wii-mote could give to the Persian Prince!

This is great news.

FarCry is good, but the original game was developed by Crytek, who don't make games for Ubisoft anymore. Ubisoft Montreal have been making much more linear spin-offs ever since, this will be another.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

Jump_button 15.06.2006#11

^^ look like wii will have a good start let hope it keep going

The first Far Cry, or a sequel?

Oh dear, another Far Cry spin off looks likely Smilie Why Ubi Montreal... Why?

amtrid 15.06.2006#15

you need to worry a bit it seems to me that farcry will be the original or instincts but with wii functionality. prince of persia is odd considering they finished that series well. blazing angels is alright but lets hope it looks better the the 360 version but ill quite happily play the gt game with my wiimote

Fenton 15.06.2006#16

Bare in mind that Ubisoft now own the FarCry IP AND Cry engine, which means we might get some pretty solid games coming from them.

Mason 15.06.2006#17

Spinoff I imagine, but just 'Far Cry' was listed. It'll be by Ubisoft Montreal though, so shouldn't be too much to worry about.

Megadanxzero 15.06.2006#18

World War 2 eh? Sounds like another one for the bin...
The only interesting one there is PoP, though that is AWESOME

Blazing angles sounds intresting and Farcry could be good but i'm yet to be impressed with FPS on the wiimote.

Darkflame 15.06.2006#20

"prince of persia is odd considering they finished that series well."

Indeed.
I hope they dont wreck the story, as it was wonderfully done.

Why I kinda think going of on a tangent would be better then a direct sequal.

I cant help thinking a GTA/Spiderman2 style open-plan game would be fantastic.
Freerunning over the streets and rooftops of bablon.

Rather then having a bit story, it could be loads of smaller tales.
We have seen how the prince fights and dies, lets now see how he rules..
