Rossco gets his dance moves out to review the latest Ubisoft offering in the just dance series.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot waxes poetic on the Nintendo Switch, also revealing that its version of Just Dance 17 was the best selling for the game.
Trust. They are very pleased with that set up. They spent generations trying to sell IP on Nintendo systems and its clear simply using a Nintendo IP makes more sense. I had a feeling this would be really great for them, no more trial and error I hope from them.
I see them doing more Nintendo properties, I'd like to see them do another Mario RPG, but more like traditional turned based ala Paper Mario or Mario RPG. I wonder if you'll see the likes of EA or Activision making Switch games that use Nintendo properties.
You bring up some valid points on EA and Activision. It seems just about anything could happen with the Switch right now.
And with your Mario RPG comment, Edmix, we just became friends. I'm sorry for your gain.
Agreed.
I'm not expecting many ports from Ubi, so AC Origins is out of my consideration [and would be a HUGE SHOCK if it actually did happen down the road], but I think they might be able to work some decent magic in terms of IP collaborations with Nintendo.
After Zombie U, that seems unlikely. What is working for them, is clearly using Nintendo characters to sell content to Nintendo fans. I'd like to see them continue that focus.
Heck if anything, they can do some sort of Luigi's mansion with zombies and Luigi fights them with a vacuum or something lol They have a wealth of options considering Nintendo's IPs.
Zombi U was actually one of the few third party games to break 1 million copies on Wii U. The sales were really as good as it gets for that platform tbh.
I know Ubisoft didnt make money on it - but if they can figure out how to build on that foundation (which was a solid one for a sequel) then they could have a nice niche horror series on Nintendo platforms.
@Concertoine- I didn't know that. Maybe a sequel really is in the works then.
I do't know if it will only be on Nintendo platforms though considering it did come to other systems after. With Switch not having a second screen, we might see it come to Switch, PS4 and XONE day and date.
Well they were clever and delivered a good game with critical acclaim (85 on metacritic). Keep up the cleverness. I say continue with the Nintendo IP's. Develop a game for a sure to sell IP like Diddy Kong Racing.
Exactly how I see it. Right now, the first Switch game I see myself buying is that Ubisoft Mario RPG and Animal Crossing, or SMTV if its out at that time.
I might. I'm on the fence as I really only want to play 1 game which is that Mario RPG game.
I might also get a PSVR if I can get it for like $199 and even that is a maybe, I mean I already own RE7 and RIGS was free on PSN.
You don't want to play Zelda Breath Of The Wild, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Pokken Tournament, Arms, Fire Emblem Warriors, or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? Then we also have coming out Metroid Prime 4, Shin Megami Tensei, No More Heores, Pokemon RPG, new Yoshi game, New Kirby game!!!!!!!! SO MANY!!!!
@Dark- I already played BOTW on Wii U
I'll likely play Kirby and that new Yoshi game. The rest....not really. Not every gamer who looks to buy a Nintendo system buys all those games, consider its why they are not all selling the exact amount of units sold of the system ie 100% attach rate. Also consider many of what I want isn't even out yet, Animal Crossing hasn't been confirmed and no release date yet for SMTV as that likely is not coming this fall, so for me...it is only 1 game this fall.
...for me its 1 game this fall. "I might. I'm on the fence" Soooooo yea. If all Switch owners really cared about those game that much, ALL Nintendo published games would be moving bigger units, its clear we ALL don't think that as the sales sorta show that.
In Southeast Asia, a Nintendo Switch bundle that isn’t available anywhere else has been spotted on store shelves.
With Ubisoft's showcase happening we've all had a chance to digest everything that was thrown at us and running through the list they looked to have done better then previous years.
Ubisoft was the stand out for me personally. They had my favorite conference this year, which is shocking!
I think that they did really well during E3 2017, and they tossed in quite a few surpises as well (I for one didn't expect to see Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto at their event, for example).
