Brothers in Arms + "unnanounced new brand"+ A Star Trek game (Encounters probably) + Rainbow 6 = 4 more. Other slim possibiities - Catz/Dogz/Horsez, Alexandra Ledermann 7, DF - Black Hawk Down and Myst: Complete edition.

(Don't quote me on any of this, unless I'm right.)

Did Ubisoft make POTC2 for all the current consoles? If so then that was announced ages ago, unless it's been canned then that should be a launch title or near launch.

Ubisoft FTW. They deserve it for their backing of the Wii.

Ubisoft should get a cookie for their marvelous support - they do the job of several third parties alone :)

Also hope it's BGE 2. It was quite entertaining but some aspects were a bit flawed imo - too much stealth too little fighting for instance.
Still I want to play part 2. The story kept me gripped.
But if Ancel makes BGE it's most likely to hit the Wii because he won't have big budget for it since the first one didn't do so well and it will be much cheaper to produce for a non-HD console then.

only game worth looking into for wii, xbox 360 will have better port of splinter cell and pop. Far cry is better on PC and the rest is crap.

Far cry is better on PC and the rest is crap.The Far Cry we're getting is not the same that is out for the PC, ours is a sequel to Far Cry Instints for Xbox (initially meant for PS2 and GC too, but Microsoft paid for the exclusive).

Bare in mind that the crytek team is now doing their CryEngine 2 for Crysis, but it's not for Ubisoft... it's for EA.

My point is... it's not better; it's a diferent game, made by diferent teams, the only thing in common is the engine and the franchise name.

As for PoP... I'll probably get it on Wii.

I'd agree with you, but Rayman looks excellent and seems to be quite different on the Wii than on the other home consoles.

Prince of Persia though....I don't see any Wii PoP game being out by March 2007/

To add another thing to pedrocasilva's comment.....How can you say it's better on PC if you've never played the Wii one?

It'll be Brothers in Arms, Naruto game, new franchise, and some shit game

To add another thing to pedrocasilva's comment.....How can you say it's better on PC if you've never played the Wii one?

Because I like games with good graphics and good controls, the one on the pc was good all of these ports of the same game with different bits tacked on is crap.

Intresting. Ubi must really think Wii will be a success.

That;s the wrong attitude, and the rediculous attitude of most publishers/developers.

It's not just the console that makes a console good. It's the GAMES!! Without them the console would be pointless, so if Ubisoft make good games for it, it should help it's success.
That attitude was what made the Cube lose 3rd party support.

It is incredible that Ubisoft are supporting the Wii so heavily, I guess that's the low development costs shining through. It's also a bit of a gamble on the system, but one worth taking because if Wii takes off the way we all think, they are going to be the 3rd party with all of the brands already on the system and familiar to users.

They've done a very good job at making their games known too. Take Zelda out of the equation and Red Steel and Raving Rabbids are selling the system at launch. They're the two biggest games other than Zelda - it speaks VOLUMES. When has that ever happened at Nintendo launch? Two new franchises too (admittedly Rayman is an old brand, but the game is totally radical).

All in all, Ubisoft are owed a lot of respect for this support.

I would quite like a CSI game on the Wii. Could be a phoenix Wriht style game, with less of going to court and more evidence finding. As you do.
Oooo id love a CSI game.

Cube

25-10-2006, 12:16 PM

A Star Trek game (Encounters probably)

If they make one, it probably be the N64...er, I mean the PS2 (it looks like an N64 game) Star Trek game..

..but then, The Wii should be able to handle Legacy just fine (its Bridge Commander with added bumps and lighting, graphics-wise)

all i can say is thank god for Ubisoft. I expect to buy Red Steel, and hope to get Far Cry too. Some of the others I'd pick up at budget.

Don't bet on it. Legacy is only on 360 and PC, so I think it will need a fairly beefy system.

25-10-2006, 07:25 PM

Please Mr. Ancel, get Beyond Good & Evil 2 on the Wii! Exclusive, please. Because we Nintendo fans know good games when we see them. I played Beyond Good and Evil on the cube and it was great. It was great. So come on- we all want it. Not(1)?

(1) = yes, we do.

Thats exactly what I was just thinking...it would actually be perfect for the wiimote, with the camera and staff and shit. I've had it for ages, but I've just started replaying it...need to find 15 pearls for the jump extention thingy, its a bit of a bitch...

2. Do you really think anyone actually takes you seriously anymore?? You always talk crap and seem to have the mind of a 10 year old, though you lack the grammar of one.

This is the internet grammer doesn't count here

And its far cry revenge its the original game with a tacky expansion glued on like everyone before it.

Theres only 3 good looking games on the Wii, TP, rayman and red steel

Oh I think you'll find it does, that is if you don't want to be put in the same category as chavs, pigs, general scum and lets face it, Sony Fanboys, which, by the by, is where you already are, thanks to your insanely annoying and mindless posts

And its far cry revenge its the original game with a tacky expansion glued on like everyone before it.

Actually, I think you'll find that the game is, infact called "Vengeance" which may not exactly be a far cry (ho ho) from revenge, but is, in fact enough to illustrate my point; you are a retard.

Anywho...seeing as my sister just beat me at Soul Calibur...repetedly I might add, which is just annoying enough so as I make my way over here to this haven among gaming forums, I'm cranky and pissed off and less able to suffer fools, which brings me back to you, the fool, I'm done suffering you, so go now, before I give you reason enough to write a large book entitled "Help, A Large Asian Bloke Is Beating My Ass: The Zelda Freak Story..."

Theres only 3 good looking games on the Wii, TP, rayman and red steel

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Smash Bros, Mario, Metroid etc all fit in there somewhere, although my spidey senses are trying to tell me that you were in fact, trying, rather retardedly to refer to launch titles, in which case I would point you in the vague direction of Excite Truck and Call of Duty, which may not look as good as 360 games, but then, anyone still trying to hold out for next gen graphics on Wii, is, quite frankly, a complete tool, so on that note...peace out.

I was talking about launch day anyway, and anyway I don't post crap as you seem to have suggested one farcry game fine 101 farcry games, How to destroy a games appeal.

Oh yes and this is the internet, you don't need fucking grammer its an internet message board aka a forum, fool.

And seen as we have a right to insult seen as you insulted me, a bard is the similiar to a jester, so I'll see you later fool.

Although I don't have the time, nor patience to decipher that butchery of the english language, I'll go ahead and give this a gander:

If were going on names here, I suggest you give your own a good hard look, although when I think freak, I think funny, like that gimp from pulp fiction, but you're neither funny ha ha, nor funny strange. You're just annoying; an insult to freaks everywhere.

False. Where do come up with this crap?

Anyways as much as I love bards flaming freaks, back to topic.

I think it's really wise of Ubisoft to be supporting the wii this much, because I'm pretty confident that the wii will be a huge hit this xmas, with a large sum of... no-ones listening to me are they? :(

Yeah, Ubisoft are gonna hit it huge this christmas, they're the largest supporter of the Wii, which is gonna sell massively, and everyone I know is looking to pick up at least 1 Ubi game on launch, so good tactics from them atm.

I'm listening dude - and I reckon Ubisoft will be laughing all the way to the bank! - It's looking pretty much like a dead cert that the Wii is the must have item for Chrimbo this year - which is good news for us gamers - more games publishers will sit up and take notice and we hopefully will never have to suffer the games drought the poor gamecube suffered.

Zell

26-10-2006, 01:37 PM

I'm still surprised no-one else has been supporting wii as much as they are doing. It's common sense that the wii's gonna sell loads this xmas, so if every company released their "big hitters" then they too would be raking it in. EA have Need For Speed and Madden prepped for launch (I think) and they'll be xmas number one I imagine.

Hmmm now that this matter has been dealt with back on topic - I would love to see a sequel to beyond good and evil however I really cant see it happening due to it's commercial failure which is a real shame as it was a fantastic game - a real shame.
