AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ubisoft making an "AAA" game on a Nintendo platform! That's rich!
Sorry, but I'm not falling for it again. It's going to be shit, and a C-team is going to work on it with a budget better suited for a 3DS or Wii game. Just watch.
And why would Ubisoft care about building a fanbase for Nintendo? Wait, they already done that and failed.
The sky is blue.

They've never done anything on the Wii to earn that trust from Nintendo gamers.I'd agree with you if this was some sort of PR statement or an interview but this is job postings. Why are they going to hire AAA developers specifically for Wii U only to make a C-level project?
Well, what would a job posting say, if you're a bad developer join us for Wii U shovelware? They'd want to attract the best people that will, er, fall for it, regardless, no? Not just for this but for any future projects. We don't know the position terms, proposed pay and such, do we? Just that it's full time for a claimed AAA project. Doesn't mean the game will get that sort of budget and attention. Anyway, definitely doesn't sound like an MMO with that matchmaking stuff. What other AAA games has that team done?I'd agree with you if this was some sort of PR statement or an interview but this is job postings.

I'll accept that it says AAA in the job postings, but I won't believe it until I see the game(s) with my own two eyes.
Rabbids and Just Dance would disagree with you.
Rabbids wasn't a seller.
Just Dance was several years into the Wii's life after it already had millions in install base.
it was a moderate to good seller. broke 1mil
Well, that really depends on who you ask...
Ubisoft is the #1 Third Party publisher on both Wii and 3DS
ASS CREED ONLINE
1mil isn't going to cover the cost of an MMO. Expect 10% of the install base to subscribe, and even less to stay on for more than 3 months.
That's because they just throw shovelware around like crazy. Here's a list of the decent Ubisoft games on Nintendo platforms in the past 5 years.
Red Steel 2 (which Nintendo helped with)
Just Dance series
Rayman Origins (which is a port)
Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars (which was pure luck, had no marketing budget, and is now being ported to iOS)
Compare that to well over a hundred pieces of shitware and tons of broken promises. (Assassin's Creed 3DS anyone?) No. Not falling for it. You will be burned.
Why are people typing as if this the MMO is confirmed to be coming to Wii U, let alone as a launch title?
That's not what I said, I was just correcting you.
Besides, it's silly to directly compare the sales potential of a rabbids game and a full scale MMO. Though yeah, I agree that an mmo at launch may not be the best idea.
Breaking 1 mil on the Wii isn't really spectacular though. Anything remotely interesting and casual could break 1 mil. Even that terrible Carnival Game probably broke 1 mil.
Squeenix farms out Dragon Quest X development to Ubisoft?
Being completely serious though:

This really does sound like a non-MMO game.
That's not to say Ubisoft's MMO couldn't be for the Wii U, but that the AAA Wii U game sounds like a different project.
Said "Wii U AAA project" is Assassin's Creed as far as I know.Being completely serious though:

Dance mmo "You got served"
I think an MMO would work wonderfully on the Wii U controller. I'm interested to see what will come of this but I'll definitely keep my expectations in check.
On the topic of Wii U MMO possibilities, my wet dream come true would be Phantasy Star Online 2 on the Wii U.
Not sure if serious?It's a new Assassin's Creed spin-off, as indicated by the first teaser:
