If so I'm wondering why they were allowed to talk about it (not in a Nintendo context of course but since the rumours have been out there for months people drew the connection immediately) and how far along the game actually is.
Maybe it's a Nintendo franchise that Ubisoft is allowed to make a game of for Switch? That would be wild and interesting.

Yves is the biggest Nintendo fanboy
Ubisoft is all in, like I said I expect Jan 12th Ubisoft will announce a bunch of games
BG&E 2
For Honer
Ghost Recon Wildlands
Steep
Just Dance 2017
Then maybe some ports of older games like RB6 Siege and Watch_Dogs 2
I bet they also confirm the next AssCreed game coming
But what I really want is Zombi Switch aka ZombiU 2
Oh yea he says Ubisoft dev teams so yea a lot of there dev teams are making games
Surprising game is def BG&E 2 or ZombiU 2 lol
I'm in for BG&E and For Honor. If it gets those two I will be content.

For Honor would be dope as hell on the go
Honestly, any home console game on the go would be dope when you really think about it....

Maybe Ubisoft and Nintendo (and Ancel) agreed it would be in everyone's best interest to tease the game in order to help hopefully stave off the Vivendi buyout?
Who knows...
An embarrassment of riches!

I'm starting to worry there might be too many games at launch lol
I'm not seeing this. The reason why Ubisoft was one of the few successful publishers on Wii was their willingness to develop new games for it. Not just ports. Some ports will be there, for sure. But I don't expect Ubisoft to treat Switch the same as PS4/XBO. Do we even want that?
I want Rayman.
Would make sense. I'm sure there's a lot of respect for Ancel at Nintendo and I'm sure they don't want to lose one of their biggest allies to Vivendi.

I'm still not sure about BG&E2 being on Switch at all, let alone an exclusive...but Ubisoft usually makes a couple of exclusives for Nintendo's hardware so I'd imagine they have something in the works.
He talks a lot about the Switch in a pretty positive way, hopefully it works out for Ubi and Nintendo.
I like how he mentioned the 3DS's 55-60M sales as a positive since that's still a pretty good installbase despite people mentioning that it severely underperformed.
Would be nice if Nintendo managed to get a system with handheld level sales and console level games/specs. That would be pretty interesting to see play out

First they'll have to release anything at all.
Yea Ubisoft is good with new games on new Nintendo hardware
Red Steel, ZombiU, and Ghost recon Shadow wars on 3DS a spin off
If Nintendo paid for it it will be exclusive. If not then not.
I am wondering what Nintendo offered Ubisoft for their support. Being buddies is all fine and well but in business, politics play a huge role. I could really see Ubisoft asking for something in return for exclusives and ports and more than just Nintendo's marketing power.
For example I could see Nintendo characters in the Rabbids TV show, or more cross-promotion opportunities.
Yeah, I think best somewhat likely case is it 'dominates' Japan, doing somewhat less than 3DS but sizeably more than PS4 and that it does okay, but not great worldwide. So like 50-60 million. I'll be surprised if it out performs 3DS. But, yes, a system like that that can take PS4/XBone ports has huge potential to revolutionize Nintendo's third party relations, especially in Japan if it does dominate.
Well, we know that's in production though. So it can't be a surprising game.
I'm guessing they're working on a first party title for Nintendo.

As others have noted, if rumours are true, Nintendo are footing the bill.

From Software... oh god, the thought of having a new Souls-type game on a Nintendo console... it's too much.
One interesting interview with several indies that I think is suited for this thread:

More on topic from it:
I guess one Shin'en game is to be expected at launch like on Wii U.

That's my guess too (unless he means BG&E2 which would be pretty lame at this point lol). Maybe a Ubisoft Metroid Prime? That could be interesting.

Uh-oh, that don't sound good. It sounds like how EA dumbed down their sports titles on the Wii and gave them that "all play" or whatever moniker.

I actually never thought of Nintendo giving Ubisoft an IP to work on. That would be cool!

I think that only Just Dance is definitely going to be on the Switch, BG&E 2 is possible and there is no chance for the other games.

Agreed, I do not think we will see Ghost Recon Wildlands and For Honor on Switch.

Just like Elvis, you can now die on the toilet!
It is!
Capcoms output so far on PS4/XBO has been kinda lackluster tbh - so im not opposed to them trying something diffrent on Switch. From the so far announced PS$/XBO games i only expect REMake, RE Zero and the upcoming RE2 Remake to hit Switch.

I think it was more the games, not necessarily the Wii U at the beginning. The ZombiU port for PS4/XOne bombed hard, it had good sales on Wii U.
After flawed ports like Assassins Creed 4 no one wanted other Ubi ports on Wii U.

More tests *sigh*
I wonder what Yves Guillemot meant by "ultra-accessible", as in French, "accessible" can also be translated as "affordable", and not only as "easy to use" / "easy to understand".I don't think it's thread-worthy, but I just bumped into this comment from Yves Guillemot that everyone overlooked, probably because it's in French, even though it contains an interesting sentence.
I translated it as :
With the design and the uniques abilites of the Switch, Nintendo should revolutionize again the way we play. Ultra-accessible, this console will offer to all of us the liberty and pleasure to share our game experience and to play anywhere and at any time. The Ubisoft teams who are creating games for the Switch are inspired by all these new possibilities, and I'm very happy that we can continue to make big things with Nintendo. In addition to Just Dance 2017, I'm thinking especially about a game that will surprise you a lot !
I wonder what surprising game it could beyond Good & Evil 2
Rayman on Wii U was more successful then the ports too, wasn't it?
I think that while Ubisoft have their Division and Assassin's Creed they want to reach the kid's market just as much. Activision has Skylanders and Ubisoft has... the Rabbids. There's more potential here. I could also imagine both companies share a similar culture when it comes to their quirky identity.

If it's an Bayonetta 2 like situation, it will stay exclusive. If it's a ZombiU situation, ports could be possible. But regarding the history of BGE2 it is probably a canceled game that got funded by Nintendo, like Bayonetta 2.
GTA V on the switch sounds like a no brainier, i mean the game is still selling more than soo many new releases even 3 years after it came out?Why wouldn't there be a port?.. I mean rockstar made lots of money from the PSP gta games, with switch being a handheld, the audience is way more wider than say wii u, whats to stop them from porting the game to the switch? If they do they're not going to lose any money in this game??
with take-two being a big partner this time, why is it not realistic to think GTAV is going to be on the switch??? No way is power an issue this time around?? Userbase won't be a issue either i mean the 3ds had like what 50 million user base half of that user base is definitely going to switch over,
Does nintendo still have anti GTA stigma like they did during the gamecube days?? or is it the other way around Is Rockstar still shook from the sales of Chinatown wars??

Rockstar would NOT spend THAT much money on the eventual port of GTA5 to Switch that they would need to sell 3-5 million copies to recoup the cost.
It at least sold on par with them.
Beyond Good & Evil 2 wouldn't surprise anyone anymore. It's an open secret at this point.
I'm expecting a new We Dare!
Opportunity costs.
In addition to that I kinda doubt Rockstar would release GTA V without GTA Online, which I wouldn't expect to run on Switch anyway.
Bringing up GTA PSP games is looking at this from the wrong angle. I'm sure the Mobile ports of the old games replaced the PSP.
Tbh the only way I could see a GTA on Switch would be a port of a new Mobile game. That's not condescending, it's just what the business is nowadays.
If BG&E2 is funded and published by Nintendo, makes me wonder if they'll go the extra mile and port the first game with a few visual enhancements here and there as well.
I mean, it came out for GCN but that was 13 years ago. It'd be a nice way to revisit the franchise for those who already played it (on any platform) AND to attract new people telling them "here is where everything started"
That is of course if they treat it as a proper sequel and not some sort of reboot of the franchise.

If they treat it as a proper sequel, then I expect a HD version of the first game, but didn't they say this new game is like the first one, but also different?

I could already play anywhere anytime Yves, only now I can do it in a less portable form factor with 3 hours of battery life, hooray
Umm the president of the company is praising the system, the same company that put almost all their core games on WiiU and supported the Wii
He isnt even making a vague statement like other 3rd parties
Ubisoft is the one western company I expect to come out strong on Switch
