[Jimmyfenix]

No nintendo games from UBI this year?

Ubisoft's E3 2014 lineup won't feature any Nintendo games, according to the publisher.

"We won't be showing off any Nintendo games at E3 this year," a Ubisoft representative said. Currently, the company is slated to show off Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, and more announced and unannouced games at E3 2014.

Strange. Why would Ubisoft NOT release a new Just Dance game this year on Wii+Wii U?
It's likely to be one of the unannounced games.

 

[Nirolak]

Split bump.

 

[Zornack]

AC: Comet to be only PS3/360?

 

[Gleethor]

But please buy Watch_Dogs in the fall.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

Does that mean nintendo exclusives or just games that won't appear on any of their platforms?

 

[Graphics Horse]

No point ruining all their Nintendo surprises.

 

[wapplew]

Why all third party have to mention that out laud?
Did Nintendo killed their parents or something?

 

[Petrae]

Unfortunate, but not surprising.

 

[Anth0ny]

not even watch dogs?

welp

 

[TeRey09]

Why are 3rd parties abandoning the Wii U?

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Hard to announce what doesn't exist (despite iwatas best attempts at doing several timesz before the games have even started development).

Well, if it is coming, it's the sort of game that won't benefit from the E3 audience anyway, really. So they won't miss much.

 

[Kolma]

Of course
They'll be showing Ubisoft games at E3
haha...ha...
*hides his sadness*

 

[10k]

You don't have any Nintendo games to show off, Ubisoft.

 

[Mengetsu]

Shocking.

Spoiler

Not really.

 

[udivision]

Why all third party have to mention that out laud?
Did Nintendo killed their parents or something?

They don't need to baby Nintendo or treat them with undeserved respect. Nintendo means little to them, and Nintendo has themselves to blame.

 

[Vinc]

They actually literally mean that they won't show off a NIntendo game. They told the reporter that since they don't own any of Nintendo's properties, it would be inappropriate for them to make a Mario or Zelda game of any kind.

Spoiler

Kidding, obviously

 

[Maintenance]

Ice cold.

Spoiler

Still waiting for Shadow Wars 2.

 

[emb]

Can't say I'm surprised.

Sad though.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Why are 3rd parties abandoning the Wii U?

because their games don't sell on wii u

 

[BY2K]

At this point you'd think a SHOCKING NEWS was in order in the thread title.

 

[PorygonVandal]

Well, I really don't see Ubisoft presenting a Metroid, Mario, Zelda....

So what's the surprise?

 

[cw_sasuke]

Ain't even mad.

 

[Chindogg]

That confirms no Assassin's Creed games I guess.

Pisser because AC4 was a blast on Wii U.

 

[Nirolak]

At this point you'd think a SHOCKING NEWS was in order in the thread title.

I would say it's at least mildly surprising if for no other reason than Just Dance.

Though, the answer might be they finally decided to stop showing that series at E3.

It must be pretty annoying to be constantly asked whether the Wii U is getting third party games. Similar to constantly being asked if pigs will ever fly.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Is the wording intentional?

Is:

We won't be showing any Nintendo games at E3 this year

Different from:

We won't be showing any Wii U games at E3 this year

?

 

[akidnamededdy]

Hey cool I wasn't gonna buy any Ubi games this year anyway.

 

[anexanhume]

 

[Shiggy]

How did the last few Just Dance games sell? No more sequels for those?

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

If only the industry spoke so freely about their unannounced projects as they do about shitting on Nintendo.

 

[Otakumegane]

Wait no Just Dance?

Or is this another CoD situation where 3rd parties aren't allowed to say anything until Nintendo does one of their direct things because that has happened a couple times already.

 

[sueil]

I'm completely shocked by this news.

 

[KingSnake]

Is the wording intentional?

Different from:



?

3ds, Wii.

 

[Phediuk]

Wasn't Just Dance the only going concern they had with Nintendo at this point?

I cannot say I'm surprised by this news.

 

[thefro]

It must be pretty annoying to be constantly asked whether the Wii U is getting third party games. Similar to constantly being asked if pigs will ever fly.

There's actually a ton of third party games coming out, but it's mainly indies at this point.

 

[R-User!]

From Rayman Legends early exclusivity, to this...

...wow Nintendo.

 

[Goldenroad]

If Ubi is done with the Wii U then, for all intents and purposes, Western development on the Wii U has ceased.

 

[Ludist210]

Not surprising, but I'm wondering if Nintendo's announcing them during their conference. That would be my guess, but I doubt it. Still, Just Dance 2015 not coming to Wii/Wii U? That seems off...

 

[Metallix87]

Tragic news, but expected.

 

[LiK]

 

[Neuromancer]

Damn. When Ubisoft gives up on you, you know you're in serious trouble.

They're not saying they're not making any games for Nintendo platforms, they're just not showing them at E3.

 

[Lernaean]

because their games don't sell on wii u

Actually Rayman sold more on WiiU.
I will back the Nintendo killed their mom opinion.

 

[sjay1994]

pretty much. When ubisoft stops supporting a console, its the sign you won't be seeing much else on it.

 

[Shiggy]

If Ubi is done with the Wii U then, for all intents and purposes, Western development on the Wii U has ceased.

Lego games are probably still coming. Oxygene Media is also fully behind the console.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

So what were we hopeful for (excluding multiplats)? ZombiU2?

(not sarcasm, haven't caught up with what ubi's doing)

 

[JayEH]

Things are bad if Ubisoft is dropping support for the console.

 

[akidnamededdy]

If only the industry spoke so freely about their unannounced projects as they do about shitting on Nintendo.

Publicly dumping on an industry leader is a-ok but god help you if you somehow find out the subtitle to the Halo game that was announced last year!

 

[Broken Joystick]

AC: Comet to be only PS3/360?

Confirmed ages ago.

 

[Cymbal Head]

Well I guess I figured they would be showing off Ubisoft games.

Wait wait.

Ohhhhhhhh. Cold.
