Ubisoft shows Wii support by promising 7 launch titlesDela @ Aug 04, 2006 20:28 | 7 comments
The reason for the strong launch line-up is down to starting development earlier than rivals, according to North American Ubisoft president, Laurent Detoc. "We don't have a crystal ball but we think the Wii is going to be a huge success right away and we want to be the number-one independent publisher for Wii in 2006," he told IGN.
He added that the Far Cry title will include elements from Xbox title Far Cry Instincts Evolution, as well as a new storyline, equipment, levels and characters. The Wii remote will be used for first person shooting control as well as controlling vehicles. Control of Blazing Angels will require the left and right hands to perform separate rolls he also said.
Ubisoft has promised to reveal more details on the 7 game line-up shortly.

Comment by: s3a (Aug 05, 2006 01:43) The only good launch title there is Far Cry...I am still waiting for someone to make a Wii-mote for pc!!! I am going to be stubborn and not buy a Wii (for money purposes)!
P.S. If Nintendo makes a Wii-mote for PC...I am buying it, so...they will make money as well from that... |
