Dear Reader:
Ubisoft - we have inside information on the future of the Wii
A portion of a CasualGaming interview with Executive producer of Ubisoft’s Games For Everyone range Pauline Jacquey…
CG: Can you secure your position as the most successful third-party casual publisher on Nintendo formats this year?
PJ: Yes, of course. That’s the aim. We not very original in terms of strategy, we tend to follow what Nintendo’s doing. I shouldn’t say that, but it’s true so I am saying it. What we have that maybe Nintendo doesn’t is like a crazy touch that you find in Rayman Raving Rabbids and those type of games.
CG: Will we be seeing more innovation on Nintendo hardware from Ubisoft?
PJ: Yes. We have great inside information from Nintendo on the future of the console – information we’ve got very, very early relating to the man-machine interface.
Is this a tiny glimmer of hope for Ubisoft and the Wii? Oh wait, I guess not…this is the ‘Games for Everyone’ division.
