Ubisoft expects Wii U attach rate to improve

I’m sure a huge amount of gamers are just waiting for those Nintendo exclusives to be released so they can finally buy the Wii U, and I’m talking about SSB, Mario Kart, Zelda, SMT x FE, those kind of games.

Until now, I don’t feel like purchasing the Wii U or any of the released games, but I think this will change soon.

good luck buying the failed crap wii-u…

“Nintendo has recently announced the coming release of some of their great brands on Wii U, and we believe it will boost its potential.”

I know a certain Ubisoft brand that could “boost its potential”…

Won’t improve in a noticeable fashion until Zelda or Mario is released. That’s all Nintendo machines are good for; Nintendo’s continually rehashed IP’s.

@2 haven’t you got some PS4 news to be gushing over?

Don’t like Nintendo or Microsoft? Move on.

i believe Yves Guillemot mentioned something on his twitter about watch dogs coming to wii u so that might do the system good.

edit: was a parody site… my bad

I’ve done my fair share of boosting the attach rate. Have New Super Mario Bros. U, Asassin’s Creed III, Nintendo Land, Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Zombi U, as well as a few of the eShop titles, and I enjoy the hell out of them. Already a Platinum Nintendo Club member since I made an account in December.

The issue at the moment is a rather slow launch with not enough to cater to the varied tastes. Other than Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate, I don’t see myself picking up many more Wii U games until later in the year.

are ubisoft becoming nintedo puppets?

Its funny how people talk about rehashed IP but you can’t play anything like Mario Galaxy or Xenoblade on other sysytem. How many PS3 and 360 games are cover based shooters with regenerating health and auto jumping? LOL I can name at least 10. How many first person shooters do we have that all do the same COD shit? PS3 and 360 rehash all the time.

Most of Sony’s money goes to big budget shooters like Uncharted, Resistance, MAG, Killzone.

MS just does Halo and kinect shit.

I’m glad Nintendo is around. They still believe in Japan and RPGs like Fire Emblem Awakening, Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem x Shin Megami.

Plus Bayonetta 2 and The Wonderful 101! I know everybody likes shooters but if it wasn’t for Nintendo….. Shooters would take over the whole industry.

Like I said before Nintendo has placed themselves in a tricky/risky place with the Wii U. At this point all I use mine for is Netflix. Love the new controller and everything but thats not going to sell 90% of gamers alone. I’m desperately waiting for those first party games and I hope they are better than any of Nintendo’s released games yet.

I feel like the Wii was the gamecube 2 in a good way, but the Wii U is shaping up to be the gamecube 3 in a bad way.

@11 way to early to panic bro. Give them time. This fall you will be singing a different tune for sure. Every system goes through a dry spell. PS3 and Xbox 360 had the same issues at launch too.

I’m not panicking lol and this is different Francis. You talk about waiting this fall but you’re right I will be singing a different tune and hopefully playing one as well and thats the PS4 if SONY announces it for launch this year.

Who in their right mind will be focusing on Nintendo (Wii U) this fall on the edge of the true next gen consoles being launched plus the fact you have Vita with KillZone Mercenaries and GTAV. The only way for Nintendo to get any spot light this fall is if Rockstar is on crack and coke building a Wii U port of GTAV as we speak. That or they need a Mario,Zelda,Metroid triple release and we all know thats not going to happen. But of course look forward to Mario Wii U Kart next spring

@9 If that was true, I’m sure Rayman would have stayed a Wii U exclusive.

@13 If GTA V will make to Wii U, this is a must!

Slower than expected take-up of the WiiU is the core reason they have delayed Rayman I’m guessing. They can benefit from combined marketing come Christmas but what they are looking for is a bigger WiiU market I reckon.

@Francis O
“Most of Sony’s money goes to big budget shooters like Uncharted, Resistance, MAG, Killzone.”

When you are trying to demonstrate that other companies rehash too it’s best not to come up with a list which is 75% brand new IP’s this generation. That doesn’t re-enforce your argument very well

All companies try to create then exploit IP. It’s good business practice. I would really like to see Nintendo put out a big title that doesn’t use one of it’s established IP though. They do try to mix things up with some incremental releases but without the shackles of pandering to fans of the IP they could create something really special.

Aren’t Nintendo being a bit thick here?

All they had to do was make a fully fledged next gen HD pokemon game and the Wii-U would have sold a quadrazillion units. Hell, I would have got one.

Just imagine the possibilities of the extra screen too, it’d be a pokedex!

Only a drastic price cut like 3ds one can save wiiu.
Also, I don’t think the wiiu crowd supports good 3rd party games. After all, they still buy NSMBU which is just another rehash and forget games 3rd party games. 3rd parties are hardly at fault for pulling their hands out.

@18
I think we should reserve that judgment (Wii U crowd doesn’t support good 3rd party games) until something like Bayonetta 2 comes out. If that bombs, then yes, Wii U owners are indeed a bunch of Nintendo only fanatics but there is always the chance that games like that, Wonderful 101 and more can do decent numbers.

Tank Tank Tank! Was the jewel in the launch crown. Fun and a wonderful throwback to arcade games of yesteryear.

@18

Read that article this morning, is very good.
