Ergens dit jaar moet de nieuwe console van Nintendo op de markt komen, de Wii U. Ontwikkelaar Ubisoft liet eerder al weten erg enthousiast te zijn over de console, nu heeft het bedrijf opnieuw aan grote plannen te hebben met de Wii U. Sterker nog, Ubisoft wil zelfs de nummer 1 third-party ontwikkelaar worden voor de console. Toney Key van ubisoft sprak zich hierover uit. Ook liet hij weten dev-kits van de Wii U vrij vroeg te hebben gekregen, de ontwikkelaar wil hier dan ook zijn voordelen uit halen. Meer over de uitspraken van Key hiernder:
“We have big plans for Wii U. Our intention is to be the number one third-party on Wii U, just like we were on Kinect and just like we were on 3DS.
“We’ve always had a really close relationship with Nintendo, so I’d venture to say that we did have an advantage in getting dev kits earlier than other people. I’m not saying we got them earlier than everyone, but I do think we got them early.
“They came to us and asked us to make Red Steel. The thing is, once these dev kits show up in the building, you’ve got these other teams peeking around the curtain going, ‘Hey, what’s that?’ Before you know it, there’s three projects being developed for the Wii in that one room, and then another guy from another studio just happens to be visiting and brings back some ideas…”
