The delayed version of Watch Dogs is the only upcoming Ubisoft game on a Nintendo platform we know about.

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.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot spoke last year about how the company was planning to still support the Wii U during the 2013 holiday season and would review their commitment to Nintendo's console after that.
Currently, the only upcoming game from Ubisoft for a Nintendo platform is the delayed release of Watch Dogs, which is expected, at best, this fall, months after the May 27 of Watch Dogs on other systems.
At E3 2011, Ubisoft teamed up with Nintendo for a special developer discussion focusing on Ubisoft's upcoming slate of Wii U titles, including Killer Freaks from Outer Space (which later became ZombiU) and the never-released Ghost Recon Online. The following E3, Ubisoft's press conference was one of the first public demonstrations of the near-final Wii U with demos of Rayman Legends, ZombiU, and Just Dance.
Harsh. I can't help* but think sales of Rayman hurt this situation.
Fun fact: this was in response to whether or not we should book an appointment for E3 with Ubisoft. So unless they want to show Nintendo games and not have them covered by a Nintendo outlet, this is factual. No conspiracy; no misdirection.After those MK Reviews they may be doubting this sites Faith. :P
It's funny. Everyone says people who own Wii U's only buy Nintendo games. Looking at my shelf, my mix of games are 1/2 Nintendo, 1/2 3rd party. I guess I'm the exception, not the rule.
Ubi isn't my favorite 3rd party, but Zombi U was an interesting take on the survival genre, and Rayman Legends was great. I hate how the Wii U is dying on the vine, because in spite of my problems with it, I really do like the system.
can't imagine Sony or MS surviving out of their own games with little or no 3rd party support.
Its moreso sony can hide the embers brewing in their gaming division with the wildfires that have engulfed everything else they do.can't imagine Sony or MS surviving out of their own games with little or no 3rd party support.
This. Folks wonder why Nintendo doesn't hand out moneybags for third parties - they don't have to (and when they do, they end up in messes like they are in now). Sony and Microsoft would tank without third party support (in fact, the gaming divisions in both companies are floundering right now - the mainstream gaming media just doesn't pick up on that since they can hide it better via their other divisions). Nintendo can and has survived on little-to-no third party support (GameCube, N64).
Guys, it's because Nintendo is going to be rounding up ALL the remaining 3rd party support and housing it in their Nintendo booth at E3. Nintendo wanted to make the biggest impact possible by housing everything you can do on a Nintendo system in the Nintendo booth.
It's a bold move, but Nintendo can pull it off. Best E3 Yet. guaranteed. [/blindfaith/shininglightatendoftunnel]
