UBISOFT EXPANDS SUPPORT FOR NINTENDO’S Wii WITH SEVEN TITLES AVAILABLE AT LAUNCH
More Video Game Titles for the Revolutionary New Console on the Way in 2007
Paris, FRANCE – August 3rd, 2006 – Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced that it is preparing seven titles for the upcoming launch of Nintendo’s highly anticipated Wii™. In addition to previously announced titles Rayman Raving Rabbids™ and Red Steel™, both designed specifically for the Wii, Ubisoft will deliver Wii versions of driving game Monster 4X4 World Circuit, Sony Pictures Animation’s Open Season™, a game based on the popular Far Cry® franchise, Blazing Angels™ Squadrons of WW II and GT Pro Series, developed exclusively for the Wii by MTO. Ltd. With seven announced titles available at launch and with many more titles currently in development, Ubisoft expects to provide the richest third-party lineup for the Wii’s introduction and beyond with an exciting combination of new intellectual properties and established franchises.
“We’re thrilled that Ubisoft will be unveiling Wii versions of both exclusive new IP and established franchises," said Reggie Fils-Aime, president and chief operating officer for Nintendo of America. “Bursting with creativity, innovation and unadulterated fun, these Ubisoft games embody the qualities that will make Wii a huge hit with gamers new and established, young and old."
“Media and analysts agree that Ubisoft has the greatest potential for reward with the new console’s launch because we believed in its potential from the beginning," said Laurent Detoc, president of Ubisoft North America. “With an impressive lineup of launch games that offer something for everyone, we are in a unique position to benefit from the Wii’s success in appealing to both new and hardcore gamers."

Red Steel™: This Wii exclusive title takes place in modern-day Japan and challenges players to master both the ancient art of the katana and the sophisticated technology of modern firearms. First-person action, rating pending.
Most of the games on the list do not interest me, but these are the type of games that will turn some non N-fan's heads. The way things are going, it seems pretty much impossible for the Wii to come in 3rd this gen.
