The more I hear about Red Steel, the more I want the game to succeed.
For starters, Ubi took a gamble when they jumped in with both feet on the Wii: Red Steel is a fully budgeted development project and no doubt is taking up monetary resources which they could have put toward a much safer 360 FPS or Splinter Cell title.
Second, Ubi is noted as being the ONLY 3rd party who has jumped onto the Wii wagon with a brand new untested franchise.
Third, if RS does well, it would remove that stigma behind 3rd party games on Nintendo consoles and the belief that only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo consoles.
Any way you slice it, Ubi was willing to bank a lot on Nintendo's success, something most other 3rd parties were hesitant to do or still haven't done.
Simply put, every bit of success that Ubi experiences will be one more slap in the face to all of the 3rd parties who dismissed Nintendo and their new ideas.
It's a strange way of looking at it, but I guess you might say that Ubi and I bet on the same horse.
