Ubisoft North America President Laurent Detoc revealed that his company currently has seven titles in development for Nintendo's upcoming Wii platform.
...
On the same panel, Midway President David Zucker stated that his company has six titles in development for the Wii.
According to this {official?) pdf from May 2006 partially listing Wii games in development, Ubisoft had 3 known projects at that time: Red Steel, Open Season, and Rayman. Midway, according to that list, had only commited to Happy Feet and The Ant Bully by that time.

Here's hoping there's a Myst on the way!

QuoteNow if only they could do something with everything else in that screen shot. At least take the blur off of everything else and add an actual texture.

Now with the Wii version announced, is it me or do the character models look almost like "claymation"?

Speaking of claymation though, there should be a new version of Clay Fighter just for the Wii, I forget who made the game, and it wasn't all that great, but it was somewhat entertaining and looked good visually for the time.

Ubisoft's Seven Wii Launch Titles
It has another five - yes, five games planned for Wii, and they'll all arrive in time for the platform's launch window.
Ubisoft today announced that it is in development with versions of [n]Far Cry, Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII, Monster 4x4 World Circuit and Open Season for Wii[/n]. In addition, the studio is bringing an [n]all-new racer called GT Pro Series to the system.
The publisher also said that it has "many more titles in development" for Wii.
"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,"
The popular first-person shooter Far Cry pits players on a mission through lush Amazonian jungles and equips them with a variety of weapons, vehicles and special powers to attack the enemy. The game will make full use of the Wii-mote for enhanced maneuverability and will likewise boast new content.
Blazing Angels utilizes the Wii controller for intense dog fighting scenarios set to the backdrop of WWII.
The racer GT Pro Series is developed by MTO and optimized by Ubisoft for Wii. Through a deal with MTO, Ubisoft is able to distribute the project everywhere in the world except Japan. GT features more than 80 licensed cars, detailed tuning options, fluid drift-style controls and physics, and more. The title has been specifically tailored to make full use of the Wii's revolutionary remote.
In addition, IGN has posted new screens of Red Steel and Rayman Raving Rabbids, as well as first screens of Monster 4x4: World Circuit in our their related media sections.
With seven official launch window titles from Ubisoft, the ever-expanding library of holiday Wii games is nearing 30 titles, and there are still more to come.
Well there you have it Ubisoft has 7+++ titles coming to Wii but only 7 of them will make the launch window. If other Developers are this exstatic with the Wii then I don't think we will be seeing a drought this time around like we saw with N64, PS2, GC & NDS.
edit: Ubisoft just became my favorite 3rd party developer, I predict good things for them in the future

Ok, THAT I didn't see coming.
I expected many games from Ubi, just not THAT soon...

I would also bet on a Prince of Persia game in the works too along with Splinter Cell & Assassins Creed.

QuoteFar Cry isn't a port, thats good news.
First, Far Cry Wii will include elements from Far Cry Insticts Evolution, in addition to a fresh storyline, new maps, characters and equipment. Second and even more importantly, Far Cry has strong diversity of gameplay so the game is a natural fit for the Wii remote.

GT Pro Series is inspired by a Japanese game that was never released here and Ubisoft is optimizing for the Wii. It will have more than 80 licensed cars, tons of tuning options and its fluid drift-style controls and physics. Talk about how the Wii changes the way you play games, we're working to include an accessory in GT Pro Series that will make this game a must have. Stay tuned, literally.
An accessory for GT Pro? A steering wheel attachment maybe?

Mario brought up (jokingly) the possibility of a radio tuner...

Prince of Persia Wii has just been confirmed as a March 07 release.
This is absolutely insane.

Open Season™, les hits Far Cry® et Blazing Angels® ainsi que de GT Pro Series développé exclusivement pour la Wii par MTO. Ltd. Prince of Persia® sortira quant à lui sur la Wii en mars 2007 et de nombreux jeux sont par ailleurs développement pour la nouvelle console.
Avec sept titres disponibles cette année, combinant nouvelles franchises et marques confirmées, Ubisoft ambitionne de proposer le plus riche line-up « third party » dès le lancement de la Wii.
I wonder if that little bit of info wasn't supposed to get out yet. And isn't the PoP trilogy completed already?

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

P.S. Am I a Nintendo Fanboy? Hell yeah! Heck, I post poetry to thank third parties for their development support! What's more fanboyish than that?
