Notion Games' Super Ubi Land is now Super Ubie Land as requested by Ubisoft.

Notion Games’ platforming title, Super Ubi Land has been renamed Super Ubie Land.

Notion Games made the decision to alter the Kickstarter funded title’s name after they received a request from Ubisoft to change it due its similarity to Ubisoft’s own name. According to Notion Games’ Twitter, the decision was met without animosity on either side, saying, “Ubisoft has been a great help!”

Super Ubie Land is slated for release on Wii U, PC, Mac, and Linux devices. A demo is currently available for the PC, Mac, and Linux versions. A release date has yet to be announced.

Based on title alone, i thought this would be a critical piece on how Ubisoft is the only active third party on Wii U right now...

Sounds like they were fine changing the name, and understood why Ubisoft asked them to change it (and that Ubisoft was nice about it, and not doing something like sending a cease & desist order).

I've never heard of the game before now, so maybe this piece of action helped them get free publicity. LOL
