Ubisoft blazes third party trail for Nintendo

So, uh, remember when people were talking about Nintendo and that whole hate they supposedly had on for anyone unfortunate enough to be not-them? Yeah ... someone forgot to ship that memo over to Ubisoft, because not only are they planning to develop a veritable slew of games for the innovative console, they've promised seven just for the launch window:

• Red Steel

• Rayman Raving Rabbids

• Far Cry

• Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII

• GT Pro Series

• Open Season

• Monster 4x4 World Circuiit

And it's not just games they're working on. In an interview with IGN, Ubisoft's North American president, Laurent Detoc, dropped a bomb on their new racing game. "We're working," he said, "to include an accessory in GT Pro Series that will make this game a must have." Well, since you put it so nicely, we already want it.

After all this, Ubisoft is so glued to the Wii that we feel a particular spiritual brotherhood with them and extend the hand of fanboy love. Welcome to the club, folks. Over here, life is sweet. Viva la revolution Wii!
