Lucky gamers are about to get a major treat courtesy of French outfit Ubisoft. IGN is reporting that other than the exclusive Red Steel and Rayman Raving Rabbids, Ubisoft has revealed a wealth of other titles that are all due during the launch window of the Nintendo Wii!
President & Chief Operating Officer for Nintendo of America, Reggie-Fils Aime, stated:
In return, Laurent Detoc, President of Ubisoft North America, had this to say:
So the list of games is as follows:
- Far Cry,
- Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII,
- Monster 4x4 World Circuit,
- Open Season,
- GT Pro Series (an exclusive from MTO - the makers of the decent GT Advance 1-3 games on the GBA, as well as *ahem* Dogz and Catz on the same handheld),
- Red Steel (exclusive),
- Rayman Raving Rabbids.
And there is the promise of "many more titles in development" for Nintendo's upcoming Wii. IGN also has a very interesting interview about this news here:

noneFantastic news - really pleasing to see such strong support from Ubisoft. Perhaps we'll eventually see Beyond Good & Evil again.
With EA, Square Enix and Sega also firmly on-board, there's going to be no looking back when Wii launches

Does that mean Far Cry is going to be a launch game?
I've just realised...
Valve has noooo reason not to release Halflife 2 on the Wii!

god Far cry and Red steel and Call of duty 3 this console is really becoming a FPS console.
Ubisoft are defently one of my favorite developers.

So I'm guessing its going to be fairly shit? I don't know, I've only played the PC Farcry.
I don't understand ther hype for it anyway- take away the nice graphics and its a terrible game.

8364 503 03.05.2004 Mike@C3Score! The list I posted ages ago was mainly correct! Fab support from Ubisoft, only Prince Of Persia is missing from the retail list. 
EDIT: And even that has now apparently been confirmed...hopefully it's true...

419 34 15.06.2006 iddythe problem is that all of you are just going "whohoo farcry". ok so it looks like that one will sell the interview says something about farcry instincts evolution or something. so is that good or bad i dont know. we know rayman and redsteel are bound to be good games but the other i dont know. (based on 360 game)
blazing angels was average at best on the 360. it just did nothing for me. open season is a kids game based on animated film due for release. so were left with two driving games. monster 4x4,(an xbox game) ok i've seen all of two shots and these didn't enlarge on ign so i couldn't say if it was good or not. but it will be up against excite truck by nintendo. this is a problem. one will lose out.
gt pro series.(based on 360 game import tuner challange) i have gtadv and its good for a gba game but i'm not sure. has licenced cars though.
it seems as if ports are completely able for the wii. i'll buy the original games of redsteel and rayman.
