"Since Nintendo’s lackluster presence at E3 2013, the Wii U has been fighting an uphill battle to gain third-party support from game developers. Following last month’s big video game expo, Ubisoft decided to reduce its plans for Wii U titles.
Yves Guillemot, chairman and CEO of Ubisoft, told GamesIndustry International that his company’s exclusive ZombiU launch title failed to turn a profit – and thus won’t be getting a sequel."
Insider Gaming - "Ubisoft has cancelled yet another game, this time ending development on the Animal Crossing-inspired title Alterra."
HALIFAX (April 14, 2026) – Laid-off Ubisoft workers in Halifax have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a settlement with the video-game giant. The terms of the settlement, including the compensation employees will receive, is confidential.
I can't sit here and act like I know these workers financial situations. And I'm sure nobody wakes up WANTING to go to court. But for the sake of the industry, I wish some of these types of cases made it to trial.
Settlements allow companies to continue to do whatever abusive practices they do. While the trials (should the company lose) would actually force real changes for the better.
But again, I'm not in these workers shoes and I can understand them not wanting to risk it.
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
Ubisoft disappointed at Nintendo because zomniU didnt sell well on the wiiU?
i dont get it .
just admit that you fugged up with making of zombiU ubisoft
zombiU got average scores everywhere, and sadly game scores determine if gamers will buy a game or not .
rare exceptions though like Metroid Other M got average scores too but damn . now that was a mistake . .
you: No, the issue was not the game the reason it didn't sell to their expectations was because YOU guys just didn't go out and support it. Let's not try and spin it.
me: why would i support poorly executed game?
thats not how life works boi.
EA this EA that you? please . more quotes from the WORST COMPANY IN AMERICA 2 years in a row . .
How about someone other than my friend bullymangLer clicks "approve" so more people can get in on the discussion? Eh? C'monnnn ;)
I think rough waters are a head for Nintendo. Honestly I don't understand why they don't look at what the others offer(for online) and then improve on it and make it their own. Even if they didn't do it that way, I'm sure 3rd parties would have told them the direction they were taking and Nintendo should have done everything to ensure that they had a robust online service. Ubisoft would have told Nintendo about The Division and The Crew but Nintendo hasn't got everything up to the online standards that everyone else has yet. The same thing happened with the PS3, people wanted a robust online and the PS3 had to adapt or die. I really don't see how Nintendo couldn't learn from others mistakes and not just their own.
