Ubisoft: Wii successor is ‘fantastic’

Publisher Ubisoft has become one of the first prominent publishers to publicly express its excitement for Nintendo’s still mysterious new home console.

And while no specifics or tech info was divulged, Eurogamer reports that in a call to investors CEO Yves Guillemot says the HD work done for machine such as Xbox 360 and PS3 could easily be utilised for the new hardware.

"The platform Nintendo is coming with is really a fantastic platform," he stated. "We think it will be extremely successful.

"What we see is that we will be able to leverage a lot of the work we do for Xbox 360 and PS3 while we create games for the platform.

"So we will not have to redo completely the games that we create. We’ll be able to use all the capacity the console is giving but also use all the work we do for the other platforms."
