Rumor: Ubisoft Vancouver was working on MotionSports Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Last month, Ubisoft closed its Vancouver subsidiary. This was the studio behind the likes of Academy of Champions for Wii.
Before Ubisoft Vancouver shut down, they may have been working on MotionSports Wii U as a launch title for the console. The project was likely cancelled as the studio is now defunct.
Superannuation tweeted earlier today:
“Also, it sounds like Ubisoft Vancouver was working on a MotionSports WiiU launch title—now presumably dead—at the time of their closure.”
The story behind Solatorobo’s publishing situation
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
In addition to being the first game in the “Little Tail Bronx” series, Tail Concerto was also CyberConnect2’s first project. The title didn’t sell particularly well, and I’m sure Mamoru-kun met a similar fate.
Due to Tail Concerto’s poor sales, Namco Bandai wasn’t too interested in CyberConnect 2’s pitch for Solatorobo: Red the Hunter.
You might be wondering how the studio persuaded Namco Bandai into publishing the game given this fact.
Director Takayuki Isobe provided an explanation in an interview with Gamasutra:
“To overcome the weak points with Tail Concerto, we created massive amounts of assets, generating multiple concept documents, each time refining the world and settings to create a game with a very deep story and a detailed world view that even a mature audience could enjoy, and eventually were able to get the green light from our client.”
