Ubisoft no doubt has high expectations for Watch_Dogs, the publisher’s next major franchise.
Speaking during a financial call today, one Ubisoft director said that the company believes the game can surpass Assassin’s Creed, which sold 6.2 million units.
Here’s the quote in full:
“What is true is that three months ago when we announced our results, we were kind of referencing that we, in our plan, we had built up Watch Dogs with expectation slightly below what Assassin’s Creed 1 did when it was first released–and it was 6.2 million. So after E3, what we said today was that we do feel that we can expect…slightly above the 6.2 million that Assassin’s Creed did.”
Capcom has a whole bunch of Mega Man games lined up for the 3DS Virtual Console. Mega Man 2, 3, 4 and 5 for Game Boy as well as Mega Man Xtreme 1 and 2 for Game Boy Color are on the way to the 3DS eShop. Dates haven’t been confirmed at this time, but fans of the series can rest easy knowing that a lot of classic goodness is on the way to Nintendo’s portable.
