Wii U games have barely made a dent in Ubisoft’s total sales for the past few months. Across April, May, and June, the console contributed to just 3% of the publisher’s sales.
Despite this, Ubisoft still has a lot of content coming to Wii U. Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, and Watch_Dogs will all be available for the console before year’s end.
European Devil Survivor 2 pre-orders open next week, eShop Devil Survivor Overclocked release likely
European Devil Survivor 2 pre-orders will open next week, publisher Ghostlight has confirmed. Pricing will be set at £24.99 / €29.99.
Ghostlight will publish the game in Europe if an internal pre-order target is met. Those who reserve Devil Survivor 2 will be included in the manual, and there will be a special pre-order pack containing Devil Survivor 2 together with a heavily discounted copy of Devil Survivor: Overclocked.
Ghostlight also has an update on a digital version of Devil Survivor Overclocked. The company says that the “wheels are turning and it looks very much like the game will be coming to the eShop in the near future.” More details will be shared “in the next couple of weeks.”
Super Ubie Land players will find a crossover with Two Brothers, an upcoming indie game from AckkStudios that we’ve covered here previously.
Roy Guarder from Two Brothers will ask Ubie to collect secret “Jewels” that allows the character to turn into different colors. Four of them can be found throughout Climate Island.
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.
