Oh Yes, Ubisoft Knew About Wii Motion Plus
Back when Wii Motion Plus was announced at E3, many developers seemed surprised. Nintendo likes to keep things close to its chest, and developers like Lucasarts were apparently kept in the dark. Not happy campers! Leave it to Ubisoft honcho Yves Guillemot to stride in and utter "We knew that". According to Guillemot: More »

Ubisoft Aiming For Nintendo Quality Next Year
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot appears to be a pretty straight shooter. Because after explaining to Next Generation that his company had between 400 and 500 people developing for the Wii, he boasted (or admitted, depending how you read it) that Ubisoft will be making "Nintendo-like quality" games by next year. Of course, in saying that he implies that Ubisoft's big November Wii release Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 is not of Nintendo caliber—for anyone who assumed the game was synonymous with Super Mario Galaxy. But at the same time, it's refreshing to hear third parties admitting imperfection and striving for quality on the platform (even if the justification is how much freakin' cash it will make them).
