Ubisoft Pledges to Continue Supporting Nintendo Switch

4.7
During Ubisoft’s quarterly investor conference call, Chief Executive Officer Yves Guillemot and Chief Financial Officer Alain Martinez talked about the publisher’s outlook on the Nintendo Switch.

Martinez mentioned during the prepared remarks that Ubisoft is “very pleased” by the performance of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which was the best-selling third-party game on the Switch in 2017, also adding that the success of its release in Japan confirms this trend. Thanks to the Switch’s “strong momentum” the game should benefit from long-lasting sales, and Ubisoft is the “clear third-party leader” on Switch, and they intend to continue to build on the “great ten-year-plus relationship with Nintendo.”

Later in the Q&A Guillemot confirmed that the relationship with Nintendo “continues to grow,” and the publisher is “very happy” with what was achieved with Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and Just Dance was also a big seller on the Switch. He added that in the future they’re “going to do more things,” but can’t provide further details for now.

Recently, we learned that Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle sold 114,059 copies in Japan, after debuting in first place, and staying in the top-five for a few weeks.

Famous They give it 3 years, new system out time to abandon it.


That is typically what happens when a new gen launches. You didn't see them supporting the 360 to often after the One released.

OT: After Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (great game btw) I cannot wait to see what else they are planning.

I hope this is the case. I plan on grabbing a switch very soon, and if they continue to put as much effort into it as they have, I see it doing extremely well in the future.

Definitely don't seem them doing that this time around. The Switch was a pretty good console for them and so far is doing great.

Hope to see some games published by Ubisoft to come out on the Switch in the future. Glad to see they're going to support them for the years to come.
