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.

2019 The switch is a cool device tbh. But not many people like it. It's like a psp. But updated.


The PSP wasn't my fav thing in the world to play on, but it did have its upsides.


The differences are very different. Imagine comparing an PS to an Xbox. So many more customisation from PSP to NDS - but it's stull awesome af.

I love the look of it, I agree it's kind of like a PSP. But, it does have a Nintendo feel (as it's supposed to) I always wanted one..


It really is.. I loved the PSP, I am about to go out and buy a switch now. I have heard so much good things about it. I hope I am not wasting my money. Again good to see ubisoft support something good again!

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


Agree, like potion said, they didnt push games out for the 360 or Playstation 3 when the next generation consoles came out. Ubisoft will probably stop pledging after a newer console or switch is irrelevant.
