Ubisoft has managed to make the most of the launch of many of the last few major hardware releases, and they plan to do so again with the 3DS with eight different titles in the launch period. While this includes Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars and Splinter Cell 3D, Ubisoft brand manager Jan Sanghera thinks titles like Rabbids: Travel in Time 3D and Rayman 3D will have a great effect long term.
Given the innovation that s inside a 3DS and what it has to offer, it s difficult to imagine a scenario where the 3DS isn t bigger than the original, said Ubisoft brand manager Jan Sanghera. We re expecting the 3DS to have a broad consumer appeal from launch and, as such, have ensured we offer a variety of titles. We ve historically been a leader in games developed for new Nintendo platforms, and with eight games available during launch and more to come, we hope to maintain this position.
Nintendo is offering more than just something that appeals to the core gamer, she said. 3D itself will be a massive draw, but also with its connected digital features that allow not just social gaming gaming experiences, but also the ability to download and consume much more. We d expect 3DS to compete strongly in the broader handheld category, offering a wide range of good reasons for consumers to purchase it. All of which is brilliant news for third party publishers.
