After releasing some of the worst and least impressive titles the Wii has, Ubisoft finally admits that the software they have released is mostly low quality and they promise improvements. After an unimpressive Red Steel release(although it sold well regardless) and a number of poor ports of old titles such as the unsuccessful GT Pro Series and Monster Truck 4x4, Ubisoft received the most criticism from the terrible port of the critically acclaimed PC/XBox title Far Cry with Far Cry Vengance.

With their only critically accepted title being Rayman Raving Rabbids, they promise that their upcoming titles will not be rushed or of such poor quality. With the Red Steel sequel, titled Fighting Steel, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 and Brothers in Arms: Double Time coming up, among others, they seem to have a promising line-up that hopefully won't be nearly as rushed this time around.

Publisher Ubisoft was one of the first third parties to recognize the potential of Nintendo's Wii console and back the platform with a wealth of titles. The company's headlining launch games, Red Steel and Rayman Raving Rabbids, were both exclusively created for Wii and have in the six months since they released each become million-sellers around the world. However, many of the developer's other efforts - all of them quick and unimpressive ports of previously released games on other systems - have faired poorly both from a critical and retail perspective. In an interview with leading German news magazine Spiegel, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot and European head Alain Corre admitted that the publisher was too quick to rush these titles to the market.

"We made mistakes," they told the magazine. According to Spiegel, Ubisoft wanted to be first to capitalize on Wii and in its haste to release product it sacrificed the quality of the titles. Ubisoft has reportedly learned from its mistakes, though, and is promising that the quality of its forthcoming Wii projects will be significantly better.
