Square Enix and Ubisoft join forces for Japanese releases |
Ó
It's not the first time for Square Enix and Ubisoft when it comes to
publishing partnerships. This year though, the two buddies will grow
even closer as Squeenix distributes Ubisoft titles into the Japanese
market. According to the latest issue of Famitsu, Yoichi Wada made the
announcement and the first games of this partnership will start coming
on April.According to Wada, Squeenix will not only work with Ubisoft to bring Western games to Japan, but also in other yet-to-be-revelead ways. A Squeenix-Ubisoft game perhaps? It's not clear if the Japan releases will have both of the publishers' names on the cover, but Wada suggests that Square Enix will be playing a big role in the localization and marketing of the games.
It can't be denied that the Japanese gaming market has a great disparity from Western shores. It is one of Square Enix's hopes that Japanese gamers be better acquainted with Western titles, which is exactly what they're pushing for right now. With 950 special shops thoughout Japan, they've got the machinery to do just that.
What the Japanese can expect from Ubisoft:
- Bateman: games don't make you cry, stories do
- Ubisoft CFO projects Prince of Persia sales, Far Cry 2 performance; talks acquisitions and ratings
- You asked, he answered; Prince of Persia - the graphics, the upgrades, the new features

square with ubisoft is a great combo game, yay. remember ubisoft made assassin creed, while Final Fhantasy has great charather details with a nice gameplay.
the only thing that would be great is if Jupiter and square enix where to make a sequal to the world ends with you.
comes Final Creed? Or how about Assasin's Fantasy? lol that sounds dirty...
I actually laughed out loud @ Assassin's Fantasy.. It sounds WRONG hahaha
It's easy to understand. I mean, ubisoft games will have the big name "square-enix" written on the box in japan, this will sell WAY MORE ubisoft games like prince of persia (the new one) that could make it's way easily in japan if it was released by a S-E, and S-E will do the ads I suppose, and they know japanese well for gaming ads.
For the reverse it's not as good I'd say. I don't see where squeenix is gaining big things. Maybe that having ubisoft as a marketing manager could be good for them, hard to say... well surely. But maybe ubisoft will help them target the western audience better.
Anyway, a cool move.
PS: I live just next ubisoft montréal.
All I'm saying is that if I hear ANYTHING about a turnbased RB6, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell or End War, I'm gonna be PISSED!!! LOL
Good one! How about a Squeenix vs. Ubisoft game. haha pure versus awesome goodness. xD
what would be the character line up for a Squeenix vs. Ubisoft game? Bomberman Vs. Cloud? o_O
