Notion Games is bringing Super Ubi Land to the Wii U eShop in the near future, with the help of Maestro Interactive Games.
However, though it will eventually find itself in the eShop, it's likely it won't be going by the name Super Ubi Land as it seems Ubisoft has taken issue with it.
Notion Games revealed there will be a name change via the following tweet:
331377617343229953
The developer went on to say:
Ubisoft is not doing anything wrong. They're protecting their business just like any small business would. They don't want Notion infringing on their brand. They're being fair.
Super Ubi Land - as it is currently known - is a fun-looking platformer that takes a lot of influence from titles such as Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World. Notion Games recently said it would like to bring the title to the 3DS eShop too, though we've had no concrete news on it just yet.

I was actually confused thinking Ubisoft was involved some how. Now it is clear
I already had the feeling this would happen.
For a second I thought that Ubisoft got publishing rights yet again, like they did with Cloudberry Kingdom.
Saw this coming back when it was first announced.
Ubi means potato around here anyway.
"Super Dubi Land"
There. Fixed name.
honestly, i thought it was a platformer made by ubisoft when i first heard of this game...
Yeah I knew this would happen. Every time I heard the name I instantly thought of Ubisoft & had to correct myself each time It wasn't that appealing of a name imo anyway.
Yeah, I had assumed it was an Ubisoft project when it first appeared.
Super Notubisoft Land
Agreed with those who said it was confusing. Sometimes, brand-name concerns like this are unfounded...but not this time. This one really does need changing.
Makes sense.
@Melkaticox At first, I that you suggested 'Super Dubai Land', which gave me very odd mental images.
While I'm all for the name change, Ubisoft is NOT "just like any small business." Otherwise, carry on, universe.
Well I think its fair for Ubisoft to ask for just a name change. I hope they rename it to something better and not worse.
Yeah... normally I'd say something like this is ridiculous, but it makes sense on this.
Very well justified, I thought it was being published by ubisoft back when announced and still got confused when I heard it.
Super Noti Land
Been wondering about this ever since i heard about the game. Makes sense really tho.
Super-Creepy-Green-Smiling-Thing-With-Teeth-Land.
How ridiculous...
Not surprised, I actually thought this was a Ubisoft game when I first heard of it..
Makes sense. Like many others, I too thought Ubisoft was involved with this game when I first heard if it.
Just call it the 6 Ubien Coins and call it a day.
I don't mind the name change. I just hope it comes to Wii U
At least it seemed to be a courteous agreement between them even if it was rather forced. I wonder what name they will come up with now.
I think it makes sense. When I first heard of it I did think Ubisoft was involved in some way and then thought, "Oh dear, I hope they don't get in trouble for that!" Seems they didn't, just a polite request which they heeded. Everybody seems to be handling this like adults.
mailbox adventures.
I thought this game was FROM Ubisoft.
LOL I think this is a good move. Change the name to something better.
@DefHalan Ditto. Many would have naturally assumed Ubisoft is involved in some way. I wonder what Ubi means - aside from potato.
@ErnisDy Well, there's Nintendo Land and EA Playground.
eventually it will be like that episode of futurama where they are trying to name something new and only have 2 words to choose from that won't infringe on copyright
Wow. I didn't even think of Ubisoft when I first heard of Super Ubi Land,
I heard Ubisoft suggested to change the title into Super Delay Land! Or Super Every Year a new Assasin's Creed Land!!
Super Potato Land.
