Ubisoft Has Halted Development Of Steep On Nintendo Switch

Erm... Because it is finished and ready for release?

anyone actually surprissed?

"We stopped work on the Switch version...and we will have more exciting news to share soon."

Great, what could that be? Child of Light was a prank? I'm not sure they know what exciting news means lol.

Not suprised, and also not bothered

Another Vaporware...
But, who care about Steep if we can do Snowboard / Skiing from Go Vacation ?

Edit:
"we will have more exciting news to share soon."
Imagine series / Petz series will be on Nintendo Switch ??

@Anti-Matter That's the spirit!

And so it begins.

I also notice how DQXI is suddenly "Going well" after months of troubles and "Development issues and lots of work" the moment Octopath sells.

Funny that.

This must be crushing news for the 2 people who cared.

Shame, as I thought the game looked quite interesting when I saw it at E3 2016. But then shortly thereafter we learned that snowboarding and gliding down snowy mountaintops was only a fraction of what you could do in Breath of the Wild. I still would have kept this game on my radar if it made its way to Switch, though.

Not surprised in the slightest, expect western 3rd party support to either not be announced for Switch or be cancelled if announced and you won't be disappointed when it happens.

Anybody mad bro?

@EightBitMan Why are you here? If you believe a company is irrelevant, why do you frequent a site that has its name in the URL?

Go play something you enjoy for crying out loud.

@EightBitMan
Nintendo is most certainly not "irrelevant."

@onex agreed but doubt he will stop. Use the ignore button, trust me makes the site much more pleasant to browse

@EightBitMan Switch is getting plenty of support. And I bet it get's even more next year. It's too hot for that parker mate, it's giving you tunnel vision.

Why halted steep? Maybe, Because making another Assassin Creed on Nintendo Switch.

@nolil No they said, they are focusing on the actual Steep, not the pretend one lol.

''We’ll have more exciting news to share soon'' i wonder what he meant by that.

@Leanne I'm pretty sure he just attempted using that opportunity to spin a disappointing tweet for one group of people into hype(?) for another.

@redd214 You're probably right.

Ubisoft release AVATAR 2 GAME and Just Dance 2019 is pretty tired to make game platform for Nintendo Switch.

Someone make an intro between Ubisoft and Panic Button.

Not surprised at all here.

Ubisoft giveth and taketh away.

Steep developer game a lot wasted work hour ago for Nintendo Switch platform can we make ongoing deploy release steep as possible. Some Employee nothing problem SDLC. Software Developer Life Cycle.

At least they confimed it. So I ‘m out Ubi! I held off buying in hopes of a switch version and I’ve lost interest otherwise at this point. So no switch no buy.

I do need a snowboard game this gen though... here is hoping for a mario and sonic or a 1080.

Your turn, Mighty No. 9

Ah the old game isn't coming to a Nintendo system, don't care, rubbish game, nobody wanted it blah blah nonsense.
Some people here never fail to keep me entertained.

Completely forgot this was coming to the switch really don’t care either

Darn it. Was looking forward to an x-games type game.

Disappointing but we all knew this was cancelled months ago

Steep challenge to start with and went downhill from there.

Oh, the puns just write themselves....

Wishful thinking here: Ubisoft cancelled Steep because their close relationship with Nintendo tipped them off that 1080 is in the works for Switch.

TFW when third party developers categorize cancelling a Switch game as "exciting news".

To be honest, it's for the best. I have this game on PC and it is a dead community. I haven't come across more than 2 players on a run in months.

Told ya'll. I remember how some people were getting all pissed off and offended at me when I said this game was most likely vaporware. Now that it has been cancelled, it sounds like I was right.

Ubisoft is like the European version of EA. Luckily I stopped buying their stupid games years ago.

PS4 was 21% of Ubisoft sales at year #2. At 5% after an "exclusive" we lucky to get old budget priced rehash

They can cancel StarLink also, just focus on KB2 and Child of Light 2

@GrailUK "We're thrilled to announced that, just like with Steep, we are stopping production on Switch entirely! We believe that this offers our fans the greatest number of options. We would like to invite fans to keep playing anywhere, anytime inside the living room. This was all made possible because of our excellent relationship with Nintendo, one that rivals the previously unprecedented relationship they have with EA."

@EightBitMan it’s the best console I’ve ever owned and I’ve been buying since the 80s.

Not sure what is failed about it?

Thought it was funny how they said "more" exciting news. As though this is exciting.
@sanderev Ubisoft gave us Rayman Legends and Mario + Rabbids on Switch, I hardly see them as another EA. And it's not like they're gonna stop supporting the Switch, it's just this game. It's a shame, but it's not the end of the world, the Switch, or Ubisoft support.

@electrolite77 ssx 3 is greatest of all time.

Steep isn’t good.

Ubisoft can keep it

@FlimFlam OMG THAT'S AMAZING NEW- wait...

@TrendanBrendan Ubisoft only releases "easy money" games to the Switch. Games that will sell a lot and are really simple to make and / or port.

Like: Just Dance, Starlink or ports of old games. The Mario & Rabbids game was made with Nintendo money.

EA does exactly the same, and since they only have an engine for Fifa (which they took from the old PS3 version), they aren't releasing any other games on the Switch.

The reason WHY Steep isn't ported to the Switch is simply because it would take a lot of effort (like Panic Button puts into their ports) for the game to run decent on the Switch. And this kind of effort costs a lot more money than porting a game that's 5+ years old. And Starlink, yeah, the Star Fox integration is there to - again - get some additional cash from Nintendo to spend on the development.

@EightBitMan
I’m gonna click the ignore button now so u cease to exist. Poof.

@redd214 That worked really well. Thanks for the heads-up on the Ignore button. Take care.

Nintendo has let a lot of gamers down by abandoning 1080°and Waverace. Steep would have filled part of that gap.

Who didn’t see this coming a mile off? The game barely runs properly on PS4 and Xbox and has so many graphical intricacies. Also, it’s designed to be online 24/7.

If you want it, it’s £6 on Xbox.

@IPrino Youre very welcome!

Looked crap anyway

@AlternateButtons @EightBitMan must be a Trump supporter so they're used to blatantly ignoring facts and believing whatever narrative fits their own personal worldview.

@Leanne Good news for PS4 owners, is probably what they meant to say.

@Stocksy Yeah honestly I was really disappointed with Steep when I got it for my Xbox One way back when it released. I was expecting a deep snowboarding/skiing experience and instead I got one of the weakest snowboarding/skiing games I ever played. The damage mechanic seemed to ruin it and the mountain ranges just felt very empty. It was like they put no effort into the open world to make any parts of the mountains feel distinctive or memorable or particularly fun. They also went for a jack of all trades sort of thing with the wingsuit and paragliding stuff, which was kinda fun at first but it wasn't why I bought the game. Honestly, if it was a more focused skiing/snowboarding game it would have been a lot better.

@EightBitMan
I don't think the problem is that the hardware is inferior. I mean, it is, compared to PS4 and XB1, but while it is the least powerful current-gen home platform, it is, at the same time, the most powerful portable game platform.

I think that the problem is more related to Nintendo having cornered itself into a family-friendly type of market share since the Wii days, an image that it has a lot of troubles to get rid of. I mean, when companies like 2K Games think people are excited for games like "Carnival Games", the problem is CLEARLY not one of hardware specs, but of perception. Companies are still seeing the Switch as "the new product from those guys who made the Wii".

I''m not surprised that Steep got cancelled. I wanted to get it, thought it would be a nice game (not a stellar one, granted, but fun nonetheless), but it seems that Ubisoft still think that the Switch is only good for Rayman and smaller productions. Like what most other big publishers (EA, Activision, to name two) seem to think as well.

What the Switch needs, is a AAA production rated MA, that sells MILLIONS, to make companies notice. I can guarantee you that if Rockstar create a GTA collection of some sort, and that it sells by the truckload (which it would), then big companies will start noticing and MAYBE, you'll see a change of attitude.

But right now, I'm not seeing that happening.

@AlternateButtons No...

@EightBitMan I think you make a mistake on a lot of fronts. What do you mean nu inferior? Your post is only an example of an subjective description. Yes, sony and microsoft make systems that are more powerful than the systems of nintendo, but does that make them superior? I don't think so. The nintendo switch sales numbers are great and yes, i dislike LABO too, but that doesn't mean there is no audience for it. I get the feeling you act like a fanboy. "Third party support is essential". To which i must ask; "for what?" Maybe the majority of the nintendo consumers mostly play first party games like mario and zelda, which aren't availablr to other platforms. That could be one reason to go for nintendl instead of sony or microsoft. I personally like to be able ro bring my systems with me wherever i go. That could be another wish fulfilled by nintendo and not accessible by sony or microsoft consumers. Don't get me wrong, i'm not into anything playstation or xbox, but that doesn't mean those systems are inferior or even bad. You should think twice before saying something stupid like that because you're embarrassing yourself. Let people like whatever they like, and stop arguing about it.

@AlternateButtons If that's what you need to tell yourself in order to sleep at night...

I don't give a f about Steep, but this statement pisses me off! It's basically the same as with Dragon Quest for example: "Hey SE, when will you show DQ for Switch?"
"Switch?! No no no, first we need to release it in the west, but (basically) only for PS4. And then, if we have some spare time left, we can continue tonwork on the Switch version, so you can get it around 2020-2022."
🙄

@EightBitMan I'm wondering what troll company payroll are you on? Do you mind telling me? Help NintendoLife block such useless statements such as yours.

Surprise!!! I guess they hate money?

@EightBitMan maybe you should go play somewhere else.

@EightBitMan
Nintendo fanboys maybe killing the switch but people like you are a cancer to gaming.

@electrolite77

Maybe you're right. Maybe Nintendo itself doesn't want to get rid of that image. But I still feel that it's a mistake. It wouldn't be if the Switch was a pure home-based system, but it being a portable as well, and pretty much the only one seriously considered for gamers right now (3DS is on its last legs and Vita is dead since awhile), it can't survive on its usual exclusives alone. Well, it can, but there comes a point where people want to play other AAA productions, and the fact is that launhing one every 4 to 6 months isn't going to cut it for many. Some indies are great too (and thank god for them otherwise the system would be a wasteland), but you can't live on these alone (ask the Vita about it).

And with the ton of shovelware about to hit the platform in the future, I'm truly wondering where the Switch is heading... really...

Oh well glad i own more then one system. Though i did have steep on sonys system i traded that crap in about 3 weeks after launch with no regrets.

@bchagan funny because I'd say the same thing about the nutjob liberals feeding at the trough of blatant lies from CNN. But hey opinions right?..

I fail to see what anything political has to do with this news. You'd think that some people in this day and age would have better sense to adhere to the subject matter at hand versus turning a comment section into a political mudslinging trollfest.

Oh wait, I forgot this is the internet. 🙄

@EightBitMan You do realize that you are just on the opposite extreme end of the spectrum? a blind hater. Doesn't make you any better

@Tyranexx I love the ignore feature

Back on topic, I didn’t even think Steep was still a thing. I’d be interested in a 1080, but I really just want a new Snowboard Kids.

@EightBitMan

The only utter nonsense was your post. You are trying way too hard. It is all a bit sad.

Ubichiotte ......

Good riddance. I've heard the game is crap anyway. How about a new 1080 from the big N?

@EightBitMan So you are a anti-nintendo fanboy huh? Sony?

@Stocksy + 1 on it being the best system I’ve owned since the 80s. It appears some ppl are missing the meta-point here - Nintendo didn’t only get their mojo back, they captured lightening in a bottle AGAIN (the Wii was original and fun, I heard Nintendo sold a few of them...)

I don’t care about shovelware. Don’t buy it then, solved! I don’t care that all games are not cross platform. My backlog like many others here is already too long!

Nintendo delivered a game changer with the Switch. Anyone who plays in handheld mode and says the form and function sucks is literally in denial. And anyone that says Nintendo needs more support...why? Are there not enough games to play of different varieties?Do you only play sports titles and if so why buy a Switch? I never rant like this but holy **** the ******* holy grail of video game systems could descend from the sky and some ppl would still find a reason to complain!

As i understand it, Ubisoft has more than enough stuff coming to the Switch... A 2016 port of a poor quality game isn't a big loss. In fact it isn't even a loss.

As for support...

Dragon ball FightersZ
Monster Hunter GU (dunno how i feel about this but its there)
Okami HD
Octopath Traveller
Dark Souls remastered
Ubisoft also announced two other games for the switch yesterday to drop THIS YEAR and they look like JRPGS.

I'd be very worried and annoyed if it was Dark Souls remastered.

But its an unknown unsuccessful IP from a developer that already has a strong showing on the Switch.

Their exclusive has sold gangbusters, they just yesterday announced two new games for the switch and the game they ditched is burning on PS4 and XBOX.

People need to chill.

@EightBitMan I honestly think you are on the wrong website fella. You strike me more as a man who prefers sex and travel. So in the politest possible way...go forth and procreate.

@Ryu_Niiyama You're not missing much. It's a really good quality snowboard game wrapped with some really weird designs (open world is such a poor choice. You can only go in one direction: Down. The rest is fast traveling. You know, like most Ubi games.

TBH I liked it, I liked messing with it....the Pyeong Chang expansion lasts about an hour or two and is much more fun than the main game IMO. It's For Honor with snow and no swords. I'm happy to have it but wouldn't recommend it overwhelmingly and I don't know what kind of wacky tobacky they were smoking when they decided it would be a good fit for Switch in the first place.

@EightBitMan That's a mighty high trading price for such an irrelevant company on a perpetual course for failure..... Nintendo is irrelevant to you. Not to tens of millions of people who gladly purchase their products.

As for Cyberpunk we don't even know if PS4 is getting that. It has no release window.

@Knuckles-Fajita Dont' be silly, development on DQXI for Switch will keep doing better and better the closer we get to PS4 release day. Why, I think by 9/5 it will suddenly be "coming along extremely well, please stay tuned" and by 10/1 "will have exciting news to share in the coming days!"

Where is 1080 when we need it most
And I was one of the idiots that preordered it.
Never again.

And nothing of value was lost.

@EightBitMan lol all of these links are from before the Switch dropped... Their all dated from Jan 2017 and before 😂😂😂... The desperation is real...

If your going to talk doo doo, at least make it relevant to the year we are in. None of what you just said is relevant in 2018 1.5 years after the Nintendo Switch.

I know you really hope that Nintendo fail, i know you you hate that the Switch is a success, i actually have a friend who is exactly like you, he wishes the same. He wants to play Nintendo games legally on his PC... (He wants to support Nintendo, but not their hardware)... Annoying but thats people, nearly 8 billion of us so its hard to see eye to eye.

I'll be honest with you bro, this forum isn't really for you. You should move on.

To be fair to these guys, they probably made a rational judgement call, based on the lack of hype for the port, and decided they wouldn't get their money back. The Wii U still has a lot of western and even Japanese devs a little gunshy about the Switch. But, as more games like Octopath succeed, they'll realize there's a good market for the right kind of games. Not to mention, once the Switch hits critical mass, it'll be silly to ignore its install-base.

@zool

Totally agree on that !

@EightBitMan Okay, okay troll. We get it, you bought a few Ninty systems and are still pissed they didn't give you a handy. There are other websites that probably discuss your interests. Do you really have nothing better to do with your time than troll every article on this site? Pathetic really. Go to Push Square and worship your Sony gods.

@EightBitMan

reads like you are worshipping a different piece of plastic or even just the opposite; why do you care?

that's a lot of typing to say nothing.

I wish it were cancelled. Game sucked on ps4

Also a rule to follow for all.

If you are going to post links to prove a point, make sure the links are date relevant... Obviously any article dated Jan 2017 and before will show Nintendo in a poor light...

I was hoping. The online must was something that kept me from buying it on PS4. I was hoping for a changed Switch version. Not funny from Ubisoft. But they know how to piss off Nintendo Fans

Ahahaha. Epic.

Hope they give us the watchdogs definitive version on the switch after the poor wii u port

Steep has dropped out of the RedOut/Bloodstained/Steep sweepstakes?!? That stinks, as I was looking forward to that squirrel suit. Oh, @everyone: just ignore the trolls.

Way to piss me off Ubisoft. Provide fake Switch gameplay footage for Nintendo to show at their big Switch event, and then cancel that game for no real reason. You essentially advertised a game that only exists on rival platforms, and that's not going to bode well with me. I was actually considering buying Starlink, but now I don't think I should support this company.

Steep was a terrible game anyway so no big loss. We could do with EA porting the PS3/360 SSX game though. That I'd buy.

@EightBitMan, I sense a hater out there who just wants his fifteen minutes of fame.

@Knuckles-Fajita yep, notice that as well from Square Enix.

Eh, whether it was coming or not, I'm not too bothered regardless. I bought Rahman and Mario+Rabbits on Switch and I plan to buy Child of Light, Valiant Hearts and Starlink.

@EightBitMan LMAO! Nintendo is so irrelevant that they were trending all evening yesterday.

@Audiobrainiac good idea.

@EightBitMan "Because who cares about better gaming... or gamin at all?"

Last year's GOTY (for everyone except Jim Sterling) would like to have a word with you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJnnn0BBj_c

@EightBitMan
So you cite evidence of Nintendo being "irrelevant" by linking years-old speculative "doom" videos from a single Youtuber, whose speculation have all turned out false given the Switch's current success?

It doesn't matter how much you say it; none of what you say is or will be true.

What complete and utter BULLS**T!!!
Doom and Wolfy 2 are possible on Switch. Steep uses the Snowdrop engine; same as Mario + Rabbids. God, Ubisoft is not even trying.

"Too hard. Please give us your money"

Not that I was looking forward to it, anyways. I've been tired of Ubisoft's "Live Service" model since Assassin's Creed Origins...

Steep wasn’t that good anyway , the always online requirement even for single player killed it for me (on xboxone) . Couldn’t play half the time because the servers were offline

@FlimFlam "We would like to invite fans to keep playing anywhere, anytime inside the living room." LOL . I keep reading your comment and cracking up.

Kinda was. It didn't seem like a hard game to put on the Switch but what do I know. I know 'Panic Button' wouldn't have had a problem with it. They seem Switch-tastic😎

@zool Waverace would be such an amazing $39 digital download. Just a quick, short, quality game like the N64 version. Something to beat in a single weekend and play occasionally with friends.

Hopefully Nintendo will surprise us with it, because they have already "used up" many of their main franchises (or are in the process of releasing them next year). So they kind of need more stuff for the year 2020 and beyond.

@jzf69 Mind your language!

Ubisoft seems to only port games to the Switch that have a 6 month development cycle, e.g. (Rayman, Mario+Rabbids, Just Dance, Monopoly) so no surprise there. Mostly just shovelware from Ubistank. I bet Starlink will be canceled too.

Eh, the writing was on the wall for Steep some time ago. I wasn't interested enough to buy it on other platforms because of the online requirement. I probably would have given it a go on Switch just because it would've needed an off-line mode being portable. I think it would've been a pretty neat game on Switch. But that's about it. I'm not shedding any tears for this one.

We still have South Park Stick of Truth, Trials Rising, Starlink (aka open world StarFox that actually looks good), Child of Light and Valiant Hearts in the near future from Ubisoft, and I expect even more to be announced in the coming months.

@bchagan
Please don't bring your political views to this discussion about video games. Nobody gives a s***.

@Realnoize
Good point.

Lol... Ubisoft has released 5+ games on the Nintendo Switch, 2 of which have done solid sales and are not shovelware

They have announced 2 more critically acclaimed games in Child of light and Valiant hearts and 1 AAA game with exclusive Nintendo content in Starlink... Dropping before xmas.

Cancels one unpopular 2016 port and its Nintendoomed 😂😂

@Anti-Matter What you are saying has nothing to do with the Switch video game library. You are obviously stuck in a time dimensional period around the Wii U days. Fix your teleportation system and come back to 2018.

@Tasuki dude chill... Think about it... Ubisoft has released a bunch of games on the switch already, 2 are fully fledged AAA games (one a port one exclusive both sold well) they have announced 2 more critically acclaimed ports due to drop this year and 1 more AAA game with exclusive Nintendo content.

Then Bandai brining DBFZ and Dark souls remastered
Capcom bring monster hunter GU (exclusive to Nintendo) this year.

Ubisoft cancelled one 2016 port that isn't even popular on the systems it was released on... Im one to get all nervous about this sort of thing but even i see through this... They are gonna over stretch themselves if they do release this.

And nothing of value was lost.

@EightBitMan
Oooh..... You know what ? 🙃
There are some 3rd party / Indie games that i have / will buy in the future for Nintendo Switch. Wanna know my games ?
1. Portal Knights (The BEST Indie games EVER !! )
2. Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles
3. Go Vacation
4. Overcooked Special Edition
5. Poi: Explorer Edition
6. LEGO CITY Undercover
7. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
8. Puyo Puyo Tetris
9. Lost Sphear
10. Super Bomberman R
11. Pokken Tournament DX
12. Street Fighter 30th Anniversary
Etc....

I have some Amiibos, they are so adorable to be collected and they are useful for certain games.

I want to say this again. Nintendo = AWESOME !!

Ah, too bad.
You refuse to join in Nintendo party.
Well, have fun with your boring party then...

@EightBitMan Are you daft? You can't properly put the power of the current console gen into a hand held device, you'll burn your hands off with the heat generated alone! The Switch is a lightning fast mobile device and can output very strong visuals for such a device, but no one in their right mind would expect a hand held device to keep up with current console standards: everything has to be designed much smaller and much more safely for the consumer that is physically holding the computer in their hand.

And if you're suggesting they shouldn't have designed for handhled, they'd be idiots to ignore the popularity of that market in their native country. That Switch is doing so well is testament to its slick design and versatility; its portability especially. The most powerful handheld ever.

If you don't understand this, then you didn't grow up in the days of Game boy, Game gear and Tiger.

@Antraxx777 he understands all of that, but like any troll, he doesn't care.

@Obitokamui64 If it's politics that opposes the fascism of the Trump regime, then I give a sh!t.

@EightBitMan You wrote alot. I hope you feel better. I like that my console is handheld and compromises are made for that to happen - but personally, I play Nintendo games with Nintendo products and have a good time.. and that’s about all there is to my thoughts about Nintendo.... You seem to be pretty worked up over a product from a company.

@EightBitMan

You really just crafted a verbose argument based in shaming people for enjoying Nintendo's platform(s) . . . on a Nintendo fan site . . . and then backed it with a dated list of citations mostly from nobody YouTubers. 😂

I will say one thing: It's impressive how you managed to stretch this article's reporting to support your nonsense. There are valid Nintendo criticisms, but yours jump the border into "Nintendoom Land".

Regardless, obvious troll is obvious. You don't deserve to be dignified any further. Consider your time might be better spent elsewhere.

@EightBitMan I’ll just say if the Switch was really supposed to compete in the same space as the Xbox One and PS4 I’d agree. It doesn’t though so I have to disagree. I enjoy it for what it is, a powerful handheld game system that can also play games on a TV. (A feature I never use) Next time you want to compare the switch to the other consoles take the other two out with you and play them without your tv. I’m not dying to have the 3rd party games you mention on my Switch, I have an Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and PC for those other games. As the install base continues to grow, more and more games will come. Hardcore gamers would probably always have other game systems in addition to their Nintendo. What’s wrong with buying a Nintendo console to play Nintendo games? I don’t get the hate.

I've liked skiing games in the past so I was excited for this game when it was originally listed for the Switch. I eventually got impatient and bought it for PS4. Unfortunately, I found it quite boring. I think the open world nature really killed it. There was too much wandering around, wondering if I was doing what I was supposed to, and it just didn't have the sense of speed I expected. I hate to see a major 3rd party game cancelled, but I honestly don't think you're missing much in this title.

To the person above me with "What's wrong with buying Nintendo consoles to play Nintendo games?" That line of reasoning always annoyed me. Yes, I like Nintendo games, but that doesn't mean I don't want any 3rd party games. It's been ages since a Nintendo console got a good racing game (apart from karting), no Tekken 7 or Mortal Kombat, etc. I didn't really want to buy a PS4, but the selection of games on Switch was just too limited.

Does Steep utilize Ubisofts stupid online service? I wonder if them stopping development has anything to do with Nintendo's service getting ready to go live. Maybe Ubisoft asked them to allow their service as a download and Nintendo said "no thanks".

No big deal. We got free mobile game Hungry Shark World for $9.99 instead!

@EightBitMan You said on a post in another article that you didn’t own a console right now, so why are you so invested in what the Switch and other consoles are doing?

@Cosats
"What you are saying has nothing to do with the Switch video game library. You are obviously stuck in a time dimensional period around the Wii U days. Fix your teleportation system and come back to 2018."

Why not ?
Wii like games are not a Bad thing.
We already got "Cooking Mama" style game from Waku Waku Sweets (Switch version) yesterday.
Btw, i just only assumed if Ubisoft want to revive some Old franchises in HD + better gameplay for Nintendo Switch.

I wish I was Mega Man, then I would battle EightBitMan, defeat him and use his trolling and hating powers to become Dr. Wily's #1 henchmen and take over the internet once and for all.

Super Fighting Robot, EightBitMegaMan!

P.S. I notice ppl commenting on a certain somebody's "irrelevant" comment.

Truth is, angry virgins are in every community and he'll find a lady who will take the anger away...some day

Meh Nintendo already trademark 1080 anyways so I'll wait on what they'll do with that instead.

@sanderev Wheres your source that Mario vs Rabbids was funded by Nintendo?

First up its standard ubisoft!
Second you gotta love the wording, we've just cancelled your game and we've got more great news coming!

@BumpkinRich Logical thinking.

Either:
A. Nintendo paid them upfront for addition of Nintendo characters.
or:
B. Nintendo fans paid them because of high sales for everything with a Nintendo character on the box.

In any case, Ubisoft piggybacks on Nintendo's IPs here.

Just make a new 1080

And idiocy like this is why Ubisoft never gets the benefit of the doubt from the Nintendo userbase despite generally supporting Nintendo systems pretty well. Doesn't seem like the game was that great, but still a shame to not see a promised version of it happen. Hey Ubisoft, to make up for this, how about Red Steel 3?

@EightBitMan That's it. Sony has unleashed its army of drones to intensify the smear campain against Nintendo. And as usual it will hurts the sales of all japanese videogames. You want to support the japanese industry? Boycott Sony. They do their best to destroy the japanse industry by turning the industry into a pure battle of marketing budget of games made without any game designer.

@hatch @Razer great comments on here with actual relevancy and news.

On the other hand @Anti-Matter I can’t really tell if your being sarcastic or being funny when you ask for Ubisoft shovelware like the Petz and Imagine series 😂 but honestly yea we def don't need any more of those awful titles right? 😉

Ubi has a good catalogue of IP's and franchises that would sell well, and continue giving the Switch a good image in the gaming community as a a versatile gaming machine, which can can play AAA ports on the go, that the console would benefit from and that are fun to play on the go.

@MaSSiVeRiCaN
I wasn't sarcastic about Petz series / Imagine series from Ubisoft.
Actually, i have interest with those series.
Also, i have Gold's Gym Cardio Workout Wii, The Dog Island Wii, Imagine Boutique Owner NDS, etc & those games were published by Ubisoft.

We had heard about Fit Boxing for Nintendo Switch, developed by same developer as Shape Boxing Wii in Japan / Gold's Gym Cardio Workout Wii USA.
So, my prediction if Ubisoft will publish Fit Boxing for USA / PAL version with different name (Maybe Gold's Gym Cardio Workout 2).

Well, those games are maybe not so Wow as AAA titles, but those games are mostly matched with my taste, Casual gameplay but worthy as Harcdore player.

I don't need AAA Ultra Violence Action games at all.
I just need appropriate games that can be played by Casuals, Kids, Elder, Women and Everyone.

Gutted. I was looking forward to this. I loved SSX tricky and 1080 on the gamecube, I'm a big skiier so love playing those kinds of games! This one would have tied me over till we got something better. Will we get a 1080 snowboarding game? I hope so... is the demand there? Well, one person would would buy it day one...

@NEStalgia my issue is Ubisoft comes up with ideas that I love and then they ruin them(for me) right before release. I love snowboarding (games, I like my legs in one piece, thanks) and I love sword fighting (ok fighting but still) yet I don’t own steep or for honor because of the strings attached. Ill be less annoyed once someone puts a snowboarding game on Switch. I wish the olli olli dev would branch out. Lol

@Ryu_Niiyama Well the problem with Ubisoft games is usually more that there aren't any strings attached. They cut them from the budget. So all the marionette pieces are there, but they don't move and aren't connected because the strings aren't there.

There's so much I love about Steep. The concept and feel and boarding is great. Then you have an open world that makes no sense since all it does is make you walk to start gates. And you can't because you're on a freaking mountain. Then the mountain starts talking to you in your head like an ancient mystical ghost or something and that makes no sense at all, but it's French, so you just go with it. And there's this completely disconnected emptyness about a game about action sports. The Pyeong Chang expansion is short but it just gives you event after event without free roam junk and the sense of of a depressed mountain that you're riding on and feels a lot better. Also, it has skiiing and such added.

It's probably the best snow sports game I've played in many ways....and yet....there's something very wrong about it. Much like Crew 2.

@sanderev So it was an opinion that you presented as a fact.

"we will have more exciting news soon”

Can’t wait for Just Dance : Steep Soundtrack edition at 69.99

Ubquitters yet again, nothing new out of them when it comes to Nintendo. Sometimes you just need to know when to stop supporting a company.

The right occasion for announcing that was as a Twitter reply to a fan?

ok, ubi.

I heard it isn't that strong, so it isn't a big loss. But they basically say: Nintendo has bad online so we canned the game because of that.
