I would say there is a good chance there will also be a PC version.

Just saying.

Though an MMORPG on the WiiU would make sense with that controller.

Pretty much. :P

I wouldn't need another game ever again if they kept supporting the title.

Meh. I remember MS and Sony BOTH announcing they are trying to have a MMORPG on their console at some point. It never happens. Sony came out with DCU which maybe fits that bill, but was still vastly lacking when compared to what people expect - something more like WoW.

Oh boy, I can't wait for this one to be totally successful in the grand tradition of console MMOs. Anyway, Ubisoft is really getting on board with the Wii U. Whenever a new piece of hardware comes out these days, Ubisoft ends up making like half the games for it (see: Kinect, 3DS)

Lolwut? :?

I knew the Wii-U would offer a more varied gaming experience, but an MMO? And Ubisoft?

What in the world? Too early to tell I suppose. Hopefully it turns out to be cool!

Not gonna happen, Nintendo will never let Ubisoft to do such an important task.

Besides, Pokemon creator have mentioned that they don't intend to do something big in consoles since they think the experience is more suited for handhelds, in other words, no proper Pokemn game for WiiU and no MMO Pokemon...although i admit it would be amazing.

Remember when Ubisoft said they would bring "Nintendo-like" quality games to the Wii? Yeah, I'm being really skeptic here about their claims.

You see, this is what I was thinking. Ubisoft are claiming that their MMO is a AAA title, when it hasn't even been released. The only plausible solution I can come up with is a MMO of an already existing AAA title. Assassins creed MMO?

I highly doubt I'll play it, but hopefully that's an indication that the Wii-U's online capabilities won't suck.

they could mean AAA profile. as in the amount of resources and whatnot. you know, like how people say "AAA shooters" even when they don't use the "A's" system (or it doesn't match).

So that's like 2 MMOs for Wii U now? And that's before MH4G gets confirmed.

The real usage of AAA outside of SW means it's high budget. AAA for scores is SW-specific terminology.

AAA has nothing to do with scores outside of System Wars. All it means is that the game has a relatively big budget.
