At this point, Ubisoft and Nintendo are friends. Well, that’s what it feels like to fans of the brands, at least. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot seemed to reaffirm these notions in a recent interview with Gamespot.
The CEO talked a bit about working with the company on the Wii U and even singled out Shigeru Miyamoto in a moment of praise.
It’s a long-term relationship, so we’ve been working with them on all the machines they launched, and so from the beginning of the Wii to the Wii U, Switch, we were always there with them, and so we have been working closely while it was going out, when it was more difficult, so we are real partners that are happy to work together, and that helps a lot. We like what they do also. We are big fans of what Mr. Miyamoto and his team is creating, so that helps the creators at Ubisoft to work with the Nintendo teams because they learn so much.”
From the sounds of it, Ubisoft and Nintendo have a fantastic relationship. The industry titans will likely work on collaborations in the future. What could they be? Speculate in the comments below!

This has been known for quite a long time, but it's very interesting (if not telling) that they've come out and said it in plain English.
Would love to see Ubi and Nintendo continue on into the future as good industry pals.
