Wii U Vs Xbox 360: Assassin's Creed 3 Reveals The Truth

Assassin's Creed 3 puts the Wii U to the test. Do third party games really look better on Nintendo's new console?

Assassin’s Creed 3 is one of the many third party games heading to the Wii U that Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime believes looks better on its new console.

With the Wii U currently already out in the US and scheduled for release in the UK and Japan later this week, it’s about time we took one of Ubisoft’s biggest games of the year and put the Wii U to the test.

Does it really have the best version of third party games like Reggie Fils-Aime believes?

Here’s a breakdown of Assassin’s Creed 3’s opening moments distilled down into screenshot form. Does the Wii U version best the Xbox 360 version?

It’s hard to say (which probably means it doesn’t make a vast difference). There’s certainly something distinct about the Wii U version of Assassin’s Creed 3, but does it really look substantially better?

We’ll leave that for you to decide.
