Hot, juicy footage of Assassin's Creed 3.
Nintendo consoles are of course no strangers to the Assassin’s Creed series. Unfortunately, we rather wish they were strangers, as both Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery and Assassin’s Creed: Altair’s Chronicles were guff DS games.
Third time lucky, then? We already knew that Assassin’s Creed Wii U was happening after Ubisoft and Nintendo made a big deal about it at last year’s E3. However what we didn’t know then was whether the game would be a knocked together ‘greatest hits’ collection comprising levels and storylines from Assassin’s Creed past, or whether it’d be a brand new game.
It’s a brand new game. Assassin’s Creed III Wii U has been confirmed today. Whoop! Without further ado, here’s the first Assassin’s Creed III Wii U trailer, albeit a cinematic one that applies to the Other Formats as well as Wii U.

If that little teaser gets your blood pumping then you’ll want to check out issue 74 of Nintendo Gamer magazine, which has an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U. We’re the only Nintendo magazine in the world to see the game, so you won’t be able to read about it anywhere else. The magazine is on sale 23 March but we’ll have a reminder nearer the time so don’t worry about whipping out your diary to mark that date.
The Assassin’s Creed III release date is confirmed as 31 October 2012 on other formats, which makes it highly likely that Assassin’s Creed III Wii U will be a Wii U launch game. Hey, could this mean that the Wii U launch date itself be 31 October? Speculation ahoy…
*This isn't Youtube, so I can't embed the video here* when the trailer gets posted to Youtube, I will embed it. *
