My most anticipated game.

Honestly, I see this tablet controller as being a very exciting concept for reasons such as this

~~~~ Mario Kart 8 drove far past my expectations! Never again will I doubt the wheels of a Monster Franchise! :0 ~~~~

This and ZombieU, I think I might actually buy a WiiU at launch.



A...bigger mini map? OK..



They forgot to mention that it's on a NEXT GEN SYSTEM.

Cool stuff! Sony and MS need to make controllers like it and I will buy!!!



Maps are great - I mean, I can't go back to castlevania pressing select anymore (jk)

But they are the most basic things you can do on a second screen. But there are a few "buttons" on that map that must mean that more things with the game pad are possible in ASS Creed 3.

But maps with annotations are always welcome. This game can use it well, but on GTA that's is going to be great, if it happen.

Impossible! They will not be able to keep up with the Wii U, so you will have to just wait until the 720 and PS4 comes out. Sorry to dissapoint Choco.

No doubt. Hey, I like the tablet controller, I will not deny it. I just connot justify owning so many consoles.



I wonder if SmartGlass would be able to do this as well? From the demos, I don't see why it wouldn't. It'd be nice if Ubi makes that available for AC3 on 360 at launch as well for use with the iPad, Android and W8 tablets as well as smartphones.

They could probably do the same with the Vita (and there is a version of the game coming for that too), though, which would also be cool.

Nice to see WiiU pushing feature like this into games and nice to see alternative means of pulling this off on other platforms as well. Dare I say EVERYBODY benefits???



Reasons why Assassin's Creed III might be worst on Wii U

  • System Level Achievements / Stats / whatever Nintendo does
    • Lose the system, lose the data as what happened to me when I sent my Wii for repair and they sent different refurbished Wii back
  • Nintendo Online "expertise" is basically limited to Mario Kart
    • Any online mode for Wii U, at least until they invest into it for a few years post-launch will likely be 3rd class citizen compared to PSN or XBox Live
