I dug up a list of Ubi's 7 launch titles for the Wii:

Far Cry: Vengeance - Ubisoft

Open Season - Ubisoft

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent - Ubisoft

GT Pro Series - Ubisoft

Monster 4X4 World Circuit - Ubisoft

Rayman Raving Rabbids - Ubisoft

Red Steel - Ubisoft

How many of those would you take over a halfway competent Assassin's Creed 3 port?


I am not sure, but I would take an Assassin's Creed 2 port over all of those combined.

first we complain that we don't get the games, then we complain when we do...

Nintendo fans, there is no pleasing us

I don't think these are Nintendo fans complaining; more like detractors. I consider myself a Nintendo fan, and I can't see how a true fan would be complaining about being given the two largest new franchises (Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect) of this passing generation. It makes no sense. Do you really want some junior version or spinoff version of the series?

I will say this as well, as much as I liked the Crystal Chronicles game on Wii, a port of Final Fantasy X would have been MUCH prefered.

I'm sure that this "port" of Assassin's Creed 3 will be inferior to the AC games on the Wii...

LoL... OP is mad that Wii U is getting "ports" of multiplatform games that aren't even out yet.  Let's take a look at all of the Wii U titles Ubisoft has in store and see just what kind of "ports" some of these games are...

Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth... Wii U/360, fall 2012
Just Dance 4... Wii U / PS360, fall 2012
Assassin's Creed III... Wii U / PCS360, fall 2012
Rabbids Land... Wii U exclusive, 2012.
Rayman Legends... timed Wii U exclusive 2012, then potentially on PCS360 in '13.
Sports Connection... Wii U, TBA
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online...PC with Wii U version to follow... end '12 and beyond.
Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013... Wii U exclusive, 2012/13
ZombiU... Wii Exclusive, 2012

Wow, so out of all those games, whileonly  2 are originals for the Wii U, there's only 3 actual "ports" from current gen consoles... Marvel, Just Dance and AC3... all of which have enhanced gameplay features via the tablet controller, and none of these games are ports of older games. The only disappointment here is that Far Cry 3 is apparently not coming to the Wii U, unless Ubisoft decides to port it over in the future. Too bad, you'd think that would be a great game for the Wii along with AC3.

And it should also be noted that some of these multiplatform games are going to have v-synch (Arkham City and Assassin's Creed 3 as far as I remember) so aren't going to have screen tearing. That's been a major bugbear of mine this gen, I can't see the point in developers making a game look great only to have it turn to shite every time the player moves the camera.

I'll never be pleased until I can download from the eShop Assassins Creed II.

To me, it's bad to have ports in this situation because one would expect new games coming from a new console. I already have a PS3, so ports of PS360 games don't add much much to the console (even if it has "new" controls) which translates in not buying the console.
Of course, everybody doesn't feel the same, and probably I am a minority but anyway that's how I feel.

Also, in the case of Batman (and probably Asscreed 3), the port of Wii U is late than the PS360, if I wanna play it so hard I would buy the Ps3 or 360 version first.

@MRKs So the WiiU should have got AssCreed 4 and future releases that haven't been announced or spinoffs that would an separate team working on?
