Review Assassin's Creed III (Wii U)
America, **** yeah!
Assassin's Creed III is a weird game to launch alongside Wii U: there is little context for those Nintendo-only players who sat out the other four games because they perhaps didn't own the proper hardware, and those who are invested in the series probably already picked this up elsewhere when it released weeks before the Wii U...

Soooooo, excited. I actually told my wife the night before e3 that I wished this game would port over to Nintendo. Never thought it actually would and this took me by complete surprise!
This was certainly unexpected! Does anyone know if this is a new exclusive title for Wii U or just a port of one of the other games?
Never played assassins creed really, but looks like a good time to buy now
this is awesome!!!!!!!!!! i love the assassins creed series, the best I've played is revalations so far
Hmm. I don't care if it is an exclusive or a port. However, I won't get my hopes up because of what happened to Assassin's Creed 3DS.
it appears this new assassins creed game will be new, not a port

I Love Assassin's Creed and I'm really glad its finally coming to Nintendo.... this is a defiant buy for me
I wonder if they'll add anything to this version. I played through the entire campaign for the PS3 and it was an awesome game. Just can't get enough of this series!!!
This has been my favorite series to hit a platform in years. The story has gotten better and better with each game that's been released. The content is massive, the ship battles are incredible and fun to play, and the side missions alone are better than alot of AAA title games out there. At least in my opinion.
