    In the latest issue Nintendo Power there was a massive amount of information regarding Assassin's Creed III. Ubisoft has been pretty tight lipped about the Wii U version of their upcoming release. Its a relief to see some concrete evidence regarding the game.

    They have released this information...
    - Wii U tablet controller can act as some form of link to the Assassin’s Creed “Animus”
    - Wii U tablet Animus can be used as a persistent on-screen map and navigation tool.
    - Animus Database entries that may pop up from time to time, could be displayed on the touchscreen instead and not interrupt the flow of the game.
    - The Animus can also act as an encyclopedia of information. Character biographies and bits of information that would normally be cast aside could be displayed on the touchscreen (take a break and read up on the side story & character history while eating dinner?).
    - Easy touchscreen weapon selection during combat. Quick change from dual-wield combat to single with a simple touch.
    - Using the touchscreen as an alternate view for Eagle Vision. Using the built-in accelerometer to control the camera view while in Eagle Vision.
    One question that is on many peoples lips is will it blend? or will it just be a hindrance for the player, only time will tell.

      Oh God, now we're beginning to talk about WiiU. Can't we talk about Wii until launch day of WiiU?

      Absolutely not. There's no more exciting news regarding the Wii (in my opinion anyway). Out with the old and in with the new. What point is there in talking about the Wii?

      Anyway I see the tablet as being thoughtful but i'm not sure if it's really necessary. Without the tablet how are we going to play the WiiU? Wiimote? I just want to be done with these weird controllers..

      The Wii should have already done this sort of stuff with connecting the DS and a game card to the Wii game title, making the player use the DS as a controller while playing a Wii game on the TV screen. Nintendo just keeps pissing on their own legs...

      Anyways, I'm happy to see these kinds of ideas FINALLY being put to use on the WiiU platform!

      Ubisoft says it will be it's most preordered game ever with already triple the preorders from the last one, supposedly it will be released on October 31st and they say will be on another level than the other console versions. I think they will use the tablet touch screen to quickly swap between wepons and items.

      Glad to see Ubisoft's putting effort into this. Not like with the Wii, where you had to play crapped-on versions of most multiplatform games. Also nice to see the ideas Nintendo intended with the tablet controller being used by third parties so quickly, but hopefully it doesn't devolve the way the Wii Remote did.
