Spike just recently put up an interview with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma.

The publisher shared the news with MCV. Ubisoft UK brand manager Omebline Wallon told the site:

“The Assassin’s Creed franchise has already sold over 6.6 million units in the UK and over the past few years it has become a staple in gamers’ diaries. Since we announced Black Flag in March, we have supported it at every beat of the campaign. We will be increasing our media presence as we near launch.”

Wallon says anticipation for Assassin Creed’s next entry, Black Flag, is “high”.

“This year the anticipation is high, especially with the game coming on PS4 and Xbox One. Consumers are very excited about what the new consoles have to offer.”

An official Kickstarter for Ping 2: Attack of the Spheres is now open. You can check it out for yourself here.

Last month, creator Christopher Arnold announced his intentions to launch a Kickstarter for Ping 2. The pong-like game can now become a reality – and release on Wii U – if funds reach $20,000.

A number of ideas are already in mind for Ping 2 on Wii U. The plan is support five-player FPS local multiplayer, the ability to swap with another user (like taking turns in Super Mario Bros.), gyroscope aiming in FPS mode, off-TV play, and asynchronous gameplay for when playing on TV mode.
