Assassin’s Creed III contains a reference teasing what would be the next entry in the series, Black Flag. At one point in the game, Connor mentions that sailing runs in his family and how Edward Kenway – the star of Assassin’s Creed IV and Connor’s grandfather – “sailed with a rough crew”. Take a look at the video above for the pertinent scene.

A couple of new items are on sale at Amazon. First up, both versions of Adventure Time are going for $19.54 currently. You can also purchase a Wii Classic Controller Pro for $13 – specifically, the white model.

Remember, the Wii Classic Controller Pro is not the same as the Wii U Pro Controller. You can, however, use a Wii Classic Controller Pro with a Wii U in some instances.

Seijiro Tomita took Nintendo to court over a glasses-free 3D patent last month after filing a lawsuit back in 2011. Today, a New York federal jury ruled against the company, which will be forced to pay $30.2 million in damages.

Tomita was granted a patent in 2008 for technology that allows users to see 3D content without special glasses. While Nintendo did meet with Tomita in 2003, the hardware manufacturer argued that he was one of many providers it met with and, as The Verge notes, “avoided key aspects of his patent.” The jury sided with Tomita in the end, resulting in the guilty verdict for Nintendo.

Toki Tori 2 developer Two Tribes has some interest in working on Nintendo’s legendary Star Fox series. Taking things further, studio co-founder Collin van Ginkel told Nintendo Chronicle that the studio “could make a damn fine Star Fox game for Wii U.”

van Ginkel said:

“I think we could make a damn fine Star fox game for Wii U. Yes, a classic Star fox game would be awesome to work on.”

Nintendo has been more open to letting other studios touch their IPs over the past few years… while I don’t think it’s likely that Two Tribes would ever work on a Star Fox project, you never know!
