Rumor: Next issue of Nintendo Gamer to feature “an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U”
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo Gamer claims that they’ll have “an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U” in its next issue.
But, here’s the thing. The magazine’s previews tend to be hit or miss, and for all we know, this could be nothing more than a roundup of already-provided information. Nintendo also seems to be keeping third-parties quiet about their projects – that’s something else to to keep in mind.
In any case, here’s what the magazine wrote earlier today:
“…you’ll want to check out issue 74 of Nintendo Gamer magazine, which has an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U. We’re the only Nintendo magazine in the world to see the game, so you won’t be able to read about it anywhere else. The magazine is on sale 23 March but we’ll have a reminder nearer the time so don’t worry about whipping out your diary to mark that date.”
