Ubisoft announces “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag GameStop Edition” for the US

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Along with today’s gameplay unveiling for Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Ubisoft has announced a special edition for North America.

Consumers can now pre-order the “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag GameStop Edition” which comes with the exclusive in-game content known as “The Black Island Pack”. As the name implies, it can only be found at GameStop.

We’ve personally confirmed with Ubisoft that the GameStop Edition will be available for Wii U. That makes this product one of the first special/collector’s editions for the console.

The Black Island Pack includes:

• The dark and dangerous treasure-hunting quest: Black Island.
• The deadly Black Ship.
• Legendary silver flintlock pistols used by Captain Morgan.
• Valuable multiplayer items including Captain Morgan’s costume, picture, and title.

And here’s a description of the content straight from Ubisoft:

“In Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag’s The Black Island Pack, Captain Morgan’s favorite ship sank off the coast with a full load of legendary sailing equipment. Explore the Black Island and retrieve sought-after treasure to aid you on your adventures.”

Those who pre-order Assassin’s Creed IV from GameStop will also receive a double-sided poster featuring the Bloody Seas Treasure Map and original artwork made by Todd McFarlane. A shot of the poster is posted below:

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, DS, DSiWare, News, Wii Shop Channel, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Another round of Nintendo maintenance (“extended” this time, not “emergency”!) will be taking place on all of Nintendo’s platforms over the next few days.

The bulk of the downtime is happening today. Each one of Nintendo’s online shops will be down between 12 PM and 6 PM PT. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 will be affected at different parts of the day as well.

Tomorrow’s maintenance is much lighter – only Pokemon Black/White 1/2 will see downtime.

The full schedule is posted below.
