Ubisoft: All consoles are equal with Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Just as it did at E3, Ubisoft brought along a Wii U build of Assassin’s Creed III to Gamescom 2012. The playable demo features some of the game’s naval combat.
Creative director Alex Hutchinson says that with the new system, “all consoles for once are the same.”
“We’re showing that everything is pretty much the same. It’s exciting for me that all consoles for once are the same. Between PC, 360, PS3 and Wii U, they’re the same game. We’re just showing everyone that everything’s fine. There’s no need to worry. Every platform you buy it on will be great.”
Lead designer Steven Masters echoed similar statements:
“It’s the same assets and the same engine. The guys in Quebec have been porting it for quite a long time. It’s completely equable.”
Masters also explained some of the unique features included in the Wii U version of Assassin’s Creed III:
“We’ve got a couple of things. First, we just display the map by default. Then for the weapon selection you have quick access using the touch-pad to select exactly what weapons and tools you want to use.”

Rumor: Wii U achievement system to be called “Wii U Accomplishments”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
Wii U will have achievements on a game-by-game basis. While they aren’t mandatory for developers, it’s possible that there will be an all-encompassing system called “Wii U Accomplishments”.
That speculation comes from the image above. It’s a snapshot from the Project Cars “Career Design Document” from May.
Nintendo hasn’t said too much about achievements on Wii U. But for what it’s worth, the StreetPass Mii Plaza on the 3DS does have its own set of accomplishments.
