The Assassin’s Creed franchise has already visited plenty of time periods, locations, and settings. A new Assassin’s Creed game taking place in present day is unlikely, however.
Assassin’s Creed IV lead writer
more or less ruled out the possibility during a Reddit AMA he participated in earlier today. He said:
“I doubt we would do a modern day AC. There are just too many mechanics we would have to develop to make it believeable [sic] … vehicles, plausible modern cities, a huge array of ranged weapons, etc. The modern day will most likely remain as a “context” for all future games, something to tie them all together.”

Nintendo issues statement on Wii Karaoke U’s censor-free songs
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Wii Karaoke U does not censor any songs in Europe. This was intentional, Nintendo has confirmed. A statement sent out by the company says it “does not restrict which songs are included in the catalogue of songs” because the application “is intended to provide users with access to a large catalogue of songs from a broad range of music labels across a variety of musical genres – designed to appeal to all music tastes.” Note that a warning will be added within the eShop in the near future.
You can find Nintendo’s full statement below.

Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:
Link’s downward strike was designed to change to a Meteor Smash when the tip of the sword is aligned just right at the start. However, it will be removed if it’s deemed too powerful overall after some multiplayer play tests.
