Earlier this year, an image with the branding “Assassin’s Creed: Rising Phoenix” was found online (probably via a leak), and people began speculating that perhaps Ubisoft had accidentally let out a secret Vita project– or even a movie. To peoples’ dismay, Ubisoft promptly denied that they had any involvement with that logo, but today someone found a similar image– with the same logo– hidden within their latest game, Assassin’s Creed IV.
Maybe it was some sort of internal joke, but now that the image is directly tied with the company, it’ll be hard for them to deny some involvement! We’ll see what comes of it.

IGN has published a new Mario Party: Island Tour preview with a few more details about the game. For the latest information, check out the summary below.
– Hot-Air Hijinks: multiplayer quick play mode
– In this mode, you can set matches to end after 3, 5, or 7 wins
– Match Faker: like a memory-based card game
– Mini-game begins with the cards facing up and players have a brief amount of time to jot down notes on the touchscreen
– The cards then flip over and players need to identify the position of specific cards chosen at random
– Bumper Thumper: Bumper Cars in a small area
– Use short bursts from your thrusters to push each other out of the playing field to win
– As players bounce off the walls, they deteriorate until they disappear
– Color Correction: glide over and paint as many tiles as possible on a set surface area
– The player with the most painted tiles at the end wins
– Sinking Feeling: AR game; climb up a green pipe as it slowly sinks into a lava pit
– In the mini-game, more pieces drop from the top of the screen and can block off pathways
– The pace the pieces would fall from the top increased as the game goes on
