Assassin's Creed II: Discovery To Make Use of DSi Camera

"it will see the game's protagonist Ezio taking flight to Spain in order to help out some fellow assassins." He's a helpful old soul, isn't he? How's he going to fly to Spain though, considering it's set in the 15th Century?

shouldn't we want DSi only releases now? validate it as a handlheld and all, plus it's more powerful/capable

@wanderlustwarrior : more powerful? Yes, but only a little bit. So, they have to be mad in order to 'ban' DS/DSLite-users.

It's a small thing but a really cool thing to include in a game. Nintendo needs to encourage more of this from their developers, these kind of niche things expands the market. All they'd have to do then is improve their promotions so we don't end up with another Corruption fiasco. This online promotion here for a FREE wii, this is something Nintendo should do more often and for individual games to generate buzz.

@invmat: I'm not saying " 'ban' " DS/DSLite-users; don't quote as if I were. Having been a DSLite owner myself, with friends who still are, I realize how much that might suck.

What I will say is that with the DSi having the better part of a year in age, while exclusive titles to it will be coming out in a few months, it would need an actually significant titles, which Assassin's Creed is, to justify launching it both when they did, and at all.

It's cool to see your pictures that you took with your DSi camera on games.

the ds gets the game but the wii doesn't?!? ugh whats wrong with video game developers?!?

@SanderEvers: so that's the stats! I knew it was significant, but my busy (read: lazy) self couldn't be bothered to remember the stats.

@Dark_Zelda: Simple answer really: it won't sell. I wish it weren't true, but action games not published by Nintendo tend to sell quite poorly on Wii. And they barely sell on the DS, too. Which is a damn shame, cause it would work quite well with the control scheme they'd first thought up for the series (more tactile commands instead of the normal button presses)

@wanderlustwarrior

Not selling isn't completely true. Yes action games tend to sell less on the Wii platform but it also doesn't costs as much. If the game was done by a smaller yet no less talented team, they could potentially make consideral profit at 500,000 units. No More Heroes and The Conduit are good examples of this.

Interesting

i wanna see some screen shots of the ds version cuz i know the one at the top wasnt!
