Having existed only as a listing on retailer release sheets, a lot of people were starting to think that Assassin's Creed DS was nothing more than vaporware. Not the case, as a GoNintendo reader snagged some box art (which contains a slew of information about the game) from a local GameStop, proving that the game does indeed exist.
Officially called Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles, the Gameloft developed DS title will take place before the events of the console version. As the screens and text tell us, Altair Chronicles features a fully 3D-rendered medieval world, where our little assasin will engage in sword fights and stealth assassinations. You'll also be able to use the stylus for interrogations, which makes me really uncomfortable, if you get where I'm coming from.
The GameStop release list we got our hands on last month has the game listed for a February release, and hopefully we'll hear more information before then. And before you start ripping this game a new one, I'm going to be honest with you guys -- I'm really interested in trying it out. Gameloft developed some pretty killer Prince of Persia mobile titles that have gotten me through some tough times in public rest rooms. I'm trying to remain optimistic that Altair will get similar attention.

Here's hoping it's a good game.
I'm not one of those people that believe that everything you can swing or mimic in real life should be made into a Wii game.
I'm just having a hard time understanding this type of move of putting it on the DS..
Putting a successful IP on the DS is a good business move. Tons of people have one (including xbox and ps3/2 owners), and the touch and dual screens have proven to be innovative when games are designed specifically with them in mind. This IP is new and important enough that I'm betting they're not just going to slap whatever together and put it on the DS cause they think of anywhere else to stick it. Seems like it could be really good.
( i also loved raising those sonic-adventure-thingies on the Dream-cast Visual Memory Unit :-) )
What's so great about slicing someone up in DS3D? There's not even any blood. Well, unless you f*** up your "interrogation".
Assassin's Creed is definitely a game in need of more focus, so this could actually work and in some ways be a purer version of the game.
Here's to hoping it's good.
NPC says to Jade Raymond: "We'll make this little glitch where the player doubles himself and can actually stab his double and die; It'll be Hilarious!"
I'll have to pass on this, methinks. Hitman is still the best franchise to go if you want stealth and assassination.
I don't think it would be good as the original. DS can only do so much.
There'll be no PC cut of Assasins Creed until it breaks even into enough profit. A DS version will perhaps indirectly help the possibility of a PC version.
You couldn't have done a digital graphic novel? They seem to be having success with Brothers in Arms and Call of Duty on the DS, so it very well may be appeasing.
But, I don't own a DS, so I doubt I'll ever actually get hands on this one.
Did you play Prince of Persia on XBLA? Certainly not perfect, but not bad at all.
