Assassin’s Creed 3 creative director Alex Hutchinson has revealed that the Wii U version of Assassin’s Creed 3 is exactly the same as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. Hutchinson said that he was relieved that the development team managed to produce exactly the same game that’s on the other platforms without sacrificing anything.

“I’m super excited whenever we demo the Wii U. It is exactly the same game that’s on the other platforms. And I know that sounds ridiculous, but it’s been a long time since I’ve shipped a game on more than three platforms where you could say it’s all the same. It’s not like some radically diminished version, so that’s exciting.”

It’s always a challenge with new hardware, but it’s also exciting. I love the smell of new plastic, that day you get home with your new piece of kit. And it’s been a long time since we’ve had a new piece of kit.”
