WiiU port of AC3 with extra content and practical GamePad use. The game itself is uneven - slow progression and uncharismatic Connor remain persistent flaws. For franchise fans wanting to explore it on WiiU.

Assassin's Creed III (Wii U) price, value & rarity
Is Assassin's Creed III still worth playing in 2026?
A pivotal entry in Ubisoft's saga, Assassin's Creed III moves the action to the American War of Independence, with a new hero, the half native Connor, and an engine reworked for forests, hunting and naval battles. The ambition of the historical reconstruction and the birth of sailing leave a mark. The stiff parkour and a sluggish start remain its weaknesses. The Wii U version adds the map on the GamePad. A title for fans of historical adventure and the curious about a turning point in the series.
