Come on Ubisoft! Assasin's Creed for Wii!

I'm interested in this because Tenchu wasn't so great for the DS and niether was Phantom Hourglass, but I think that this will play like a mixture of the two (tho I've never played Assassin's Creed at all) games together, but I don't think it will be better than Ninja Gaiden, but I think it will help this type of action, adventure, stealth slasher platform pick up on the DS which I think is lacking seriously.
I'm up for it!

Yes we do need Assassin's Creed for the Wii, if I play this game and it's good, I'm going to want to play what would essential be the sequel for me which is only available on the competition's console. Nintendo still wins because this game should sell well, but it would be better for them to have the sequel on their home console too. Possibly with some interconnectivity like a new level or tournament or something for the DS version.

I wonder if it's possible to use the Wii (and it's (albeit limited) harddrive) to play DS games/new levels on the DS? Like the one gamepak multiplayer?
