Is it just me or does the AC3 logo on the spine of the wii U case look like it is a stoker?

Actually, I think that may be a symbol like the symbols on the 3DS game spines.

That's really cool they're putting the icons on the spine, like with 3ds cases.

Looks like AC3 supports pro-controller for those who don't want to use the pad

I agree it looks really cool putting the logos on the side like the 3DS game cases :)

The boxes aren't actually that light blue color?!?? Ugh. :(

@Veitch11 yeah, are they really not going to be blue? What fools we were.

Yeah it looks like only the part with the Wii U logo will be blue, while the rest of the box is still white like Wii boxes. Eh, I was hoping for blue so they wouldn't blend in with my Wii games, but hey I look at the spine's most often anyway (Xbox 360 boxes might as well be white since I hardly look at the green spots).

I wonder if logging into Uplay in the Wii U version of ACIII will unlock anything special.

bear in mind that it is possible that these boxes are just placeholders (the sleeve looks real though). We can't really be sure either way yet

"Assassin's Creed III's NiN info"

Nine Inch Nails has music in Assassin's Creed? lol, first thing I thought when I saw that. Also no blue cases? I am dissapoint... I may just by my own and swap them.

Wait, that doesn't make sense because it's the cover that's blue not the case. Balls, it's gonna look the same.

The real cases are blue, these are placeholders as far as we know.

From source: "Remember, these are display ones, the cases were white but inside had the Wii logo, so naturally that was EB's doing."

Oh thank goodness, I was about to go "hulk smash" on my street. Looking forward to those blue cases! :D

I agree. I highly doubt that a place like GameStop would stock special blue cases to use for Wii U games. They probably have a stockpile of empty DVD cases that they use as placeholders, which is what the case is here. If Nintendo is smart enough to make 3DS cases white to set them apart from black DS cases, they'll be smart enough to use a different color from the Wii.

Yeah, I agree with other people on here that these are probably just placeholder boxes.
User avatar

Oh yes, I didn't think these were just placeholders. Makes sense, hope the final boxes really are blue then.

The back of the ZombiU case shows support for Wii remote and nunchuk. Think this was already confirmed for the multiplayer mode. Wonder how in-depth the options are. Will classic controller be supported? I saw in interviews it will be for Tekken and Sonic racing.

The boxes don't matter guys, it's the sleeves that have to be blue since it covers most of the case anyway. The only thing that isn't covered are the outside edges.
