They just might give Nintendo the whole franchise now. We have some interesting new rumors about Assassin’s Creed appearing on Nintendo platforms. When Assassin’s Creed first came on the scene in 2007, it became a hit on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows, but not on Nintendo. Ubisoft was one of the rare loyal 3rd party studios for Nintendo, but they couldn’t quite bring the exploits of the Assassin’s and Templars to Nintendo’s platform, at least not at the same scale as other platforms.

As he was sitting next to a fellow passenger, he noticed that she was reading a book written by him - without having any idea of his identity. In disbelief, Fasano took to Twitter to document the momentous occasion and ponder what to do. The American author had a stroke of luck when he randomly found himself sitting next to a woman reading his latest book, titled "The Swallows of Lunetoo." Fasano posted a photo of the book on Twitter and asked his followers what he should do next. He received an avalanche of responses, with one follower suggesting he should whisper, "Is it better than the last one?" in the woman's ear.
