Assassin's Creed DS?

via kotaku

So I was at my old GameStop on Saturday, catching up with the news and trying to see if my former assistant manager's mom was still single, when one of the employees mentioned Assassin's Creed for the Nintendo DS. The DS? I had not heard of such an animal, but they showed me in their computer - Assassin's Creed Nintendo DS, SKU number 180408, with an expected ship date of the 26th of September. Retailing for $29.99, the game is, like everything at GameStop, available for preorder. It isn't on their website, but give your nearest store a call.

While I was pondering this over the weekend, a Kotakuite named Eric sent us a link to GameFly, who has the game listed for pre-rental. A coincidence? A conspiracy? Wishful thinking?

We'll be following up on this with Ubisoft later today. In the meantime, I'm sure GameStop won't mind you dropping $5 on the title, whether or not it actually exists.
