Rumor: Assassin's Creed coming to the DS?

By way of Go Nintendo, who heard it from Kotaku (purple monkey dishwasher anyone?), a port of Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed is heading to Nintendo's dual-screened platform. Considering that Tecmo is bringing Ninja Gaiden to the console, we can't say we're surprised to hear the news. Also, considering Ubisoft's massive Nintendo love as of late, the added support from them lends a bit more credibility to the rumor.

Of course, the question is will it be as good as, or even due justice to, the console version of the game? With a new-gen title such as this, with the crazy good graphics and all, can a port to the DS be all that financially viable for Ubisoft? Sure, just about everyone and their grandmother owns a DS, but will gamers be interested in Assassin's Creed on the handheld? Are you interested in it?
