Hey all.

So, purchased my Wii U, and had Assassins Creed 3 delivered through a rental service. Now, I have Uplay, and my Wii U is fully updated and connected to the internet. However, when I go to the online multiplayer portion of AC3 it loads for a while, and then says "Ubisoft Services are not available" with some other text explaining I will be taken to the menu and placed in 'LIMITED MODE'.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Read online that it is either because your console is not connected to the Internet, or do not have Uplay linked to your account and console. I have both, so wondered if the Ubi servers may be down, but have seen people on the MiiVerse saying they are playing online :S

Any help would be appreciated.
