What was the name of the first Assassin's Creed game released for the Nintendo DS?

The story behind the answer

The first Assassin's Creed game released for the Nintendo DS was Assassin's Creed: Altaïr's Chronicles.

Gameloft developed Altaïr's Chronicles as a prequel to the original Assassin's Creed. It was released in 2008 for Nintendo DS and follows Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad before the events of the 2007 console game. Its story takes place during the Third Crusade and introduces a separate adventure involving the search for the Chalice.

The DS version uses side-scrolling action and platforming rather than reproducing the original game's large 3D cities. Its controls, structure, and presentation were adapted to the handheld system.

Assassin's Creed II: Discovery came later for Nintendo DS and iOS, while Bloodlines was developed for PlayStation Portable. Rebellion is a later mobile strategy game, so none of those titles was the first Nintendo DS release.
