Ubisoft’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist will be released in August on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and Wii U. According to Eurogamer, the “core version” of the game is being developed by Ubisoft Toronto, whereas the publisher’s Shanghai studio is handling the Wii U version. Ubisoft Shanghai is known for its involvement in the development of the Splinter Cell series. It made Pandora Tomorrow, helped with Double Agent, and it’s also working on the cooperative modes across all versions of Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
“What I like about what we’re doing with the Wii U is that Splinter Cell’s always about gadgets, and with the controller it’s a natural extension. It’s interesting on that side for sure, because we didn’t have to invent new ways of interacting with the game to support the hardware. It just makes sense.”
-Splinter Cell Blacklist creative director Maxime Beland

You’re not first until your name is called for a rectal examination… and your name is already called.
Speaking of the rectum, the dude in the image above looks like he’s taking it up the ass.
LOL oh shit I hope they change that cover pic b4 release lol!
lmfao
‘Natural’ and ‘makes sense’ seem to be quite common comments from developers who are actually giving Wii U a chance!
And i like it. Hope bethesda have the same wisdom whit fallout and the pipboy.
Awesome, it means it won’t be a crap port, but a optmized version. Looking forward to it.
I recon it could be good am not a massive splinter cell fan but really enjoyed double agent on GameCube.
Recon… Clever pun. Totally intentional, right?
Good that ubisoft is actually working to make games have good use of the gamepad
Who’s getting all of Ubisoft’s games this year? I’m just getting Rayman and Watch Dogs.
I’m just getting Watch Dogs.
I want those two, Blacklist and Just Dance 5.
I didn’t know you’re a fan of the Just Dance franchise, Alba?!
Could anyone tell that Mamma Jynx is a fan of te Just Dance franchise? I’m with you there Alba! I’ll be hookin myself up with some nasty bets to shake my bootayy with!! Oua Oua! Kisses! 💋
It’s fun with the family and I’m pretty good at it. :P
Rayman Legends , Watch dogs and AC4 (maybe) . for me. I might get Splinter cell if it turns out incredible. If not I’ll wait for it to fall in price.
I would get splintel cell before ac4.
It looks nice that’s for sure.
I’m buy it for my Wii U no doubt about it.
im looking forward to AC4 and Watch Dogs. Though i would like to see what sony and microsoft have to offer until i make my final decision about watch dogs specifically. If my budget can support it till then. splinter cell is sth i havent played,(well neither WD) but if it has a decent co-op or anything it might meet my needs!
Another day one purchase for me….. I am very excited for this game.
I was not interest in this game at first. But the more I learn about it the more I am
i havent played splinter cell in a long time. this sounds like it might get me back in the series.
Ubisoft is already getting some love for Nintendo’s HD console from minute one. The more we see their games on the U, the better we some of the more of the most unique, high quality games.
…the better we see some of the most unique, high quality games. *
Reblogged this on M2wa2 DigiTech..
is this a good or a bad thing for us WiiU owners ?
Very good.
It must be really hard for developers to build a game around the game pad… Something that really does revolutionizes the gaming experience such as the Wii mote yet developers are scared of it. EA being the scaredest of them all. I definatly will no longer support any EA developed game.
totally. like with dices excuse being that they didnt get promising results testing frostbite 3 on the wii u, even though they managed to get it working on consoles with 1/4 as much ram. i mean hell, cryteck got crysis 3 up and running on wii u, visceral got dead space 3 running on the system, and both were shafted by ea, so there is no real excuse besides ea being a cluster of anally clenched neckbeards.
The GamePad is not revolutionary. It is a gimmick and most developers do not care for it.
Ubisoft, WB Games, Capcom, and Nintendo beg to disagree with you, Neutrino. The Wii U Game Pad is a revolutionary controller.
nah man, the gimmick is the touchpad on the dualshock (:
A gimmick really? I can play Need for speed most wanted enhanced edition on my Wii U as my friends a and brothers watch sports on the HD television. A gimmick is a troll that is confused that he does not like nintendo but is on nintendo sites more than nintendo fans themselves lol.
You’re brothers? You are still a child who lives at home lol! Hahahaha! Go play your baby Nintendo games on the GimmickPad, kid.
*your
Get off the site asswipe! Dam troll. Undercover Nintendo lover… Youre just mad that your WIIU broke due to the KYJelly you left in the ports lol.
Can’t take the hate?
seriously? you assumed that because he sayed brother? have you ever thought that his bros are his roommates or they visit him alot? dont assume because it makes an ass out of you and only you.
Limp dick move as always. *yawn* You’re running out of ideas loser!
And you’re running out of years, old geezer.
Says the Nintendo hater who has the same IQ as Rip Van fucking Winkle!
remember the Boston marathon bombing, Neutrino?
Ur mother is a gimmick but doesn’t mean I love her any less. Xoxoxo
Yeah sure, it’s a gimmick. Does it mean it’s bad? No, of course not.
That’s exactly what they said about the Wii’s Controller and look how that turned out. Nintendo trounced 360/PS3 last gen war with 100+ unit sales and the other competition adapted their own motion controls (360’s Kinect and PS3’s Wii Remote ripoff with glowing balls) So tell me if this is a cheap gimmick that actually works or just an excuse to sell because to me, you’re being butthurt about Wii making PS3 look pathetic when it comes to gimmick controls.
It’s brilliant as there using wii u to it’s full potential ie gamepad features,that’s why some games not coming to wii u as there to lazy and don’t have imagination that comes with this great console.As for ubisoft games am buying blacklist,rayman and watch dogs,fantastic stuff ubisoft they really do respect the style of the wii u as gamepad features to me is pretty fantastic.Every single game that using gamepad to it’s full potential am having blast on.
It’s news but it isn’t anything good or bad. It’s just…news lol Kisses! 💋
Ubisoft Shanghai is actually a great developer. Maybe Wii U will get a decent port for a change lol.
if straight right can do it, so can ubisoft shanghai.
Shangai made chaos theory the best splintel cell ever.

Blacklist looks promising and I’ll be buying that with Watchdogs. My only prayer is for GTA5 to happen on Wii U and I’ll be one happy bastard.
I like that the Wii U version gets a whole studio because it’s unique.
