‘Splinter Cell: Blacklist’ Latest Trailer Shows Off Wii U Features [Video]

Splinter Cell: Blacklist‘s latest trailer shows off all the things you can do on the Wii U that you can’t do on any other console.

The game has had a couple of trailers release this month and while the first one showed off what Sam can do, this one shows off what the Wii U can do with the gamepad.

When the game is played on Nintendo’s newest console, the separate gamepad can be used much like Sam uses his OpSat in the story.

The game developers claim that when you are playing on the Wii U, you can use different weapons quickly and easily. The motion sensors built into the controller also allow you to activate the Killing in Motion function with ease.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist seems to be one of those games that could actually take off on Nintendo’s console in a way that it may not do on the Microsoft Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3.

Nintendo has been looking for a game that would truly set it apart from the other current generation consoles and this game might just give it the leg up its been looking for all along.

The console has been struggling mightily in almost all markets since it was released last Holiday season.

The gamepad will also allow you to track friends who are also playing the game, no matter where they are in the world without having to exit your game.

If you like to compete with your friends in real time, this function might be one that can rope people into the game on this particular system.

Ubisoft has been slowly rolling out different features, as we get closer and closer to the release date. Over the weekend the studio showed off the box art.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is expected to arrive on August 20 in the US and can be pre-ordered now.
