Probably not thread-worthy, but I couldn't find anywhere else to put it. Was in my local GameStop here in Dublin and noticed this on the shelf amongst the other Wii U pre-orders:

Of course, this could very well just be a mistake on GameStop's part, but given Ubisoft's support for the system, it wouldn't exactly be very surprising to see the game come to the system.

Edit: And of course, the image doesn't work. I'm on my iPad, I'll have it working in a sec.

Edit 2: Not used to using dropbox for this kind of thing. Link works, embedding the image doesn't.

Edit 3: Thanks to Desmond for the re-host!

I thought this was already confirmed to come to the system?

it was a rumor started by hiphopgamer i think

[Desmond]

Seo é. :)

edit: there we go.

A few rumours and one or two retailer listings a few months back, but nothing official.

Could also be :)

Here's the vid if anyone wants to see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...M4miqaI#t=358s

[Zarovitch]

Nice if it true.
But i little sad that the game seem more action than stealth.

[Aostia]

Another "NfS" hint to the release of this game for the Wii U.
Let's wait and see...

[Thraktor]

Seo é. :) edit: there we go.

Go raibh maith agat.

If true, spies vs. mercs local multiplayer please! Two mercs splitscreen on the TV, one spy on the Gamepad. Would be double awesome if this somehow had two Gamerpad support as well, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Tenki]

Great news.

It does seem perfectly suited to the gamepad. Hell, I wouldn't even mind if they absolutely butchered the graphics to get 2 spies on gamepads vs 4 mercs on the TV. I don't expect Nintendo to start selling gamepads separately until late next year, though (to co-incide with Madden '14), and even then I can't see them putting the necessary resources into supporting a feature only a few percent of players would use.

[Quentyn]

Ubisoft declined to comment on the matter when questioned by Eurogamer this afternoon.

Not surprising

It´s Ubisoft, they port everything.

[Amir0x]

frankly with the state of the Splinter Cell franchise, Wii U owners might have counted themselves lucky that their system wasn't blighted by it

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I'm holding out for Chaos Theory on WiiU. DS and 3DS both got it, so why the hell not!

[Hot Coldman]

But I wanted to KILL IN MOTION on the gamepad :(((

Ubisoft - mar sin ni haon ionadh e.

[schuelma]

Yeah this one has been leaked by a lot of retailers.

Guess we'll see if the other stuff he said about it is true then.

(he also said Revengeance is coming in a more recent video, really hoping he's right about that one)

[11redder]

I was surprised that this wasn't announced at E3. Let's see how they use the Gamepad and if it's releasing at the same time as the other consoles. That will decide where do I buy this game.

[jaypah]

Scream into the microphone to alert guard then tap on his face for extreme headshot!

[Gianni Merryman]

Maybe you're mistaking it with Ghost recon, that was also showed as a playable demo at E3 2011.

[Dabanton]

As someone said it's Ubisoft if you're launching a console they'll be there with as many games as they have to sell you.

What will be interesting is seeing what they do with the gamepad. I still hold that after the initial launch buzz and a few good ideas of how to use the screen imaginatively. Most third parties will revert to just using it as a map and item screen.

[jerd21]

How's the Splinter Cell franchise doing these days? I haven't even played one this gen.

[Oddduck]

It´s Ubisoft, they port everything.

Pretty much this lol.

[Dabanton]

I've found them enjoyable.

I know people shit on Conviction and the SP deserves it. But the co-op and deniable ops modes were pure old school SC to me.

With the added bonus of better controls.

[Firest0rm]

FutureShop and BestBuy in Canada has had it listed for a while

[kitsuneyo]

Ubi loves WiiU. Hope the game turns out good.

Seems like a really sneaky game Nintendo is playing with these titles just showing up at stores long before they are confirmed to be coming

Black Ops II

Need For Speed Most Wanted

now this?

This encourages port begging of any title you don't see a Wii U logo on which around here will be hazardous, not without some announcements to allow it.

That just links to CVG which links back here. That said, both IGN and Eurogamer got "No comment" from Ubisoft, which I'd take to mean a Wii U version is actually planned.

[GDGF]

Now all we need is Tomb Raider or Sleeping Dogs and all the rumored Wii U games will have proven true.

(if this is real that is)

[Neo C.]

Can someone explain me the logic of sneaking games into launch? I understand why publishers push some titles more than others, but the "no advertisement at all" approach is kinda strange.

Splinter Cell won't be a launch game (it's due in spring). The only launch window game they've "snuck in" is Black Ops 2, but that was announced about two months or so before launch.

[jmizzal]

I remember it being in some list of games in one of these threads on here after E3.

It was one of the games on the leaked Blockbuster list

Which also had Zombie Game before we knew ZombiU was coming and it had Marvel game before we knew Avengers Battle for Earth was coming to WiiU.

So its pretty much coming

Now we need GTAV which is a Spring game so it could be announced late too

[schuelma]

GTA is not coming.

[Hoodbury]

It´s Ubisoft, they port everything.

Haven't seen or heard of any FarCry 3 leaks yet.

[Oersted]

I guess the official reveal is tomorrow or in 5 days.

[Mael]

GTA is not coming.

Word from god or wishful thinking?
I don't care after GTAIV I won't touch V with a 10 feet pole

[schuelma]

I guess the official reveal is tomorrow or in 5 days.

?

[Oersted]

?

Constant official reveal of a game for Nintendo consoles rumors for these two days plus this leak from the king of leaks, made me jump to this educated guess. It fits but doesn´t have to.

[gamergirly]

Lol, if not online, you can go into stores for confirmation of your favorite games :P

[diamount]

It would make sense for Ubisoft to do this.

[Syphon Filter]

why do people get so happy over 3rd part ports?

[PhantomR]

Excellent news :)


Watch Dogs! Make it happen Ubi
