I hope so. If not, no shiny pre-order medal will make up for that.

Yeah, there's no online at all. The port seems to have gone entirely into getting the game running and adding gamepad features. It's a bummer, but what's there is done well. I think I'd be more disappointed if it had all the modes and played like ass.
Considering we already know neither Co-op nor competitive multiplayer will be present in the Wii U version: There are no other modes aside of singleplayer that could be added to the menu, it is the sole mode supported by this port.
If it isn't this, I think we should do a #Don'ttreatWiiUversionsbad
This isn't just about Wii U, but publishers thinking they can take advantage of Nintendo fans.
Sony and Microsoft fans wouldn't deal with this so why does Nintendo fans have too?
Wait. Big, multi-national company? Rebellion? Really?

Hey - you bought 2000AD and let the staff there get on and make it a bloody excellent comic again, so you guys did something very right
I got it at Newegg for 29.99 (after using 2 $10 gift cards)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16878708049&Tpk=sniper wii u&IsVirtualParent=1
Out of stock now but it was $49.99 at regular price
Fun game but yea...60$ no.
I paid 10 or 15 on steam...why would i buy it again.
So stupid.
People who knows its old wont buy for 60 , others already own it , yet they will blame the wii u and poor sales and make no other games.
Charge 30 for it and itll do well , full price forget it.

No other modes. It's just single player with gamepad enhancements. I got it with someone else's money, but otherwise wait for a fire sale.

I just saw the post mentioning the online stuff. Well, so much for that. Full price for much less content.
Yeah, if I'm still on the mood I'll maybe do the same. It's a shame as I was planning to buy it new but now I'll wait for a cheap used copy.
Yes gaf, a USED copy.
Don't buy this shit, they'll get the picture. I don't think anyone even bought this trash game on those consoles either tbh
Welp, didn't know this. That sucks.

The game's hardly trash, not in the slightest. A disappointing stealth game admittedly but a fun action sniper game.
Yeah it is, set in Africa and more open world.
"The Wii U version of our critically acclaimed title Sniper Elite V2 did not meet our sales expectations, so we will no longer pursue the Wii U as a platform for our games."
Every. Time.
The problem I have is why do Nintendo fans have to deal with this? that whole PS vs DRM on Twitter is not a bad idea, and maybe we should do this for Wii U with third party games, I want the same version as the other guys are getting. And before people say "Nintendo consoles are for Nintendo games" It doesn't matter if that's how you feel, this is about Nintendo fans getting treated like aliens.
I know I sound stupid suggesting a #SupportWiiUbetterthirdparties campaign but I'm a gamer and I want to play games where I don't gave to buy 3 different systems to do it.

Are you being legit or just being sarcastic?
Plenty of garbage games that don't sell get sequels. We're on like Killzone 5 after all.

The same version would have been preferable, but I'm glad they got what was there right instead of having all the modes and a shitty framerate or something.
I don't know why the modes aren't there. Ask 505 games. They may answer on Twitter, they reply quite a bit to people.
While Killzone may not be the most inspiring of series, at least its story is a bit more thoughtful than most shooter's (although, to be quite frank, still very generic). The fact that it is beautiful while still being competent in the shooting department is enough for me. They do sell okay, just not on blockbuster level.
Sniper Elite V2 isn't the worst of games either, just not something I would recommend for pickup. We're certain to see Sniper Elite 3 on PS4, so it can't have sold all that terrible in relation to their expectations and needs.
If I asked them on Twitter my tweet would be "Is the modes coming later on? Or are we supposed to be happy about paying $60 for a gimped version?"

Are you shitting me? Does anybody have the game yet to 100% verify?
I see. Well then...

The problem with this is, when PS360 versions of games don't sell, the developers may actually see it as their own fault, and try to put forth a better offering next.
With Wii/U versions of games, it's ALWAYS the Nintendo fan base's fault. Always. smh

What's there isn't bad at all. The lack of modes is obviously disappointing.

Off topic, but whatever happened with that anyway? I could have sworn Deus Ex had a release date in June when I pre-ordered it, but now it's just showing up as 'TBA' everywhere.

There was an article about this on Nintendolife a few days ago. Supposedly the first people to get it were up in arms on Miiverse about them stripping all the online content.
Tbf this is one game I was intending to pick up just for the hell of it. Not going to bother now if this is the case.

I was somewhat interested, sadly, after all the lack of modes I am not anymore. Maybe very cheap.
So, ok, for some reason they can't release those modes, so the obvious compromise would be the price. If released at $40 that may make up for the lack of modes. Otherwise GTFO.

Glad I didn't pull the trigger on this. Good lord, that's garbage. Might as well put a giant sticker on the front of the box that says DON'T BUY THIS EDITION.
