Wii U

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be releasing LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes on Wii U nearly a year after its initial release. The company announced today that it will be bringing the game to Nintendo’s console this spring.

LEGO Batman 2 will offer new GamePad features on Wii U. The entire title can be experienced on the controller through off-TV play, and a second player will be able to join in on the fun for co-op gameplay without having to share the television. Warner Bros. has also confirmed that players “will navigate through Gotham City using an enhanced interactive map and select their favorite DC Comics characters to assemble a powerful team of heroes, all with the use of the controller’s touchscreen.”

Splinter Cell: Blacklist appears to be heading to Wii U. A listing on the LinkedIn profile of a line designer indicates that Ubisoft will be bringing the game to Nintendo’s console.

Take a look below for a snapshot of the Blacklist entry:


Prior to Blacklist’s unveiling, the game was rumored to be coming to Wii U. Ubisoft’s official announcement seemed to debunk the speculation, but the company has already proven willing to confirm a Wii U version of its projects long after they’ve been revealed (like Watch Dogs).

The Wii U isn’t Watch Dogs’ lead SKU, but that doesn’t mean it’ll be a lesser experience on Nintendo’s console. According to senior producer Dominic Guay, all versions will feature the same kinds of social features.

“So the connectivity between players with mobile devices, the way you can control the city, the immersion, all those are core and on any platforms we’re going to ship on we’re going to make sure we nail those pillars down.”

Watch Dogs is “already running” on Wii U, thanks to the porting work of Ubisoft Bucharest (Romania). The team previously developed the PC version of Assassin’s Creed III and helped out on Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.

As of now, the team is thinking about how the GamePad can best be implemented into the experience.

“We’re still investigating how we’ll use the tablet on the Wii U, but with the things I mentioned before, for us it’s not going to be a weird stretch. It’s natural. What’s really cool with Watch Dogs, when we start thinking of those devices, it’s not a weird abstraction, it’s not like I’m a space alien and now I’m using a tablet. Why am I doing that? Aiden Pearce is using a device to control the city, so it’s quite easy to imagine what we could do with that.”
