Update: Added in one more screenshot and boxart.
Nintendo and Ubisoft have shared the first screenshot of Splinter Cell: Blacklist on Wii U following the news that the game will indeed be released on the console. Take a look below:
We’ve known for some time that The Denpa Men 2 is set for an overseas release. Its launch on the North American and European 3DS eShops could be just on the horizon if a new rating from the OFLC is any indication.
The Australian ratings board added an entry for “The Denpa Men 2: Beyond the Waves”. So yep, the game has a quirky new subtitle and the rating is hopefully a sign that we’ll be seeing it soon on the eShop.
Nintendo just sent out a new press release highlighting upcoming third-party games for the Wii U. In a way, it’s just a bunch of fluff, but there are two important points included.
First, Splinter Cell: Blacklist has finally been confirmed for Wii U. The game will launch on the same day as the other console versions in both North America and Europe.
Rayman Legends’ new online challenge mode download has been reconfirmed, too, which offers four levels including “Murfy’s Dungeon”. Players can count on daily and weekly updates as well as leaderboards. This is planned for late April.
Look for the full PR below.
Square Enix registered a new trademark in Europe and also nabbed a domain name for something called “The Mad & The Monstrous”. Of course, no such title has been announced by the company thus far. Square Enix Japan is listed as the website’s holder for what it’s worth.
Following today’s announcement of Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, pre-orders have opened across all retailers. Notable outlets such as Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop are now taking reservations. Links to both Arkham Origins versions can be found below.
