Wii-U version of Splinter Cell Blacklist won't have offline-co-op feature.

On whether offline co-op is supported

In order to ship at the same time as the other consoles, we unfortunately werent able to delve into this feature. But we think Nintendo gamers will be really excited to get the game at the same time as other consoles.

Definitive version confirmed.

Seems they don't think that the wii-u is important enough to deliver full games :lol:

Sucks, but least the co-op is still there via online, unlike say Arkham Origins.

OP here is the updated link.

Also, while it won't have offline co-op, the Wii U version is the only one to have gamepad integration and Off-TV play.

From the interview in link:

NL: Weve seen details of various Wii U-specific features utilising the GamePad, can you outline the key examples for us?

LJ: The GamePad screen is your version of Sams arm computer or OPSAT (OPerational SATellite uplink). Sam uses his OPSAT a lot throughout the game to access and control his gadgets and to communicate with his team. The Wii U is the only version of the game where you really get to experience first-hand how OPSAT works for Sam and how it feels to actually operate it: you can see through Sams eyes and its a very powerful feeling to choose how to use this gadget to make decisions as the leader of 4th Echelon.

NL: Is Off-TV play supported?

LJ: Yes, Off TV play is fully supported for everything, except offline coop play.

Was mildly interestd.....now not at all. Serously, devs cant cut features and expect the game to sell. When it performs like shit (sales wise) dont blame us, blame the fact we would rather buy it for all the features and play it on a console most of us alredy own.

Wasn't the "dual screens" co-op supposed to be a big selling point of the WIi-U?2Chalupas

It's true that they all have atleast one, but not all of them have both.  Lego CIty Undercover doesn't have off-tv play and MH3 just recently got patched for off-tv play.  But still, these are features that PS3 and 360 don't have...

Maybe it'll get patched in later. At least it's got everything else.

Poor sheep. No games and inferior multiplats. :(

Dude, even the GameCube version of Chaos Theory had local co-op. What the hell?nintendoboy16

I really don't understand why anyone, besides hardcore nintendo fans, even give Wii U the time of day. The thing has been a failure since day 1 it seems. Nintendo is looking like Sega right before the PS2 and Xbox original is about to come out.

No one is gonna buy it for the Wii U anyways but Ubisoft is not helping the Wii U out doing this. At this point I don't know why they will bother putting it on the Wii U anyways.

I didn't even know it had offline co-op on any version. Oh well, getting PC version first like always. (Will that have offline co-op? PC tends to get shafted on that feature.)

People are still stupid enough to think this, rofl.

While sure this is a shame I guess, personally I don't care about offline co-op for this kind of game. 

It's not a feature I don't think I would ever use, and conversly I'm willing to bet that neither would almost every other person in here (including you TC) who is complaining about it. It's pitiful and embarrassing to see so many gamers go out of their way to find complaints about things in gaming that they don't like. Instead of making threads about the things you (gasp!)...LIKE...You waste countless threads talking about the things you don't like. Trying to...hell I don't know..."recruit" people to your side? Which might I remind you is the side of negativity. That's a shitty side to be a part of.

Okay, back on topic after my impromptu /rant: While it would be nice to have this feature as it exists in other versions and obviously some people would inevitibly use it, I'm going to agree with what some other people in here have been saying. The addition and use of the gamepad functionality and Miiverse integration for me more than makes up for the lack of a mode I and likely most gamers would not use very often. The user-to-game interface experience to me is vastly more valuable than almost anything else in a lot of games. So that's why the Wii U version will be the one I get over other consoles (including the final two next gen systems when they release). I haven't been excited about a Splinter Cell game since Chaos Theory so I'm really hoping this delivers!

What the Hell...It's as if some developers are trying to fuvk the Wii-U. :?

apparently this is so the Game could be shipped on time with the other Versions.

WiiU 3rd party developers under staffed confirmed?

Incomplete games don't and should never warrant full prices.
