liger05 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) http://nintendoeverything.com/111618/sniper-elite-v2-confirmed-for-wii-u/ Looks like this is the real deal. GameStop has pre-orders running online here. Amazon also has a product page running and includes a May 21 release date, which makes much more sense. Both retailers list a $49.99 price point. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A8305EA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00A8305EA&linkCode=as2&tag=nintendoeverything-20) Sniper Elite V2 has long been rumored for Wii U, but publisher 505 Games has never made any official announcements. But now it appears that the nearly year-old shooter will be coming to the console in just a few months. GameStop casually lists the Wii U version of Sniper Elite V2 in its weekly ad – boxart and all. Consumers can begin pre-ordering the title, which apparently releases on May 24. The only red flag I see is that May 24 is a Friday. In North America, games typically launch earlier in the week. Perhaps we’ll be hearing something official from 505 Games soon? Yikes at that $49.99 price. Edited February 8, 2013 by Retro_Link
darkjak Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Interresting. Pricey, old, yet interresting. Hope they implement some good use of the tablet. And preferably some extra graphical candy as well.
ReKonvicted Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Just what us Wii U owners need. A port of about a year old game......and a pretty poor game at that.
welsh_gamer Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 This is out Friday. Launch trailer :- Looks like they've put some effort into using the gamepad.
madeinbeats Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Game is really gruesome! Think Charlie Brooker is a fan of it.
Hogge Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Looks interresting. I might potentially buy this. Reminds me of Hitman 2 and Goldeneye
madeinbeats Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Stand back, stand back. Nintendo just unleashed their secret weapon to overshadow the X1 reveal. Behold, the new Wii U Sniper Elite trailer. Not the same trailer, not the same footage, bitches. (it actually is, just slighly higher quality on HD.) Textures look quite high res, maybe PC textures again? Edited May 21, 2013 by madeinbeats
Londragon Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Reduced to 25.98 at The Hut already. Is that an indication of its quality and lack of online modes. I heard the use of the sniper rifle is very good, but the other shooting elements are pants.
welsh_gamer Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 I paid around £18 for it at WOW HD UK, but it's gone up a bit there now to £21.59 As I said on Miiverse, the sniping is good mindless fun, but you're right about the other guns, they don't control that well at times, but if you try and be as stealthy as possible in missions, you can avoid using them. It's ridiculous that the online and mulitplayer features have been excluded, and the game plays and feels more like an early PS360 than a 2012/13 title, but if you enjoy a WW2 setting, sniping and just want a cheap thrill for a weekend you could do a lot worse.
