This week, 505 Games has announced that their latest Sniper Elite V2 game will officially be landing on Nintendo’s Wii U games console later this spring.
Sniper Elite V2 was launched last year on PC, PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360, and is a tactical shooter video game developed by Rebellion Developments.
Enhanced Gameplay with Wii U Pad Controller
Within Sniper Elite V2 for Wii U, players will be able to use the Wii U pad controller to help them with missions and view maps, among other functionalities. The Wii U pad controller offers a unique gameplay experience by integrating touch screen capabilities that enhance the tactical elements of the game. Rebellion boss Jason Kingsley explained:
“Sniper Elite is just the kind of mature game that is perfect for the different mechanics of the Wii U. It’s been a challenge to get it right, but thanks to our team and the fantastic support of our partners at 505 Games, we believe we’ve brought the unique gameplay to a whole new platform.”
The Wii U pad controller allows players to tag enemies and booby-traps, track enemy locations and activity, and even monitor the blast radius of planted explosives. This can all be done with a glance at the touch screen, ensuring that players do not have to leave the battlefield for even a second. This seamless integration of the Wii U pad controller into the gameplay mechanics provides a more immersive and strategic experience for players.
Unique Features and Strategic Depth
Sniper Elite V2 is renowned for its realistic sniping mechanics and strategic depth. The game places a strong emphasis on stealth and precision, requiring players to carefully plan their shots and movements. The addition of the Wii U pad controller further enhances these aspects by providing players with real-time information and control at their fingertips.
For example, players can use the touch screen to set up and monitor traps, ensuring that they can effectively control the battlefield. The ability to tag enemies and track their movements in real-time allows for more strategic planning and execution of missions. Additionally, the touch screen can be used to view detailed maps and objectives, providing players with a comprehensive overview of their surroundings.
The Wii U version of Sniper Elite V2 also includes all the content from the original release, ensuring that players have access to the full range of missions and challenges. This includes the iconic “Kill Hitler” mission, which tasks players with assassinating the infamous dictator. The inclusion of this mission, along with the enhanced gameplay features of the Wii U pad controller, makes Sniper Elite V2 a must-play for fans of tactical shooters.
“Tag enemies and booby-traps, track enemy locations and activity, even monitor the blast radius of planted explosives – all with a glance at the touch screen and without leaving the battlefield for even a second,” added Kingsley.
The release of Sniper Elite V2 on the Wii U brings a new level of strategic depth and immersion to the game. The integration of the Wii U pad controller provides players with a unique and enhanced gameplay experience, making it a perfect fit for the tactical shooter genre. With its realistic sniping mechanics, strategic gameplay, and additional content, Sniper Elite V2 on the Wii U is set to be a standout title for the console.
