Ubisoft has confirmed today that the seventh installment into the Tom Clancy series Splinter Cell will be coming to the WiiU this August. Splinter Cell: Blacklist will be appearing on Nintendo’s console the same dates as the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions. These dates are 20th August in the US, 22nd in Europe and 23rd in the UK. Quite a weirdly staggered release, but not far enough apart to complain about.

The WiiU version will come with WiiU gamepad unique features, including by this point the obligatory inventory management option. Have a look in these pictures to get an idea:
