Splinter Cell: Blacklist Wii U won't include offline co-op

Splinter Cell: Blacklist producer Liu Jun, has revealed that the Wii U version will not include an offline co-op mode.

Despite lacking offline co-op, Jun believes that "Nintendo gamers will be really excited to get the game at the same time as other consoles."
Jun goes on to say that the Wii U version is the only one that allows you to truly experience first-hand how OPSAT works for Sam. The GamePad acts as the player's version of Sam's OPSAT, allowing you to see "how it feels to actually operate it."
The Wii U version will receive all DLC that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions get, Jun also confirmed.
A video showing the first 15-minutes of Splinter Cell: Blacklist was released last week, ahead of the Splinter Cell: Blacklist release date of August 20 in North America, August 22 in EMEA territories and August 23 in the UK.
In our most recent Splinter Cell: Blacklist preview we said: "Some missions see you steadily creep through a darkened dock like old Sam, while some let you rampage through a Middle-Eastern village in broad daylight. Crucially, both Sam's feel true to Splinter Cell."
