Splinter Cell: Blacklist launched last month in the US. Having been on the market for about a week, the game did fairly well - just not on Wii U.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has been out of action for a decade, so it's time to look back at 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years
The entire mark and execute system belonged in another game.
It’s cool, but the polar opposite to how Sam Fisher initially handled.
The original trilogy made shooting very, very difficult, yet a viable option, which ultimately motivates stealth.
The mark/execute system makes shooting stupid easy, to the point of why would you even bother trying stealth as an alternative?
The sad part is that I actually really enjoyed the last game, Blacklist. It may have lacked the iconic voice but the gameplay was excellent, and blended stealth, action and a mix really great compared to most games, where none of the three options felt like the wrong way to play. I really hope they either produce a remake of the original game or a proper sequel.
The stealth icon has gone too stealthy of late, but the best Splinter Cell games still rank among the best games ever made.

No it has nothing to do with all those game delays, we’ll talk about that later. What? No it’s not about the Skulls & Bones and Beyond Good & Evil 2 falling off the face of the Earth, just listen. We need to talk about Splinter Cell. Don’t give me that look, you know this conversation needs to happen. The way you’ve treated the series, its fans and poor Sam Fisher himself is sad, infuriating and just plain disappointing and it needs to stop."
The Fish!!!
I'd love to see a remastered edition of those games as well as something new. It's about time.
I would love a new splinter cell, maybe even a reboot at this point. Sam Fisher deserves it
I think reboot the entire franchise the games were great but every time they try to make him human like a father or something it comes of as unbelievable
They added damn near every SC game to Xbox1X back compat enahnced list. That is a lot of Sam enhanced and I am loving it, but Sam deserves a new next gen game.
some fans will say the wii u is doing well and scream at anyone that says otherwise
nintendo likely is done after this with home consoles. They are a relic. They way they do business is too 20th century, and they still treat it like a toy, even though the majority of gamers are in late teens or adults.
Sad to see them in this state, but that seems to be the way of Japanese game companies, them capcom square enix. They are all behind the times and their businesses are suffering because of it.
Thank god sony has a good head on it's shoulders and is really pushing things in the right direction.
If this is true & the trend continues, I see even Ubisoft stopping most WiiU multiplatform development. Nintendo needs to give the system a significant price reduction before Xmas.
I could have told you that
Well Rayman has sold best on wiiu....
