Splinter Cell: Blacklist has special Wii U GamePad features and these have just been detailed by a retailer, highlighting the many ways in which the game will make use of the GamePad's touchscreen and motion sensors.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is the next installment in the long running stealth series, and developer Ubisoft plans to bring the game onto the Nintendo Wii U platform.

We saw a few screenshots of the game running on the console but now retailer Amazon has posted a description of the game's GamePad features, so check them out below.

"Splinter Cell Blacklist offers enhanced gameplay options on the Wii U. The Gamepad mimics Sam's OpSat, allowing the player to operate gadgets such as tri-rotor drones, sticky cam and much more through touch and motion based inputs."

"The Wii U GamePad allows for faster reaction times, letting the player mark and execute enemies, switch weapons and choose gadgets to adapt to any situation. Track your friends' missions and see what Splinter Cell Blacklist players are doing worldwide through the GamePad."

Splinter Cell: Blacklist is out in August for PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U.
