As expected, 505 Games has made Sniper Elite V2 on Wii U official.

The Rebellion-developed WW2 stealth shooter said the Wii U's GamePad enables "even greater tactical depth and flexibility".

"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," reads the official blurb.

Rebellion boss Jason Kingsley said: "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."

Sniper Elite V2 is out on Wii U in spring 2013.
