listen to the mad man
Advanced Warfighter seems pretty likely to get a Wii U release. What I would more wonder about would be next year's and the year's after, especially if Activision pulls an Ubisoft and does a "last-gen" CoD and a "next-gen" CoD.
They're already doing it with High Moon Studios working on PS3/360 ports and Sledgehammer working on the PC/XB1/PS4 ports.
Edit: I see you mean 'different' games.
That I don't know, but considering Treyarch is most likely making the next CoD, I think the Wii U version is probably safe for 2015.
2016 is probably sacked though.
By 2016 Nintendo is likely thinking new console anyway.
umm all the WiiU COD games have been great ports

I'm not sure how one derives the latter from the former.
That's good, is incorrect to assume the Nintendo owners are against COD fun. It was popular on Wii and they got this
As someone who played World at War, Modern Warfare Reflex Edition, Black Ops and Modern Warfare 3 all on the Wii I can say the ports were always really well done and a lot of fun. World at War especially really pushed the system and I put about 100 hours into the multi.
Modern Warfare 2 I ended up playing on PC. Really well optimized and one of the best in the series. I also ended up playing CoD 2 and MW on the PC as well. Haven't played 1 or 3.
I have both Ghosts and Black Ops 2 on WiiU and would definitely buy Advanced Warfare for the system.
The one CoD studio that has the working Nintendo team is already there. Its probably easier to convince their bosses to greenlight that version and get it working when its their own game.
Treyarch has ported or made all 7 of the Wii/WiiU CoD's since the Wii's launch.

The decisions don't, afaik, ultimately lay with Treyarch regardless of their fondness and experience with Nintendo's platforms. For more COD to appear on the platform, more COD needs to sell on the platform.

Activision pretended the WiiU edition of Ghost didn't exist for the longest time, still launched at the same time as the other versions. Probably be the same deal for this one.

Well obviously yeah this is common sense.
Since they're still coming then it might be a case of more CODs coming to Wii U only means COD needs to continue it's current sales level. We just don't know, perhaps ~200k or whatever is all Activision really needs.

Treyarch also did Big Red One on GC, PS2, and Xbox, which I think was their first ever COD.
I get confused whether Exakt Entertainment is part of Treyarch or not, since they did the Wii versions of COD3 and W@W. They also preceded Treyarch themselves with COD Finest Hour on GC, a port of the PS2 and Xbox game by Spark Unlimited (Spark existed in 2004?).
Edit: Technically COD: United Offensive is Treyarch's first, but that was an expansion of the original CPD.

I actually prefer the online community for COD on Wii U. Far fewer kids screaming obscenities into the mic.
Seemingly a playerbase that skews a bit older from the games I've gotten in to. (Also a pretty size able Japanese community.)

Indeed. I'd even go as far as saying the Wii ports were pretty good considering what is actually going on in the game. Treyarch did a damn good job with them. Treyarch has a team that knows Nintendo hardware pretty damn well, from the GameCube days to now.
Edit: As for the new game I'm not counting on it. If it happens it happens and I'll buy it. I love pointer controls for FPS. However I'm not going to be looking forward to a Wii U version all the same. That way I won't be disappointed when it doesn't show up.

By that type of logic, people expected Ghosts to exceed BO2 in population. Didn't really pan out that way. Though Ghosts was an inferior game in several important ways, so who knows.
True, though if Treyarch says "we can absorb the Wii U version pretty insignificant cost/overhead" they may get the go ahead.
Yeah, the base does seem to skew older on Wii U oddly (anecdotally at least). Definitely a better experience than I've had on live or PSN (limited as those experiences may be).
Aaaand I guess we're done here (for now). Though I think the same thing happened last year... the E3 site opened with Wii U listed, somebody called attention to it, then it got removed (could be thinking of another game though; but I think it was Ghosts). Possibly had to remove it because it's not "officially announced" yet.
I guess the jury is still out, and probably will be until at least July, maybe later. If they're asked about it at E3 I expect the usual evasive nonsense.
Ghosts sold worse across the board than BO2 because it's a bad game. And no Wii U game released in 2013 was anywhere near MK8 or Smash Bros tier.

I don't disagree. Regardless I hope this comes to Wii U, because if nothing else, I don't want to see the pointer controlled FPS subgenre completely die quite yet.
It's ONLY Treyarch that have ever done the Nintendo versions of COD games as far as I know - they have a dedicated Nintendo team https://twitter.com/A_Trey_U/status/397898002133577728 . Ever since MW. The only one since then that wasn't ported is MW2.
As usual, pointer controls = Wii U version for me.

They did confirm wii remote support for Ghosts right after the game's Wii U existence was confirmed. But not much else.

I never understood what the deal with that was. And if they do it again: why? Who does that benefit?

New find on the official website (who knows how long the reference has actually been there), for whatever it's worth:

Note that this is separate from the logo asset found months ago.

I really don't understand how these late stealth announcements benefit anyone at all. How many sales would they really poach from the other versions if they gave Wii U equal billing (or at least a damn mention or bullet point on a slide). And even if it did poach a few, they still get their money. And that's before even considering the (admittedly small) number of extra sales they'd gain from those who wouldn't buy any other version if they didn't pretend it doesn't exist.
Ahhhh, I REALLY hope this comes to Wii U. The campaign trailer of yesterday was really good :c
More like Late September/October where all the other ones were revealed
They know that Wii U guys aren't going to get the best experience due to few updates and no new content, so why even bother promoting it? Seems like a waste of time considering they never TRY to serve the Nintendo crowd the same way they serve everyone else.

Ghosts was announced via Nintendo's twitter July 25th 2013. So who knows.
Not just lack of promotion... I mean not even acknowledging it's existence... who could that possibly benefit.
I seem to remember Ghosts was revealed soon after it, yeah, though it wasn't related. It was in a PR about several Wii U games coming soon.
I guess it'll be the same this year.

I didn't see it mentioned, but the E3 Insider mention in the OP was actually a mistake by Ryan Scott. He mentioned it on an episode of The Geek Box back around e3.
Ryan heads up E3 Insider and said that he was doing a copy and paste from last year's listing and made a mistake.

Not really. The porting budget has to be worth how many sales they think they'll make on it, with a large margin of safety.
