Call of Duty: Ghosts FINALLY confirmed for Wii U

[Hero of Legend]

http://www.charlieintel.com/2013/06/11/mark-rubin-confirms-wii-u-version-of-ghosts-in-development/

I knew it, too much evidence to not be so.

UPDATE: Few updates from Mark Rubin on GameSpot live stream on Wii U: They don’t want to talk about it yet because they “want to be mysterious” and PR won’t let him; probably not launching November 5th. Will launch when next-gen versions launch.

 

[Kazerei]

I'll buy it!

 

[Yagharek]

Fish AI included?

 

[Dead Prince]

outsourced?

 

[soxinthebox]

#gamechanger

 

[Crawl]

Why is activision being so fucking weird about it? I dont get it.

 

[Aristion]

It was odd that Reggie would imply that Ghosts would not be coming for the Wii U during his interview with Geoff Keighley.

 

[Frolow]

Don't understand why they didn't announce it alongside the other versions.

 

[lazybones18]

Exclusive Nintendogs content or no sale

 

[OminoMichelin]

No #fishAI no buy.

 

[hatchx]

Day 1 for me! COD with the gamepad is fantastic! My most played WiiU game yet.

 

[Lenardo]

i'll buy it for my son

if anyone is online for blobs2 and you fight/team with Dillybo

that's my 11yr old son. i SUCK at fps games

 

[Alienous]

Reggie sighs with relief at this news.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

our long national nightmare is rover

 

[Kajiba]

Thats good for the Wii u

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Judging from the demo they showed on Sunday, it was probably running on the Wii U from the looks of things.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

They don’t want to talk about it yet because they “want to be mysterious” and PR won’t let him

That seems kind of weird.

 

[Vermillion]

Yeesh, for fuck's sake, at last!




Nah, I wasn't gonna buy it anyways, lol. Great news, though!

 

[Sub_Level]

Wii U redeemed

 

[Hero of Legend]

It was odd that Reggie would imply that Ghosts would not be coming for the Wii U during his interview with Geoff Keighley.

He said to "ask Activision", not a hint of it not coming.

And I hate this 120 sec wait between posts...

 

[Rush2thestart]

I want to know why Reggie was so damn coy about the game. He obviously knew it was coming. Whats the deal?

 

[schuelma]

You know, Nintendo's 3rd party lineup for this fall/holiday isn't that bad*


*Its 2014 and beyond that looks awful

 

[Zero148]

why launch with the other next gen versions and not on the same day as PS360? would be pretty depressing if the WiiU version then doesn't look like a in between version or something like that

 

[G-Unit]

This changes everything

 

[metalslimer]

Weird that it would launch with the PS4/One versions when it will most likely be a PS3/360 port or worse looking at last year. That seems actually unfair to Wii U

 

[Barack Lesnar]

This is great news for Wii U as it checks the box for "does it have call of duty". The game might sell poorly but just the fact that Nintendo can say "yes, we have call of duty" means a lot.

 

[Fantastical]

Well that's a relief to hear. 3rd party support is still terrible, but at least they have CoD.

 

[antonz]

That seems kind of weird.

It is Always that way with the Nintendo version. Just an odd quirk of the industry.


I have been saying for weeks and weeks it was coming and it wasn't allowed to be talked about but people kept saying no no you are wrong. So finally I can say Told you so!

 

[Slayven]

I would be scared to buy it, cause how weird they are being.

 

[iammeiam]

Late launch AGAIN? WTF.

 

[ronito]

Will it have the dog?

 

[guek]

May buy for dog, dunno yet

Is there going to be a zombie mode for this? Honestly that's all I play when I play blopsII

 

[Malvingt2]

Late launch AGAIN? WTF.

with others next gen versions... not a bad thing..

 

[javac]

Why so mysterious?

 

[GamerJM]

Cool, but I still have no interest in this game. Ghosts looks really unimpressive to me, even for a Call of Duty game. I hope the massive influx of open FPS games next-gen takes over CoD's popularity, because those look a lot more interesting to me as someone who isn't into FPS games, and the guys who currently work for Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer/whoever makes these games seem to have lost whatever touch they had.

 

[Kazerei]

I lol'd

 

[BD1]

I wonder if Activision is lobbying for some sort of licensing incentive from Nintendo? Reggie and Activision are so coy about it, maybe they're negotiating something behind the scenes.

 

[metalslimer]

with next gen versions... not a bad thing..

If it's not running at 1080p and 60FPS along with them than yes its a very bad thing for it not to be able to launch with the PS3/360 when the console has been out for a year at that point

 

[javac]

I figured it would be the opposite? Mario Kart 8, X, Smash for both Wii U & 3DS and Bayonetta 2 are already confirmed for next year. I think we get Yarn Yoshi next year too?

how do you know?

 

[Meelow]

In my little world, I'm hoping Nintendo announces a third party Direct and announces a whole bunch of games, Reggie was being very "ahh...We don't want to say anything" in the GameTrailers interview.

Would Third Parties really ditch the Wii U this early? It still has time to turn into a success, and I don't believe the Wii U's power will have anything to do with it this time.

I think frankly this fall/holiday is the height of Western 3rd party support.

The area that you could possibly/conceivably see some increased support is from Japan, since right now it is basically zero. Nowhere to go but up!

 

[gwarm01]

Reggie vindicated

 

[starwarsfan541]

Maybe the wii u version is being ported to the One and PS4.

It's ok for now.

[jmizzal]

I knew it would come

I meant for 3rd parties.

 

[JimboJones]

Will it have the dog?

Will come in 3 versions : Golden Retriever, French Bulldog and Toy Poodle.

 

[alfredofroylan]

But what about the dog?

Well it could always stay at zero.
