It's Activision's game. If they want to announce it, they can.
It's a Nintendo console: it invented fish A.I.
I doubt Nintendo's going to be very heavy handed about how a third party game's advertised unless the platform simply wasn't announced yet or they planned some kind of promo. Which may well be what's happening, to get more interest drummed up on Wii U they have SOME incentive in mind to make people want it there, maybe Microsoft's DLC exclusivity had a loophole so Wii U could get it at the same time?
Activision itself didn't want to admit they were working on this game for the WiiU a little while back, even when we already knew that they were. So yea, it's them.

I'll definitely buy it, but only for Wii U. That's my system of choice and, though I love Nintendo properties, I'd also like third-party titles!

I guess yiu missed the launch of the wii versions. Also, what games are they refusing to bring overseas? That's an honest questuon. The inly one ti come to mind right now is Friend's Collection.

Every Wii CoD port (even the IW ones) were done by Treyarch. Doubt that changes now.

IIRC the article mentions IW is working on it. let me ask on twitter...

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Bought BO2 for Wii U, it's alright. Graphically it looks no different to the other versions from a standard point of view (I think it's worse when you get into particle effects and all that shit) but GamePad is nice. Lack of a good community and low amount of people online hurts it though, I was hoping it would pick up after a few months but it never did. Seems you can only get a good/full game in a TDM/FFA or Ground War. I can only see that happening again for this title too. I think I'll just get the PS4 version.

That's my assumption, it's common for magazines and sites to display the wrong developer (usually they just list the publisher as the developer or assume the main team is doing it).

Nah, instead of getting out of the way, the fish will just treat you as a ghost.

It does but again, it's probably being handled by Treyarch.
Probably not as troublesome this time, the game's hitting 360/PS3 afterall, so it's not a complete downport like MW1 and MW3 were (more like just a regular port really.) Nevermind that IW kind of emptied itself of a lot of its staff shortly after MW2's release, so I can't see this being the same IW as from then.

Go figure that Treyarch 1-uped them by bringing MW to Wii with Reflex Edition.

IW has grown a lot since then, though.
Wasn't much hope of them doing MW3 given they even had to bring on board Sledge to help them out with the other versions.
On a secondary note I find the magazine rules bemusing. Are they really copyrighted? Surely once it is on sale it is in the public domain and can be photographed with no issues?
If I took a photo of my phone and posted it here no one would bat an eyelid, yet the design of the phone is copyrighted and if I had the screen on then any graphics displayed would likewise be copyrighted.
Legit question, I am not sure why they are so sacred and special?
Indeed, you'd think a screenshot someone took of a game with a character showing would be showing copyrighted IP and thus shouldn't be allowed either!
But rules are rules of course!
I DO wonder whose left and what they do, I figure they're above Rare in that regard but absolutely not the same as they were. Nevermind how often other developers have to co-develop now whereas this was unheard of with MW1/2 or maybe was relegated to DLC only.
Right, that'd make sense. Probably less a brand and more like if 343i got to be called Bungie while Bungie as we recognize it left and formed a new company to make Destiny.

More games is a good thing. Call of Duty is still the biggest game in the world.
I only pick up the Treyarch releases (starting with WAW late 2012 all at discounts) because of their support of Nintendo consoles. Creating Wii versions of COD titles and porting the IW versions themselves as well as the actual story interests me more. Even Black Ops 2 had well done Wii Remote support and a constant updates. I'm not a online multiplayer guy but I bought it for local play with friends as it supports all controllers including classic controllers. I think I may check out gun game today during double XP weekend.

Any word on whether or not any of the next gen versions (including Wii U) will support 4-player split screen?

Agreed.
Disagreed completely. MW3's maps were Swiss cheese with openings and entries everywhere. No flow at all. Black Ops 1 maps are probably my favorite, on whole, of the whole series (since 4), and BO2 is not bad at all. Good mix of longer sightlines and flanking routes. I feel Treyarch's maps accommodate more playstyles.

So it's official. Excellent. I will definitely support Activision with a day 1 purchase
of this. Nintendo fans need to step up and support these third party releases when
they release. We're vocal ie: bitch when we don't get ports, we better damn well
support them when they do release.

What are you talking about? Half of the Wii U ports are half-assed versions of games that came out a year ago. Why would anyone support that?
It's more curious why it hasn't been officially announced. It's the only SKU not to.
I find it hard to believe there are games coming to WiiU this year we still don't know about. I wonder if there is reason to believe COD:Ghosts isn't the only one, and if that missing 3rd party direct is ever going to happen.
It's actually so strange, I would almost think this is an ONM typo before all of this weird secrecy/Activision-Nintendo Hijinx
The ones that are out already yes but not the one coming out the rest of the year.

I wonder why Activision continues to try and keep Call of Duty a bizarre secret on Nintendo systems.

^Correct.
Faint- CoD: BO 2 was *not* a half assed port nor was Need for Speed: Most Wanted
and Deux Ex is reportedly the "definitive version" according to the devs.
Most all WiiU ports have been on par or better then previous released versions
for other systems.

Why are you assuming that the people who say that they will buy on day one are part of the "they"?

I bought Blops 2 on Wii U, would you like picture evidence?
Treyarch 1-upped them when they made Black Ops. Best COD game.
