| flagstaad said: I think Activision is doing a great job of supporting the console, they had CoD BO2 ready for launch, they had Skylanders, 007 Legends, Wipeout 3, a port of Transformers Prime, and are working on a port of Amazin Spiderman. Yes they don't have a lot of great games out there, but almost everything they put on the other consoles they also made or ported to the Wii U. Activision was one of the best supporters of the Wii and I think they will continue with the Wii U. |
Activision supported in terms of volume, but not in terms of quality. The absence of Modern Warfare on Wii at first release is a good demonstration of that - the fact that Activision couldn't even be bothered telling Infinity Ward to make a single game for the Wii emphasises it further. Keep in mind that Activision owns Infinity Ward, so if Activision said "make a Wii version", IW would have had to do so.
The only part of Activision that truly cared about the Wii was Treyarch (and maybe, MAYBE, Vicarious Visions) - and I see that continuing with the Wii U, at this point. In other cases, where Activision did put games on the Wii, they almost always had a different developer handle the Wii version. That Wii versions did as well as they did is testament to how much potential the Wii actually had.
And there were a lot of other titles that Activision released for PS3 and 360, but not Wii, too. For instance, Blur, Wolfenstein, Prototype, Singularity, 007 Blood Stone (DS got a version, Wii didn't), Transformers: War for Cybertron, Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse, and Angry Birds Trilogy. And many other games, Activision did such a poor job of advertising the existence of Wii versions, I didn't even know of them, despite being an avid Wii gamer. Most notably, almost all Call of Duty titles after World at War.
Meanwhile, Activision's three announced 2013 games are all set for release on PS3 and 360, but not Wii U.
