Forums - Gaming - Nintendo: Wii U could become "preferred" Call of Duty platform!

Nintendo hopes that the Wii U GamePad could become the "preferred" way of playing Call of Duty games.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 remains unannounced for the platform, although a Wii U version has been heavily rumoured.

"Do we want to reach out to the core audience? Absolutely," Nintendo of America marketing exec Scott Moffitt explained to GameSpot. "They're very much part of our audience and the group of consumers we hope will find the way you can re-imagine games on the Wii U.

"The Wii U could become the preferred way to play those games for some of the core gamers."

The GamePad's touch screen could display maps and other HUD elements, Moffitt continued.

"You can imagine how a game like Call of Duty would work on the Wii U - the GamePad will allow you to declutter the TV and pull gaming items like maps down and not interrupt your interaction and enjoy the cinematic quality of the game on the TV.

"That's one application that could be exciting and could enhance gameplay for a core gamer."

But Moffitt admitted the Wii U's controls were "confusing relative to the Wii".

"With a second screen controller, you need to see what's on the second screen, so by nature it's a more complex system," Moffitt concluded. "It's less visually easy to understand."

Call of duty has a map?

EDIT: Seems he means the mini-map that is part of the HUD. I doubt gamers want that one a separate screen though.

Anyway, the biggest obstacle to Wii U attracting core gamers is that most of them are already invested in a HD system's echo system. Not many COD players will switch from PS3 to X360 and vice versa and neither will they to the Wii U.

+1 to you for your sense of humor despite our heated debates.



Would be great to see if that can happen.





Microsoft wont let that happen.

See, I think putting the HUD on the controller for a multiplayer shooter like Call of Duty is actually a BAD idea, and makes it worse for Wii U players... I mean if I want to check the map while I'm playing on my PS3, I can already see it in view, or I may just have to flick my eyes a little to the side to see it, I can still see the entire game screen so it's not distracting me or anything, and if I want to check ammo or kills or whatever, that's so easy to do. HOWEVER, if I had the Wii U, and wanted to check the map, I'd have to take my eyes off the gamescreen altogether to look down at my controller for anything like that, and for the time I'm doing that I'm vulnerable and won't be able to shoot back at people (Since I can't see them on the screen because I'm not looking at it) so really, I think it'd be more trouble than anything, despite what Nintendo think...


Bingo! Right on the money. I was actually waiting to see if someone will notice this. I mean the whole game is a twitch shooter ( I believe that's the 'correct' term)

Player 1: dude I think I see a red dot

Player 2: quick check on the wiiu screen if it's actually red and if so where it's at!

Player 1: give me a sec..ok I think they are red...and lemme see..yea I think they are behind us...oh Shi.......

@slimBeast: LOL no problem man :D we argue when we argue we laugh when we laugh..it's all good
