Usual announcement for a Nintendo Call of Duty game.

Same thing happened with Black Ops 1 before that as well. This is the  4th year in a row they've pulled the same stunt.

I have to wonder what the hell Activision gains by keeping the Nintendo version top secret until a few months out.


they dont care about that version, the fact that you could have preordered every other version including the next gen ones and its the only version outsourced to another dev, tells me Acti simply doesnt care about COD on WIi U that much.

How have the last few Wii COD games been? Are they on equal ground with the PS3/360 versions?

no, no they havent. 

OT i dont know why it took so long, they are only hurting themselves, hell you cant even pre order

and no MS has nothing to do with that, as they didnt block PS3/4 announcements

Somebody other than Activision or Nintendo has to be providing Activision with financial incentive to pretend the Wii/Wii U versions of the game don't exist. My guess is that it is Microsoft, due to the bargain about exclusive content, and just that Activision would not agree to ignore/downplay PlayStation versions because they sell just as well as the Xbox ones.

I'm so surprised

That information is wrong. You are so so wrong, and I would like to see a link.

Call Of Duty: Ghosts will be made by Infinity Ward. Activision and the Official Nintendo Magazine says so.

They have "Infinity Ward" pasted right on the Wii U cover, so I wouldn't doubt that.



Say what you want about Activision but it's great to see them throwing the WiiU support in these difficult times. Hopefully they finds some creative uses for the gamepad.

again you are being paranoid, its not like the PS3 version of the series has always done gangbusters, as Wii fans love to point out it did worst than the Wii version of COD3 at the start, so that leads me to believe that sales have nothing to do with it. 

Matter of fact sales do have to do with it, but it makes NO sense for MS to spend extra money to downplay a version of a COD that most people arent going to buy anyway. Why waste the money, they would be far better downplaying the PS3 version since that is the one that people actually buy.

I think Activision just dont care much about COD on Wii consoles, its that simple IMHO. it sucks, but its simple.

There's a difference between not caring and acting like the game doesn't exist. If it was a simple matter of not caring, why not just tag a "Wii U" logo onto the first (non Xbox event) trailer for Ghosts that came out? You don't have to talk about it, you don't have to up-play it, but to act like it doesn't exist? To not allow people to pre-order it? What possible motive could there be?

Remember the interview with the guy from Infinity Ward at E3? He basically said it was coming, but also implied that Activision's lawyers would not let him openly admit as such. What possible reason could there be for that?

They are not just ignoring it, they are actively attempting to discourage people from buying it, but that is against their own interests (especially since it's pretty clear that they're not just looking for an excuse to drop support like EA was. Activision, at least, usually puts in a modicum of effort with their Nintendo Call of Duties). So what's the motive, here? Why would Activision self-sabotage?

Microsoft wouldn't spend "extra" money for this, either. It was simply part of the moneyhat that got them timed DLC exclusivity: bury the non-Xbox versions, but Activision couldn't really afford to bury the PlayStation version, so it was agreed to bury the Nintendo ones instead.
