Forums - Nintendo - Is Modern Warfare 2 coming to Wii?

I'll give you that one, although the point I was trying to make is that it's not a Wii brand. MW2 may still make it to the DS.

This is Activision we're talking about. I don't think they care whose brand is what so long as something is reasonably profitable.

After the effort they put into making WaW on the Wii a success it would be foolish to skip over the next game in the series just to start all over again. IW likely won't make it but Activision will not let a year go by without some form of CoD on the Wii.

The fact that they dropped the "Call of Duty" brand basically confirms there will be no Wii version. Modern Warfare is a PS360 brand, not a Wii brand. Call of Duty is a Wii brand. Expect the next Call of Duty title to be on the Wii again.

And yes, assuming I'm right, this is extremely foolish of Activision. It's foolish to drop the best-selling Call of Duty name anyway.

What the...?  Brand?  The hell does that have to do with anything?   With that logic there should never have been RE5 on PS3/X360, DQIX on DS/DQ10 on Wii and the list goes on and on.

I've heard some intersting reasons why MW2 won't be on Wii but this one ranks as likely the most inane of them all.

Actually, the guys at IW do like Nintendo. The problem is this....back when CoD:MW was in development the game engine was not yet available and they tried to push it onto an older game engine which obviously failed and some of the head guys spoke out about it. The media made it out to look like they were bashing the Wii itself but their problems were with the game engine, not Nintendo or the Wii.

The CoD:MW game engine was completed in time for CoD:WaW which we all know works quite well. It's not available to use by IW which is the engine they are using for MW2 development.

 

Huh, World at War Wii is running on the CoD4 engine, which is made by IW. Why isn't it available to IW for MW2?

Sorry.  "Not" was supposed to be "now"

The CoD4 game engine for Wii was actually developed by Treyarch, not IW which is why I said, or meant to say, it is "now available to use by IW".

Regarding Treyarch handling the job, just keep this in mind...development on MW2 began in January of 2008. Now as you may have deduced, that's a good 11 months before WaW was even released.

Now, do you think Treyarch could have handled Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (PS3, X360, Wii), Quantum of Solace (PS3, X360, Wii), CoD:WaW (PS3, X360, Wii) AND CoD:MW2 for Wii in that time frame?

Now had they begun development in January of this year it would give them 11 months to work on MW2 instead of the 23 months they had to work on CoD:WaW.

Just something to think about.

Activision puts a lot of core games on Wii lately, and they sell well most of the times, i hope they do it this time, but probably not!

if it's not on Wii I'll most probably buy The Conduit instead



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

If Activision tells Infinity Ward to do it, they will. Activision isn't going to pass up on what is now a Platinum franchise for the Wii. It would be foolish to say "Oh it'll sell 11 million, what's another million on top of that?" A million seller is a million seller, something highly sought after



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

IW will do whatever Activision tells them to do.
