Forums - Nintendo - Modern Warfare 2 is not on the Wii!

It goes back to them being graphics whores. They could care less for control schemes and bringing the game to even more people. I don't blame them, they want to create the best game possible. I just wish they could try on Wii, too. :(

They don't need to when they get all the sales they want via the HD twins and PC, pointless making a Wii version which is doubtful would even sell that great, a lot of work for nothing, this is why you won't see a wii version.....

In this economy, you don't settle for just that. And Activision won't anyway. Something is being made for the Wii, even if it's a variation on this (which has been happening for recent multiplatform games).



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

You do know that the COD/MW series is IP of Activision, right? Basically Activision tells them what platforms to make the game for. COD4 didnt have an engine for the Wii at the time, but now they have the engine they used for COD WAW on the Wii. This opens the path for COD6 development, and after seeing the Wii version of COD WAW sell over a mil units (effectively making 20-30 mil - double + the initial investment), Activision told IW that they HAVE to make a Wii version. Once a developer is making a publisher's IP, they are under the rule of that publisher. So even if IW absolutely hated the Wii, if they want to make MW2, they have to follow what Activision wants. In other words, they were told TO make the game.

Seriously, are you 12? It's the only way I can understand such an ignorant post. As posted above, COD5 on Wii made well over 20 mil, which is more than double the initial investment. So, if I told you that you are  guaranteed to make $100 if you invested $50, would you turn the offer down? That's pretty much what your post says.

 

A lot of work? Roll back a page in this thread, and you'll see that making a Wii version is actually fairly easy while developing HD versions side by side. Really, stop being such a damn fanboy. There's Gamespot.com for that.

Funny that people think that Infinity Ward hates making money. When will this ignorance die?

If there is no MW2 Wii then it will be for other reasons. Activision and Infinity Ward (and Businesses in general) like making profit. It would be a financially unwise business model to not try and maximize your profit.

Businesses arent as Fanboyish as some of us would like to believe.



This thread is hilarious. I'll quote Soriku on this. Maybe they (activision) won't make the game for wii because THEY DON'T WANT TO. Sure its easy money, but they decide. If wii fanboys can't take it, then buy an HD console, or buy the PC version, stop complaining. Hey i want Tatsunoko vs Capcom on my 360, but it's not coming, i'm not complaining.



Thanks for the comment Ari_Gold.

Not sure I was complaining just making a statement how business think.

For the record I personally will never own a Dual Analog stick Console. Controls matter to me more than graphics. If MW2 doesnt come to Wii I will buy it for my PC.



Going up against Killzone and Gears 2 etc. means that if they make this game watered down enough for Wii to handle it will only make it look dated and hurt sales.

When did KZ2 and Gears 2 come out for the Wii?

You're trying to compare HD games to SD games, it doesn't work.

By your logic, COD5 wouldn't have come out for the Wii because is was graphically inferior to Halo 3. See how sily that sounds?
