Forums - Nintendo - Call of Duty is comming to Wii this November

And it's in the database!

Took long enough. Good 10 minutes between official notice and the game being un-deleted (I tried to add it as soon as I saw Activision confirmed it but it wouldn't let me).

Expect this to just be the set up for MW2. 

 

Treyarch had to finish World at War before they could work on MW for Wii and if MW hits Wii it's only logical so too will MW2 not long after.

I hope the game has all the content and nothing cut off

They're working on COD 7 as well.

Indeed they are but they have more free teams this year than when they did World at War which also had them working on Spider-Man: Web of Shadows and Quantum of Solace.

MW on Wii is their only 2009 and CoD 7 is their only slated 2010 release so they have plenty of staff left over to work on MW2 as well.

It's called appeasement

Don't be ridiculous. The enthusiasts on the forums who have to be "appeased" are an insignificant section of the market. This is business, not politics we're talking about.

It's not just the members of this or any forum. That's a very miniscule number compared to the entire market. It is, however, for the 50M+ "casual" gamers who see, as someone so adequately put it earlier, the new CoD coming on everything except the Wii.

@Viper1

100,000 man hours? I thought it was just a port. I thought everything was there for the game, and just needed to be laid out on the Wii's architecture. I thought ports were already a lot cheaper to make on any platform, and now it's the Wii? And no impending threat? Hrmmm...ever heard of Modern Warfare 2? You know, the game that sent everything else into 2010? Like many have said, MW2 is going to cannabalize MW: Wii's sales, and then Activision will just turn around and say "well, we finally gave you the game, and you didn't buy it. Guess what we said is true about hardcore games. Oh well"



Why would casual gamers have to be "appeased". Come on, if it was a logical comment it should be easy for you to explain it.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

30 people x 50 hours weeks x 70 weeks = 105,000 man hours.  Of course the numbers are just averages but this comes out to about $3 million.  Not shovelware cheap but not full AAA game costs either.

And how exactly is MW threatening Activision?  More face palm.  For your appeasement theory to work, Activision would need to be threatened by Wii owners such as from a massive boycott.  You just suggested that the threat was their own game on completely different platforms.

This is interesting. A game that is a:

- big ip
- not a "niche" game
- most likely a good game

If this fails to sell HD numbers then it will get interesting with the excuses.

Yeah... like when Bioshock "flopped" on the PS3, right?
