Spanish retailer XtraLife has listed Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U. XtraLife mentions a November 11 release date and gives a look at Ghosts’ boxart:
Call of Duty: Ghosts is rumored to be announced in just a few days, so we may hear something official from Activision shortly.

Game & Wario pre-orders open, price set at $40
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Game & Wario pre-orders have opened at major retailers. Amazon is taking reservations here
while GameStop is allowing for pre-orders here.
GameStop originally listed a $40 price tag for Game & Wario. This appears to be the final price based on Amazon’s product page, though Best Buy is asking for $59.99
. Best Buy’s own listing could very well be temporary.
Iwata on third-parties, idea that Wii U is underpowered, more
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
During the Q&A session of Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing, one investor asked about third-parties when it comes to Wii U and the thought that the console contains “low power”.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata addressed this in three different “steps”:
Smaller devs and Nintendo Web Framework
– Nintendo wants to “expand the range of software developers”
– After their Nintendo Web Framework presentation at E3, Nintendo received inquiries from several hundred new developers
– Iwata feels that captivating titles will be born from this initiative and help to achieve their goal
– Teams working on this sort of software (such as Wii Street U and video-on-demand software that uses Nintendo Web Framework) are quite small, which allows for quick updates in a short time-span
Unity
– This has just recently started to be offered by Nintendo
– Iwata says that hundreds of thousands of developers for Unity exist, including developers in emerging nations
– Iwata believes that Nintendo has made it really easy to get them on board to release software on Wii U
Third-parties and Wii U power
– Iwata acknowledged that many people believe that Wii U is underpowered
– Iwata knows that Nintendo must work on remedying these misunderstandings
– He also knows that there are some third parties that are actively supporting Wii U, while others aren’t even giving it a second glance
– He wants to fix this by creating a situation in which third parties not currently actively supporting Wii U will regret that decision once third parties that did support it start to produce hits on the system
– This won’t happen right away, and it’s hard for them at the moment to persuade third parties to get on board given Wii U’s current state
– Nintendo is working on producing such results following Wii U’s “re-vitalization” on and after this summer

Rumor: Call of Duty reveal coming next week
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
The next Call of Duty, rumored to be Call of Duty: Ghosts, could be set for a reveal next week. IGN has posted marketing material sent to retail stores that suggests an official announcement is just a few days away.
The item is a display blueprint that will be distributed to most GameStop outlets on April 29. They will be told to bring out the display on May 1.
Black Ops II just so happened to be revealed during the NBA Playoffs last year on May 1. We could be seeing a similar pattern with this year’s Call of Duty.
