Activision plans to support Wii U, Treyarch remaining coy
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
It was surprising to see that Activision didn’t announce any titles for Wii U at E3 2012. The only game confirmed for the console, Skylanders Giants, was mentioned casually in an interview following Nintendo’s press conference.
Even with the lack of reveals, fans can be rest assured that Activision is planning support for the console.
Activision Publishing boss Eric Hirshberg has said that they “take out time to get our ducks in a row before pulling any trigger.”
“We take out time to get our ducks in a row before pulling any trigger. We don’t have announcements today but we will be supporting Wii U.”
…we were there with second screen enhancements with Call of Duty Elite last year and one of the primary uses we’re finding comes through the tablet and through the smartphone.”
“People are using it as that sidecar as they’re playing… People are using it in that between games way that I think now you’re seeing that kind of rhetoric with the controller from Nintendo as well as the SmartGlass presentation from Microsoft. So it’s great that others are jumping on board and enhancing that idea but it’s something we were doing last year with Elite.”

Nintendo Gamer previews Call of Duty: Black Ops II for Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo Gamer has reason to believe that Call of Duty: Black Ops II is coming to Wii U. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for the magazine to publish a preview of the game in its latest issue.
Keep in mind that this doesn’t mean that Black Ops II is confirmed for the console – even though it’s very likely. Nintendo Gamer has a history of being very speculative and the fact that its article is essentially a round-up of already-known information without Wii U-specific details is curious.
