Rumor: Activision was waiting on Nintendo approval to announce Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 1 Comment
Nintendo may be to blame for Call of Duty: Ghosts’ late Wii U announcement.
Ghosts was officially confirmed in May. It wasn’t until July that Activision made the shooter official for Wii U.
According to Emily Rogers, who is often spot on with Nintendo rumors, Activision was waiting for some sort of approval for Nintendo – resulting in the delay.
Forgot to share this: Reason for Activision delaying Wii U announcement for Ghosts is because they were waiting on something from Nintendo.

From what I understand, Activision waited for Nintendo to give them an 'approval' on something. That delayed announcement of Wii U version.
— Emily Rogers (@Emi1yRogers) August 20, 2013
Rogers also says that when it comes to last year’s Black Ops II announcement – another late Call of Duty confirmation for Wii U – the news was withheld until Nintendo’s September conference in order to create buzz.
Delaying Blops 2 announcement was a different situation. That was strategically delayed to create buzz at Nintendo's September conference

Kamiya not making a big deal out of The Wonderful 101’s reviews
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 7 Comments
The Wonderful 101 reviews have started to hit the net. And of course, fans are bugging director Hideki Kamiya about some of the scores the game has received over the past day or so.
Kamiya, however, isn’t big on review scores. He doesn’t care what The Wonderful 101’s Metacritic average is. He doesn’t care if one site gave the game a so-so score. Instead of relying on scores, Kamiya thinks you should rely on your own intuition and thoughts about the game (that demo sure comes in handy!).
You can find Kamiya’s tweets below (warning: one expletive).
