A few reports recently surfaced regarding a small delay for Call of Duty: Black Ops Wii in Europe. The situation in North America, however, still appears to be the same – regardless of what you may have heard elsewhere. You may remember that Activision told us a c0uple of weeks ago that the game is still on track to be released this Tuesday in the United States. Additionally, a GameStop employee claims that his store received a shipment of Wii copies this past Friday. So, it does indeed seem as though a number of stores will be prepared to sell consumers the Wii version. To be on the safe side, it might be wise to make a quick phone call before heading out to your local GameStop, or wherever else you’re thinking of purchasing the game from!

“We got all of our copies BUT the Wii version by wednesday of last week. Then a box of nothing but Wii copies showed up friday. Its not delayed, its just most likely from a different shipping location.”

Update: Added a slightly higher-quality picture.

Activision’s coverage of the Call of Duty series on Wii seems to be getting worse as the years go by. Last year, although there was minimal coverage for Modern Warfare – Reflex Edition, we were able to see a few screenshots before the game was available.

This time around, with Black Ops, we’ve seen absolutely no media pertaining to the Wii version. The game is set to be released next week, and unfortunately, we haven’t seen any images from the title on Nintendo’s console unlike last year. On the bright side though, someone appears to have taken a photo of the boxart, which shows three screenshots of the Wii version. Of course, it isn’t much, and you can’t judge the game’s visuals by a low-quality picture, but I suppose it’s better than nothing right now!

Thanks to KAPPA64 and Sme for the tip!

Update: According to one of our loyal readers, joclo, ONM stated in the magazine that the 3DS will “hit Europe by the end of March” and that there is “no specific date or price for us just yet – Nintendo of Europe will make its own announcement regarding that in due course.” Consider the listing in the scan below to be a guess, if anything!

Right now, I wouldn’t put much stock into ONM’s listing. I can’t remember any of the DS models launching in North America on a Friday. For all we know, it’s possible that Nintendo of America/Europe haven’t even finalized a release date yet. I’d like to find out soon, though!
