This is a huge let-down for fans of the series, without a doubt. I can’t say that I was looking forward to the game, as I’ve yet to play an installment of the franchise, but for those that were this is an unfortunate piece of news.

Activision: Call of Duty 4 Wii will probably be the best multiplayer FPS for the system

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 18 Comments

Even though The Conduit has suffered from a few online glitches and hackers, the system in place is still quite favorable for online gaming for Wii. Unfortunately, there aren’t many other FPS titles to choose from when it comes to playing with others through the Internet. Perhaps Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will change that situation, though. Daniel Suarez, Activision’s Executive Producer for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Wii, stated at GamesCom that the company is developing what will “be probably the best multiplayer first-person shooter coming to the Wii.”

“And what Treyarch has done is they’ve ported this game to the Wii, really leveraging the great component of the system, the controls, and really delivering what we consider to be probably the best multiplayer first-person shooter coming to the Wii.”

Thanks to julio for the news tip!

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Four new characters slated for reveal at TGS 2009

Posted on 15 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii | 1 Comment

At this year’s GamesCom, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom producer Ryota Niitsuma teased 4 new additions to the game’s roster in time for the North American/PAL release. No word yet on what those characters might be, but I don’t think I’m the only one hoping the game gets a little Phoenix Wright icing to top of what looks like a very delicious gaming cake.

Tokyo Games Show will be held this September. The game is slated for release this winter.
