“E3Insider”, the official “hub” of the expo, has mentioned Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U.

Activision has flat out refused to confirm the first-person shooter for the console, despite the fact that all other versions of the game have been announced – including next-gen platforms.

The E3Insider site lists Wii U alongside the previously confirmed PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC versions.

Genius Sonority has created two Denpa Men games thus far. How about a third? If people play and enjoy The Denpa Men 2, executive director Chihiro Kobayashi says that the studio would “sure like to make a another”.

Another topic recently addressed by Kobayashi is the Wii U. Genius Sonority doesn’t have any plans for the console currently, but it is “strongly interested” in the console.

Skylanders has been a massive success in the video game space, but Activision has no plans to bring the IP to other entertainment areas. Activision’s VP of consumer marketing John Coyne told MCV that the company isn’t considering a TV show or movie at the moment.

He said:

“Kids, when they see the new toys, it is a new form of content for them. My own son, when he gets a new Giant, he naturally wants to go and play levels he has already played, but with a new character to see what it can do. In terms of a TV show or a movie, no there are not any plans. We believe the game is the entertainment. You talk to kids who are real fans of the franchise, and they will be able to tell you Gill Grunt’s powers, backstory, what his friends are and generally what’s going on in the world of Skylanders. The same sort of things that they are able to articulate around a TV show or a movie.”

VP of Activision’s business unit Joshua Taub also said: “The video game is the movie.”
