Still no news on Call of Duty: Ghosts for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Activision made the next-generation version of Call of Duty: Ghosts official this week when the game was unveiled at Microsoft’s Xbox One announcement event. Infinity Ward later confirmed Ghosts for the PlayStation 4 as well. That leaves Wii U as the only console without a confirmation that the shooter is on the way.
We had hoped that Activision may have something new to share about Ghosts for Wii U now that next-gen versions are out in the open. Sadly, that’s not the case. When asked about any news of a Wii U version, the company told us that it doesn’t have “anything more to announce about Ghosts at this time.”
I still have a feeling that Ghosts will be on Wii U, but the fact that we can’t get a straight answer is maddening.
Neko Entertainment bringing The Mysterious Cities of Gold to Wii U, 3DS

Neko Entertainment has a new game lined up for the Wii U and 3DS: The Mysterious Cities of Gold.
Perhaps that name sounds familiar to some of you. The project is based on the same French/Japanese animated series that originally aired in the 1980s.
Only a few details about the game are known at present. Players will be able to switch between the heroes Esteban, Zia and Tao, and areas will be shown from a top-down perspective.
The Mysterious Cities of Gold will be available this fall.

Need for Speed: Rivals not heading to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Earlier today, EA announced the next entry in the Need for Speed franchise – Need for Speed: Rivals. Unfortunately, there are no plans to bring the game to the Wii U at this time.
Ghost Games’ founder and Rivals producer Marcus Nilsson told Eurogamer that “Frostbite is not really set up for Wii U.” EA confirmed in its announcement that the racer is being built on the Frostbite 3 engine.
“Yeah, Frostbite is not really set up for Wii U. I don’t have all the information, so it wouldn’t be right for me to speak about it. Frostbite 3 is a really capable engine, it’s scalable and it gives us a big advantage on the next generation to support the Xbox One and the PS4, but it’s not being developed on the Wii U.”
A shame that we won’t be seeing this one on Wii U. You could argue that Most Wanted was best on Nintendo’s system last year out of all console versions, so it would have been nice to see how Rivals turned out.
