All of the sudden, there are a number of uncertainties surrounding the Wii U version of Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The game’s season pass won’t be available on the console – at least not right away since Activision is evaluating the situation with Nintendo – and now the newly announced YouTube streaming feature also won’t be on Wii U “at this time”.

The one decent piece of news concerns the possibility of adding the functionality sometime down the road. An Activision representative said YouTube streaming could come to Wii U in the form of a “future update”:

“Wii U will not have this feature at this time, but it is being evaluated for a future update.”

Some great news for people worried that the Wii U Gamepad might get weaker and weaker in charge as the console’s lifespan continues: Reports have surfaced (I believe from ShackNews originally) that players can remove the rechargeable batteries from both the Gamepad and Pro Controller and get them replaced! No word on how much the replacements will cost, but they will be purchasable directly from Nintendo.
