Let the Call of Duty: Black Ops II Wii speculation begin

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 0 comments

For several years, Nintendo fans have been wondering if the next Call of Duty game will be released on the Wii. Activision is quick to confirm PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC versions, but since 2007 or so, it’s taken them until mid-late summer to confirm a Wii edition.

We’re in a unique situation this year. By the time Call of Duty: Black Ops II launches, the Wii U will probably be just about ready to hit store shelves. So will Black Ops II come to Nintendo’s new home console? Just the Wii? Both? Neither?

Most of those questions will be left unanswered until E3 (or later), but there is one sign that Black Ops II is in the works for Wii.

A sub-board for Black Ops II Wii has opened on the official Call of Duty forums. This doesn’t confirm anything completely, but you’d have to wonder why there would be such a category if the game wasn’t coming to Nintendo’s console.

This also makes us consider the possibility of Black Ops II for Wii U. Again, Activision probably won’t confirm/deny a version for Nintendo’s upcoming console until E3 or later.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
