USA Today recently published a preview of Call of Duty: Black Ops on their website. In the article, there was a statement that in addition to the PS3, 360, and PC, the game will be heading to the Wii. Previously though, Amazon listings indicated that the Call of Duty series would be taking a break on Nintendo’s platform. But Activision has finally confirmed that Black Ops, the next entry in the series, is in development for Wii.

“Black Ops will be available on all four platforms, PS3, X360, PC and Wii, on 9th November.”

The initial announcement for the latest Call of Duty title did not mention platforms specifically. But considering Modern Warfare Reflex’s respectable sales and seeing as how Treyach is experienced with Nintendo’s technology, it makes sense Activision is planning a Wii version of Black Ops.

“Before the launch of the Wii hardware, we at Nintendo had already come up with the idea that the Wii is the machine that’s going to be hooked up with the television set in the living room of the household. And so then the family members become the basis for us to think about how we’d like to develop the hardware and software for Wii. And that is why I’ve made software like Wii Music, Wii Sports, Wii Fit and other assorted titles. Having said that, I’ve never lost my passion for making games which are enjoyed by the more traditional gamer. An example is the introduction of Super Mario Galaxy 2.” – Shigeru Miyamoto

I definitely agree with Miyamoto that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a great example of what he mentioned. Not only is the game very challenging for core gamers, but it also has the ability to assist newcomers to 3D Mario. Even though Miyamoto will continue to work on casual titles in the future, you can also expect that he’ll create a bunch of experiences for the hardcore demographic.

The following information comes from a portion of an EDGE interview with Shigeru Miyamoto…

“As soon as we’ve finished a project, I always have regrets about what we could or should’ve done. But then there are these great ideas that we can utilise with future projects, one way or another. Some people might say Wii Music is a good example. It’s been said that it could have sold much more than it actually has to date, but it simply means that I have some assets right now that, by tweaking something, we might be able to have great success with in future.”

I think it’s pretty safe to say that Wii Music has been Nintendo’s biggest “Wii” failure. The game didn’t sell as well as the company had hoped, but the title was also hit pretty hard with reviews. There have been a number of fair complaints, though. I’m not too sure that this quote from Miyamoto necessarily means there’ll be a sequel, but Nintendo would need to take a look at the title’s criticisms to achieve greater success.
