Yesterday, Activision confirmed a release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops II’s Revolution DLC on the PlayStation 3 and PC. That leaves Wii U as the only console with uncertainty surrounding downloadable content.

Even some of the closer folks at Activision are unsure as to what the Black Ops II DLC situation is like on Wii U – including social media manager Dan Amrich.

When asked about the Revolution DLC for Wii U, Amrich tweeted:

I have not heard any info, one way or the other, concerning Wii U DLC. I’ve asked, no answer yet. RT @jman4371: But what about Wii U?!

Resident Evil: Revelations HD will support GamePad and Wii U Pro Controller options. What players won’t be able to do is control the game with a Wiimote and nunchuck.

Capcom’s Mike Lumm wrote on Capcom-Unity:

“Unfortunately [Revelations] is only supported by the Wii-U gamepad at the moment. We’re doing what we can to get the new classic controller compatibility, but the game’s not setup to track motions from the wii-remote at this time.”

Wouldn’t it be neat to see a Wiimote and nunchuk setup through a patch? The wording of “at this time” doesn’t shut the door on the possibility completely…

During its investors call last week, Ubisoft provided an update about its financial status regarding Wii U.

CEO Yves Guillemot started out by noting the console’s “slow launch”. While the company is “satisfied by our market share in the US and Europe”, Guillemot said that its “performance was impacted by low-tie ratios.”

A slew of new first-party Wii U titles were announced during a Nintendo Direct last month. Guillemot feels that some of these releases will “boost its potential.”

“Regarding Wii U, while we are satisfied by our market share in the US and Europe – at respectively 20% and 27% – our performance was impacted by low-tie ratios. Nintendo has recently announced the coming release of some of their great brands on Wii U, and we believe it will boost its potential.”
