Call of Duty: Black Ops “additional online fee” statement clarified
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 7 Comments
A number of folks started to worry about Call of Duty: Black Ops due to a statement on the Wii boxart, which states that the title “is subject to an additional online fee” when gaming online. Some people assumed that this would mean they would have to dish out extra cash just to play with other gamers around the world. Fortunately, it looks as though the “additional online fee” will only come into play when purchasing downloadable content. A few Wii owners now have the title in their possession, and have written down what is said in the game regarding the online fee. You can check out a partial transcription below.
“Expand your experience with downloadable content from the Call Of Duty Store. All downloaded content includes new features and maps found in Call Of Duty: Black Ops.
**Additional fees may be required for Add-on Content.
This game allows you to connect to the internet and download add-on content (such as data or services) for Wii Points. Please keep the following in mind when downloading licences for add-on content…”
Classic Capcom Arcade Titles Coming to Wii’s Virtual Console Arcade (official announcement)
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 3 Comments
This winter, Capcom is bringing its classic arcade titles to the Nintendo Wii’s Virtual Console Arcade. As previewed at New York Comic Con, six titles will be released in all: SONSON, 1942, Ghosts’n Goblins, Black Tiger, EXED EXES, and Commando: Wolf of the Battlefield. These old-school classics will challenge and bemuse veteran gamers and introduce a new generation to Capcom’s arcade roots. All six titles will be available through the Virtual Console download service in both the US and Europe.
1942 – This classic vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up is perhaps Capcom’s finest moment in the pre-Street Fighter era. Spawning a million clones and re-appearing throughout the history of gaming, 1942’s biplane action needs no introduction. And now, for the first time on the Wii, the original and best version.

Another indication that Call of Duty: Black Ops Wii isn’t delayed in North America
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
A few reports recently surfaced regarding a small delay for Call of Duty: Black Ops Wii in Europe. The situation in North America, however, still appears to be the same – regardless of what you may have heard elsewhere. You may remember that Activision told us a c0uple of weeks ago that the game is still on track to be released this Tuesday in the United States. Additionally, a GameStop employee claims that his store received a shipment of Wii copies this past Friday. So, it does indeed seem as though a number of stores will be prepared to sell consumers the Wii version. To be on the safe side, it might be wise to make a quick phone call before heading out to your local GameStop, or wherever else you’re thinking of purchasing the game from!
“We got all of our copies BUT the Wii version by wednesday of last week. Then a box of nothing but Wii copies showed up friday. Its not delayed, its just most likely from a different shipping location.”
