Thanks to Claymore for the tip!
“We do whatever we can to make the two (360/PS3 and Wii versions) as similar as possible. The expectation is ‘that game on that platform’, even though we know objectively the platform is not the same. Whereas we’re able to create the same assets that can be used on PC, PS3 and 360, we actually have to do quite a bit of work on both the technology and assets for Wii. The investment is heavy to get it working on the Wii, but we’re committed to it as we were with Modern Warfare, World at War and Call of Duty 3. It’ll be our fourth Wii shooter. Is there another team that’s put out four Wii shooters? There probably is, but certainly not online. And look, we have a huge online fanbase and they’re playing it over and over. We obviously want to please that audience – the Wii has been great.” – Treyarch Studio Head Mark Lamia
“The Wii community is very vocal. People think that they’re just casual gamers and don’t go on forums, but they can be very opinionated.” – Community Manager Josh Olin
To be honest, I was actually doubting that Black Ops would come to Wii. I thought that Activision might decide to release Modern Warfare 2 on the system, or something strange like that! I’m really glad that we are getting the latest Call of Duty on Wii, and at the right time. It’s also great to hear that the developers are going to do the best they can to match the PS3/360 versions of the game.

Update: Game Night is now over!
Howdy, fine readers! I hope you all are here to make tonight another awesome game night, full of fun, laughs, yelling, and all of those wonderful emotions associated with online gaming. For tonight we don’t have a specific game to play, so hop in and make a suggestion and we’ll do our best to accommodate you! Remember, the IRC requires no sign-up, and it’s probably the coolest place on the internet during game nights! Hop on in, open a bag of chips, sit down on the couch, and get ready for another fun evening of gaming!
Hey guys, how’s everyone doing today? I hope quite well! I’d like to let everyone know that we’ll all be playing games at 6PM CST (4PM PST, 7PM EST) tonight, so make sure you boot up your Wiis and pop in some wifi games to play! We haven’t picked a specific game to play, but I’d expect that there will be rounds of Mario Kart, Monster Hunter, or The Conduit going often enough. If you have any wifi-enabled games you want to try and play with people, make sure you show up!

Remember that awful-looking Sonic 4 level we told you about a few months ago? Apparently that stage, along with other gimmicks from Lost Labyrinth Act 2 have been removed from the consoles versions. Instead, SEGA has opted to only include such stages in the iPhone and iPad editions. It remains to be seen, however, if the special stages will take advantage of motion controls. Take this rumor with a grain of salt for now, but it would certainly make sense if it turns out to be true.
