Microsoft elaborates on plans for Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Microsoft dropped some surprising news this week, revealing that it had reached a 10-year commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo platforms. Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer has now followed up with some additional information. This comes as part of an interview with The Washington Post.
One of the main takeaways is that the goal would be for a new Call of Duty game to end up on a Nintendo system at the same time as other platforms. However, it’s unlikely for anything to materialize next year. If it’s not blocked by regulators, Microsoft’s acquisition deal of Activision Blizzard – including the Call of Duty franchise – wouldn’t happen until June 2023.

Wii U recently celebrated its tenth anniversary, and in honor of the occasion, NPD data was shared that reveals the system’s top ten best-selling games of all time in the United States.
It’s a clean sweep for Nintendo with the company taking up all of the slots. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U ended up at #1. Splatoon, a new IP during the generation, managed to enter the top five. Something also worth noting is that Zelda: Breath of the Wild made the list even though it was one of the last games for the system and all attention was focused on Switch.
