E3 2013: Call of Duty: Ghosts Confirmed For Wii U

E3 2013: Call of Duty: Ghosts Confirmed For Wii U

Vincent Parisi 12 Jun

It looks like every dog does has his day after all. Activision has been tight-lipped about third-party support for the Wii U, and most folks generally assumed there wasn’t a snow-dogs chance in hell (no, those jokes aren’t stopping anytime soon. #dealwithit) that Call of Duty: Ghosts would make it console-side for Nintendo’s underpowered next-gen offering. However, Infinity Ward has confirmed at E3 that Ghosts will in fact woof its way onto the Wii U; releasing alongside the other next-gen offerings when they become available.

Exec producer Mark Rubin confirmed the news with Gamespot out on the show floor, saying, “That’s probably in the next-gen bin, but we’re not actually talking about Wii U yet. ‘Cause we want to keep it mysterious.'”

Releasing the Wii U version alongside the next-gen console versions will likely draw some ugly comparisons; as opposed to debuting the game next to current-gen hardware. Still, the Wii U is in desperate need of third-party support, and having Call of Duty on their side is obviously a major morale boost with enough influence to convince a few fence-sitters that the Wii U is worth the plunge.  It’ll be interesting to see how the Wii U experience stacks up feature-wise, considering the next-gen approach to social media and content sharing both the Xbox One and PS4 have so adamantly backed.

Is this announcement a crowd-pleaser? Is Call of Duty a worthwhile third-party title to play on Nintendo consoles, or do most people buy the series just to play with friends on Xbox Live? What other third-party support should Activision bring to the Wii U?

About The Author

Vincent Parisi

I guess I'm the typical, modern day nerd. I was raised right on Batman: TAS and old-school TMNT. I've been a core gamer since I was 2 years old (I was beating Mario before I could finish sentences) and haven't thought twice about it since. My favorite game genre is RPG for sure. I love the advent of channels like Nerdist and Geek and Sundry, and will never turn down an invitation to a Con. (Though I don't cosplay... yet.) I hate not owning the latest and greatest gadgets and aspire to find my place in the world of game journalism. Favorite Games: The Mass Effect trilogy, Super Mario World, the BioShock series, the Ratchet and Clank series, anything featuring Nolan North. Favorite shows: FireFly (Browncoats, unite!), Bones, Castle, Spectacular Spider-Man (RIP), Transformers Prime. Anything featuring the voice talents of Steve Blum, Gina Torres, Ashley Johnson, or Yuri Lowenthal. Favorite Comics: Amazing Spider-Man (Thanks for the memories), most things featuring Batman, any one where Green Arrow makes an appearance.
