Activision promises to support Wii U in future

4.6
Speaking to GI.Biz, Hirshberg said that it’s always interesting to work with new platforms.

“We take our time to get our ducks in a row before pulling any trigger. We don’t have announcements today but we will be supporting Wii U,” he said.

“I think it’s interesting to think about all the platforms. Just in general, that’s part of my job as a studio head, working with Activision on assessing where our creative can live. How can people experience it? We obviously have been a Nintendo developer for many years and have created many Call of Duty games on the Nintendo platform. [Wii U] is clearly a more powerful platform than its predecessor and… they have obviously a unique controller and interface.”

Hirshberg seemed pleased with Nintendo’s announcement of the new Wii U Pro controller.

“They announced a Pro Controller which appears to be a controller that would be really good for first-person shooter games. It just so happens that’s what we specialize in. So that’s an interesting development and then they have that touch display device and you think about the kinds of things you might be able to do and – without getting into specifics – I absolutely have given it consideration and thought. We’re game developers and it’s a new piece of hardware and technology, so we’re always thinking about that stuff.”

Nintendo Power outed a Wii U version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 yesterday, although there has been no official announcement yet.

FPS_Ryan Playing COD on a touch screen would be awesome!


you kinda could on the ds


It was horrible on DS though, if they do create a game for Wii U then they have to put a decent amount of time and effort into it so it doesnt suck like every previous cod game for nintendo

Even if they put time and effort into it, it will still be crap. Wii just cant run cod

-Tenth- Hopefully when they have COD on the Wii U it has better Graphics then the one on the Wii!


It will probably have the same graphics as the Wii, with MAYBE a little more touch ups. Nothing too big like Xbox/PS3 graphics yet.


They have said that the Wiiu will have the same if not better graphics than the xbox
