Black Ops 2 Wii U won't launch with Call of Duty Elite

4.6

Black Ops 2's Elite service won't be available in any form on the Wii U at launch, Activision says.

"We are currently evaluating options for Call of Duty Elite to support Nintendo's Wii U game system, however Call of Duty Elite for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will not support this platform when the game launches on November 13," Activision tells Kotaku.

This is true in more than just the Elite sense, since the Wii U doesn't launch until November 18 in North America. Activision recently announced Elite will be free across all platforms for Black Ops 2 and will have a season pass for DLC, at least on Xbox 360. There's no word yet on a season pass for other platforms, but Activision is "working with Nintendo" to bring it to Wii U.

Not enough people play it on the wii for them to add it in anyway.

Every 'big' game that has been reworked for the Wii and the soon to be Wii U is basically a cut down version of those available on Xbox360/PS3 etc. To be honest the fact that it'll be missing Elite will be the least of it's problems.

Inside gaming couldn't have said it better. Fear the return of the friend code system... *cringe*
