This announcement about 6 games for Wii U sounds like Activision has negotiated with Nintendo for something. Will see about what. Maybe marketing push from Nintendo. Should we expect a bundle ?

Treyarch are actually a guarantee that the Wii U version will be good, I trust them.

Now, should we wait for a Rockstar announcement soon?

Everything was believable until this part...

Surely, but would Activision advertise the version of the game that would be available almost a month afterwards rather than PS360 and PC (I don't have any hope they will with the Wii U version, but I still hope Nintendo will)?

You mean the version that looks best? Yeah sure why not :)

You've seen the adverts showcasing awesome graphics with a tiny disclaimer in the corner: "footage from PC version" or "not game footage" etc

I wouldn't put it past them to do that sort of thing if the timing is right.

Plus PS4 might be put by Nov... ;)

Oh oh!!!, Classic Nintendo fanboy response ...then shells out 60 bucks for Next 2d Mario.

This game is going either bring back wavering 3rd party devs or finish off the Wii u as viable for non Nintendo games.
Click to expand...

They prefer to spend 60$ bucks on the next 2D Mario because is the reason for why they buy Nintendo home consoles in the first place, for Nintendo games only and anything else. Whatever multiplatform game avaliable on the platform as long it's not exclusive, they prefer to play it on another platform.

This is an issue Nintendo needs to fix with strong advertising to encourage their userbase to buy multiplatform games on their systems.

all of these third parties are too little too late for me personally. However if I weren't getting a launch PS4 (or a game happens to not be coming out.. i.e. Arkham Origins) it would be cool.

That being said, yeah.. I'm getting Arkham Origins on Wii U unless the port is incredibly bad or something.

So can someone tell me how comfortable it is using the wiiu controller for fps games?
Click to expand...


It's great. Once you get used to the symmetrical analog sticks (which imo is the best position ergonomically) it's the most comfortable controller I've used, tbh.

ymmv,of course. If you can, try one out in store. They're super light and have a ~70 battery life or something.


Edit: I was talking about the Pro controller. Sorry! GamePad is very comfy too, battery life kinda spoils it though...

Hey Nintendo

Release a bundle of this game, with this

I'm not a huge COD fan but I usually end up picking up every new version, so I'll probably get this. Off-TV play is ideal for every game in the universe.
Click to expand...
Exactly! that's a very good controller. It's a shame it feels/considered/viewed/appears like a secondary control input/peripheral.

Gamepad? Pretty comfortable.

Pro Controller? Basically the same as any modern controller.

I would actually be curious if they stick in Wiimote+nunchuk controls. If they do that and they don't stick in Move controls for PS4, it would be enough to make me curious as to which one to buy for single player.

Says so in the PR ('Next gen' engine at least). Although I'm thinking that's just Activision being economical with the truth (ie, next gen of their engine, rather thana next gen engine... )
Click to expand...

I think this has been confirmed. Just a reworked version of the MW3 engine iirc.

Yeah don't expect anything great. Why haven't they showed Wii U footage yet?
Click to expand...

720p render.
AA
Stable framerate.
Next-gen shaders.
DLC parity (sans obviously exclusive Sony content)

That would be literally all it would take to get me to grab a Wii U version.

But Wiimote+nunchuk (pointing controls) is THE way to go imo.
Click to expand...


Count me in among the new Wii U Blops 2 players!

Getting a little better with the Wiipad, and am practicing with the Wiimote/nunchuk. I'm nowhere near as good as I am on PS3, but I'm getting used to these controllers little by little.
Off TV play is killer, and I'm very happy to hear Ghosts is coming to the U. With Treyarch at the helm I have to wonder if this will be the superior version?

Has Rockstar officially denied a Wii U version for this year? Like, is there 10% chances to see it announced on Wii U and PC at Gamescon?
Click to expand...

That haven't 100% denied it. They even have tested it out to see how it runs on the Wii u. Very unlikely, tho. It'd be amazing if it did.


Maybe, that's why Nintendo is okay with w101 coming out a few days before? Nawww

It's really comfortable. Your hands don't cramp up over long play sessions with the smaller controllers. You can also rest it on your lap, because of its width. You just have to get use to its width. You'll feel like a giant going back to a smaller controller.

Seriously. What's wrong with them ? I mean, what's WRONG with them ? Don't tell me it's 3rd party effort when you announce the same game... at a later date. This is just the best way to make sure it bomb.

awesome.

one of the early CoD Wii games (CoD3?) had AMAZING wiimote controls, just a tight non-configurable bounding box. once you got accustomed to the bounding box it was amazing. a bigger or configurable bounding box would be incredible.

of course there is RE4Wii. Controls so good it made much of the game trivial.

Buying if it will have DLC support. Kinda irritated I couldn't get any of that on BLOPS2. Not sure why Activision hasn't done much with eShop yet.

The press release mentioned Wii remote support.

I'm in day 1. But... is the netcode gonna be just as bad as BO2? -_-

I would love to buy this game on Wii U for the IR support, but since I'm going digital only this gen, I guess I won't:(

Shocking.

They were secretive about the Wii versions of COD too. As much as I don't like COD, the Wii versions had great pointer controls and really showed how to do FPS controls on the Wii.

So who is handling the PS360 versions of Ghost? I'd assume the Wii U version will be based directly on those versions.

720p render.
AA
Stable framerate.
Next-gen shaders.
DLC parity (sans obviously exclusive Sony content)

That would be literally all it would take to get me to grab a Wii U version.

You won't get it. It will run at a sub-HD resolution just like every other PS360 iteration and it WILL have slowdown. It won't receive any additional visual tricks over the PS360 versions and it will probably run worse (just as Black Ops 2 did).

Wii U is approaching critical mass this holiday. Nintendo is going to have all major 3rd party releases this fall san GTA 5 and EA Support. I want to jump on Wii U for Wonderful 101, Watchdogs and CoD Ghost and Ubisoft games. The Batman game looks good too.


I am just to scared to invest because all the negativity on 3rd party land. I really wish 2K was working on Wii U would love a version o The Beraeu Xcom Declassified.

Really? Treyarch's work on Nintendo hardware has always been excellent. The Wii U port of Blops 2 is great.
Click to expand...

And possibly(?) made on unfinished devkits, and early SDK's. Now the devkits are finalized and SDK's have been improved a lot, should help Ghost quite a lot I guess.
