Will Nintendo Fans Support Call of Duty: Ghosts on the Wii U?

GotGame: When Black Ops II launched, we reviewed the Wii U version and we were very satisfied with how it turned out. Sadly, despite so much clamoring for a Wii U version, Nintendo fans simply didn’t turn out in droves to pick up the game, which was an absolute shame. Rumors that the game has sold under 500,000 since the game’s release on the console are aplenty, while Activision themselves have not released actual sales numbers. So what exactly is going on?

Well when the first COD came out even a smaller amount of Wii U were sold. Now there is more so more people are likely to buy it. I suspect people will as it is COD. COD is big. But people are not going to rush out and get a Wii U to play COD

What are the other Popular online FPS games available for Wii U ?

I think this will do just fine.

ritsuka6663918d ago

This is the First CoD game since 3 that has actually looked like a good game to me. Not gonna say day 1, but I probably pick it up.

TekoIie3918d ago (Edited 3918d ago )

On single player I agree (multiplayer we've yet to see). The dog looks as though he'll break up the gameplay a bit... until he dies...

Y'know I will actually give them credit if they dont kill the dog off in story terms.

Psn8003918d ago (Edited 3918d ago )

I should yes !

x2geex3918d ago

I bought Black Ops 2 and I will buy Ghosts. The WiiU version was the best version out and hopefully ghosts will be the same. So many games coming out for WiiU!

lol Frame drops as low as 46 FPS was the best version? XD

cherbhy3918d ago

I think x2geex means the best console version..

The frame rate might not be as good as other versions, but the textures are better, and it has more features. Splitting the screen to the Gamepad and playing multiplayer off tv, for example.

That said, I'm sure PS4 and XOne will have the superior versions of this game in terms of graphics and stability. But if we're talking ps360 or Wii U.. I'd take the Wii U version all day long. The only caveat to that is if you like playing specific multiplayer modes... on Blops2 Wii U the multiplayer count is still pretty low.

RFornillos43917d ago

while most will agree that Wii U's multiplayer was far less than those compared to PS3/360; a lot of people will also agree that Wii U's COD multiplayer also had more "mature" players. and by mature, I don't mean by age alone -- less 12-year old wannabees who screams more profanity than any R-18 movie.

Dgander3918d ago

If its anything like the first Black Ops im buying it on Wii U.

RicardJulianti3918d ago

I think the biggest factor over BLOPS2 will be that it is releasing at the same time as other versions. I'm pretty sure it'll also be a down-port of the PS4/Xbone versions instead of an un-optimized up-port. Treyarch knows the hardware fairly well too since they did BLOPS2 and they have had more time to make it, so it won't have the same issues as Blops.

I haven't even played a CoD since MW2, but I was seriously considering Black Ops 2 because of the off-tv, Wiimote and dual screen multiplayer. I just might actually pick this one up around the holidays.

Dgander3915d ago

Black Ops 2 was trash. The first Black Ops was way better and probably one of the best COD games (along with the first Modern Warfare).

TheEvilWithin3918d ago

I know i'm getting a copy when it comes out.

marloc_x3917d ago

Man oh Man.. the wallet's gonna hurt with these good games. BO2 is a lot of fun, I play on the gamepad a lot. My favorite is actually Finest Hour on my Gamecube. Would love to see a return to WW2 in this series,(bring on the MP40!)..

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth791d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo791d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy791d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad790d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX791d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam791d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje791d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad790d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891752d ago (Edited 1752d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1752d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1752d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1752d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1752d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
