Modern Warfare 2 on Wii. Why not....right??

Remember my RE5 blog, and then RE5 disappointed big time (I do). Now I am going to write another one of my "Should It Be On The Wii Blogs". This time I am taking on Modern Warfare 2. These are the Top 2 reasons it should be on the Wii and  the Top 3 reasons why it should happen if it is on the Wii.

It Should....not!!!!!

1. Infinity Ward doesn't give a $H!T: Why should Infinity Ward care?? Modern Warfare 2 will sell on Wii, but it will sell 1/3 compared to the PS3, and 1/4 to the 360. Now they will make money of course, but they will have to increase developement for a Wii version. Maybe Treyarch could do it, but...OK, let's face it, World at War on the Wii was a solid 7. They kicked out half of the features and the gfx engine they used sucked. Oh well.

2. Treyarch....oh Treyarch: If Treyarch does do it, then they should add all the features. Otherwise I'll end up buying it on PS3. World at War on the Wii was a downgraded port. They took out Nazi Zombies, some online features, and DLC from the Wii version of World at War. Especially since Nazi Zombies is AWESOME. So what they will do with Modern Warfare??? I want all the features!!!!!!


At least Beenox won't work on it.


Why It Should:

1.Controls: The controls for this version would be the best of all three versions. Dual-analog is a thing of the past. MotionPlus is the way of the future.

2. Sales: It won't sale as much as the PS3 and 360 version, but it will sell at least 1.20 million. Especially with all the features if they do it right.

NOTE: It will sell slowly....like MadWorld and Call of Duty: WaW.

3. Final reason why it should. I don't want to see a gap between Call of Duty releases on the Wii. It just shouldn't happen. Read the chart.

unfortuantely there is no open zone for blogs. Kinda stinks. However interesting points. It has always seemed wird to mee that dev don't seem to think a fps that isn't wwII can be done on wii. It's a game I think they can do it.

[outlawlife]

the game would suffer a great deal on wii, not to mention infinity ward isn't a big developer, treyarch is a gigantic game farm(they released world wat war on every single platform available)

the credits on WAW are about 4 times the size as COD4 because treyarch is a company whose purpose is to crank out games as fast as possible

infinity ward have just enough people to develop the 360/ps3 version because they can share assets such as models, textures, etc

on the wii they can't push the same high poly models, large procedural textures which means they need to do extra leg work

too much modification to the game itself means more time and collapse of the original vision

another point to this is that a good portion of the focus on this game is the multiplayer, the online multiplayer which just is not the wiis strong point

so you would get half the game as the other consoles, arguably something they do not want to create, and a possible delay to the versions of the game everybody is waiting for

and as a wii gamer why would you want a game that is only have of what it could be? a game the developer doesn't even want to make?

the quality would be low, the sales would be low, and it just wouldnt be worth it

i'd rather not see the modern warfare 2 name put on a crippled game for wii, i'd rather see somebody develop an original game specifically meant for wii

[SpoonyRedMage]

I agree with you there, Infinity Ward isn't big enough to do it.

I also agree that I'd rather someone else develop a title specifically for the Wii and making it unique, it could still me Call of Duty. Like what EA are doing with Need For Speed. Shift on PS3/360 and Nitro for the Wii.

If you look for other games that are good on the wii and are not doing 2 good cuz its M rated like mad world.

[SinnedNogara]

Call of Duty 3 and World at War have sold over 1 million units....and Resident Evil 4. But they sell slowly. MadWorld was released recently. And due to the game's style, it repelled a lot of gamers wanting a game like this. And not every hardcore game sells a million on PS3 and 360. Dead Space flopped in it's initial release, but it sold slowly and built up to 1 million on both systems.

[Kleptic]

I agree...there simply isn't that much of a market for this game on the Wii...and IW isn't the big multiplat developer a lot of people think it is...although the DS version of cod 4 was a bit strange...

to the OP though...not sure what you mean by 'procedural' textures...the 360 can't do that, either...and the PS3 only on paper so far...thats that change over time 4D stuff Kutaragi went nuts about in 2005...tech demos and tests have shown the PS3's CPU could scream at it...and that the 360 couldn't touch it...but its a very expensive process that creates a very subtle effect...which equals...not worth it...to most developers anyway...but you won't see any multiplatform games using this until next generation...and may never see a PS3 game do it either...

[potenquatro]

But I think it would be too costly for all the wrong reasons.

[TheBand1t]

I concured on everything but controls. That's a subjective opinion.

[TheColbertinator]

Some games are not meant for certain consoles.I prefer Cod on PC and 360 but if a Wii version arrived I would not care too much.Its up to High Voltage to deliver that FPS defining game on Wii.

[II Necroplasm II]

No war game of any nature should even be on the Wii.

[peeps]

was COD:waw online on the wii. the only reason i ask is because COD's single player is good, but it's short. You tend to find most people who buy COD are buying it to play online. The wii obv isn't exactly known for it's online capabilities and so i doubt if i personally owned a wii would bother with COD on the wii for playing a short campaign with 'last gen graphics' (yes i know graphics arnt everything) just to use motion controls.

So really what i'm saying, is COD really worth it on the wii. You may have 'better controls, although it's a matter of opinion. But in every other respect the experience is watered down.

I've gotta be honest, most multi-plat games you see go to wii as well just seem to be a cheap cash in

[Rock_On_PS4]

They are too small of a company and they would not have the time to make a scaled down gimped version of the game which would look shoddy in comparison to X360/PS3/PC versions of the games. Large companies such as Capcom, EA, Ubisoft, etc can eaily make gimped rail shooters of HD multiplat blockbuster games for the Wii.

[oldsnayke]

How about no? They're not going to, even if you get down on your hands and knees and beg. It's just not a good investment for them. They'll get so much more support from the 360 and PS3, and next to none from the Wii. The Wii is a bunch of casual gamers who really don't care about story or plot or gameplay, etc. They just want to play a temporary game for fun and relaxation, while hardcore gamers will play the online to the extreme and convince more and more people to buy it.

Copied and Pasted from my previous comment above.

P.S: Your picture is creepy.

[theonlylolking]

High voltage could just give infinity ward there engine and then MW2 can be made off of that. It will sale if it does that and anyways its call of duty it will sale no matter what console it is on. Even the PS1 0_o.
