Preview in Official Nintendo Magazine adds more fuel to the fire
Prior to the Xbox One unveiling, Activision said that ithad no newsconcerningCall of Duty: Ghostson next-gen platforms, in response to a question about a Wii U version. Then PS4 and Xbox One versions were confirmed, yet Wii U was once again left out of the loop for the sake of “mystery.” Later,Ghostsproducer Mark Rubin clarified that hecouldn’t clarifythe existence of a Wii U build.
Now here comes British publicationOfficial Nintendo Magazinewith a full-page spread aboutGhostson Wii U. Furthermore, the story states that Infinity Ward, which has typically handed off porting duties of itsCall of Dutygames to Treyarch, is handling the Wii U version in-house. Is this really real confirmation? I don’t see why ONM would just guess at this, even though it makes zero sense for the game to skip the platform.
Call of Duty: Ghostson Wii U has become the Schrödinger’s cat of the Fall software lineup — depending on who you ask, it exists and doesn’t exist at the same time. And I can’t see how this confusion is doing anyone any favors. If Activision was so afraid of getting a poor return, why not just do what most other developers are doing and drop Wii U plans entirely? Because as it stands, even if a Wii U version were confirmed tomorrow, all the focus has already been placed on the other platforms. How can we trust Activision to give just as much exposure to an afterthought?
