Wii version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 inbound

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011 at 9:31pm by Eugene
Arguably the most anticipated title to be released this year is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The predecessors to Modern Warfare 3 have done rather well on the Wii, but until today it was unconfirmed whether the newest  entry in the franchise would find its way onto a Nintendo platform. Worry no more, Modern Warfare 3 is Wii-bound.

In an investor’s conference call, Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg confirmed, “We will release a Modern Warfare 3 Wii SKU this year.” Seeing as how Call of Duty: Black Ops has sold a copy or two, it’s no wonder that Hirshberg says the decision to make a Wii version was, “so as to not leave any of the community out of the excitement.”

While I am not a huge fan of the Call of Duty franchise, I certainly welcome the effort put forth by publishers to bring triple A titles to Wii. Even if it is a dumbed down port.

If you plan on picking up Modern Warfare 3, will Wii be the platform you purchase it for?

Cool-looking Wii headset sold separately for Call of Duty: Black Ops

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010 at 10:48am by Dan

For $25 bucks, this thing looks pretty cool (also available in white). Since the upcoming Call of Duty Black Ops for Wii supports both online multiplayer and voice chat, is this something you’d be interested in picking up? And are you buying Call of Duty: Black Ops? (It was one of my favorite games of E3, btw. New trailer after the break.) (more…)

Modern Warfare Wii screenshots raise eyebrows at Joystiq

Joystiq's analysis of Wii Screenshots
Joystiq’s Justin McElroy found something funny in COD4:MW Wii Screenshots

Although it should come as no surprise that the Wii port of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will lack some graphical depth in comparison with the 360, ps3, and PC counterparts, someone at Activision must be worried about it.  Joystiq’s Justin McElroy noticed some apparent photoshop work in recently released screenshots.  An added enemy corpse here, an unrealistically rendered plume of smoke there, and… well, you have a few screenshots that really don’t look any better, and leave us puzzled.

Activision’s motives for these apparent hack-jobs are unclear, but hopefully they’ll drop whatever angle they are on now and just focus on giving us a solid port of COD4 with a decent framerate and graphics somewhat comparable to playing the PC version on lowest settings.
