Nintendo just confirmed via their official Wii U Facebook page that Call of Duty: Ghosts will be launching alongside the other platforms on November 5th. Nintendo had this to say about the game: “On 11/5, Call of Duty: Ghosts arrives on Wii U with an all-new world, story, and powerful next-gen engine.”

I would imagine we’ll see GamePad specific features that will be revealed at a later date but it’s nice to see confirmation well ahead of the November launch.  One of the interesting aspects to this announcement is that the Wii U version will launch the same date as the 360/PS3.  All I can say is it’s about time a 3rd party Wii U game launched the same time as other platform versions.  I think we’ll see Wii U numbers for the title a lot higher than last year when COD: Black Ops II Wii U was released 2 weeks later.  There is also the benefit of having more Wii U owners in the market as well.
