“Nintendo Co Ltd. President Satoru Iwata will interview Activision CEO Bobby Kotick as they review all the amazing games Activison will bring to Wii U and Nintendo 3DS platforms from Call of Duty Ghosts …”
Has the next Call of Duty been confirmed for Wii U yet? I don’t care for the series myself, but it would be nice since Activisions future plans for the Wii U seem to be uncertain.
May 19, 2013
I don’t remember if it has been official confirmed but there have been enough reports to assume it will be coming to the Wii u.
May 19, 2013
this could be possible, if its true then this e3 will be one of the best for nintendo in years. hype at max
May 19, 2013
I hope that most (if not, all) of the rumors are indeed true. Who needs a large audience when the Big N drops the biggest bomb since E3 2011.
May 19, 2013
Based on these rumors it sounds like there are going to be a ton of new games announced for both the Wii U and 3DS. I am so excited to be going there and covering the news with the rest of the PN team.

Sounds too good to be true, but if they do that many broadcasts it’s gonna be AWESOME.
June 2, 2013
A Smash Bros. Direct? Sounds too good to be true.
