Somewhat surprised but i guess that since COD5 also came out on the Wii there really is no reason for this not to happen. I really hope that they will not leave about half the content there is out of this version as happened to COD5 this time...

Ugh.

Not going to be worth the powder to blow it to hell. Unfortunately. 

Well, so far all the CoDs have been great on the Wii, let's hope for the best with this one.

COD5 was rated and sold much better than expected despite the loss of content. Hopefully they'll do a better job now they have realised Wii is a viable platform for FPS games. I don't care if it's no better than 5 visually, but it should at least have all the modes and content, and of course the same DLC. We'll see how they do. I might get this for my Wii if it's feature complete, just to have a popular online game on it, I didn't even get 5 for my PC and even though I have 4 I don't spend much time on it.

Even if I had a Wii, I would buy it for PNS or XBL.

That's great, if you're into that kind of thing.

Seems like a natural fit.

Oh yea! I loved the first 2 games. Never could play the 4th one because I don't own a PS3 or a 360 and my laptop isn't powerful enough for the game. Can't wait to see what they will do with the Wii version.

if it did, i bet it won't sell that well.

Modern Warfare 2 is coming to the Wii!
...
...
As an on-rails shooter.

I'm sorry, but where exactly is there any confirmation that this is coming to the Wii?
Or put another way: Why is this site considered credible if they say that somewhere?

World at War is great on the Wii, both single- and multiplayer, and I'd love to see another one (motionplus just popped up in my head), but I can't see this getting a Wii release and NOT a PS2 release. PS2 is where the money's at - I don't believe they'd port it just for the Wii.

What Meowayne said.

Also if this is the case then I have no problem with it. People want to spend their money on that sort of thing then it's all good.

Is Infinity Ward making the Wii version?  If so, I'll be more than interested to see how they handle the game.  Given that IW never makes a bad shooter, I can only see good things coming from this.  = D

@Meo: Why is it impossible they'd handle this in a similar way to COD: WaW, having the main developer work on 3 SKUS (360, PS3, Wii) and a  second studio take on the PS2 version? Final Fronts wasn't the same game with some cut down content like the Wii version, it was a different game by a different studio, and sadly much much worse as well. Anyway, MW2 is not confirmed for the Wii, but Activision have talked about how they want  this to be the best selling fps or something, which to me indicates they're gonna try to release it on the Wii as well, and possibly market it more than WaW... We'll see what happens. I don't have much hope (well, I'd probably get it for PC anyway) but the reasoning behind the doubters isn't exactly flawless... The PS2's where the money's at and the Wii isn't? It would be silly to release it on the Wii and NOT the PS2, so it's so much safer to assume they'll just release it on neither? That doesn't make logical sense. WaW, for being such a cut down version, and one that didn't get that much publicity on the wake of the HD editions, both sold and rated quite well. How did Final Fronts do? Probably nowhere near as good, there's like 2 reviews on metascore, one good and one trashing it.

@godwind

No no no no no, this is completly false. Nowhere does it confirm CoD Modern Warfare 2 for the Wii. Nowhere on Gamebattles.com, nowhere on modernwarfare2.com, nowhere on the web.

Wii = on rails-shooter + mini game collection +waggle control + in 4:3 + in Mono + no online - fun 

Godwind: Still, no. Gamebattles can say  what they want, they're guessing. There's no word on a Wii  version or a PS2 version from the developer, in the official forums, in any press release, nothing. There's no additional dev working on a port. It may happen, but so far nothing at all is being done and nothing at all has been decided in regards to a Wii/PS2 version.

I still dunno why you keep saying Wii/PS2 version as if it would be the same. Even WaW Wii/PS2 versions weren't the same. Wii was a down-port from the other systems, PS2 was a ground up title from a different developer. If they ditched one of these for MW2 (if not both) it would be the latter. I'm not saying it's coming but yeah, it's possible. If it's not coming, they'll never achieve their "best selling FPS" or whatever goal they have.

Edit: By the way, no Wii logo on the official website, so it's not looking promising. Oh well, PC version for me. Revogamers claim to know it's coming to the Wii, but I don't really know how trustworthy of a website they have. Just assume the worst until they announce otherwise.

Cod 3 on the Wii was very WIik!  However, they developed a very solid WaW so a Modern Warfare Wii could be also be solid I guess.  I just haven't heard this anywhere else.

I bet it will work really well with the Wii's intuitive pick-up-and-play controlls :).

Yeah, I really doubt this is happening. I don't even know what that site is suppose to be, nor does it have any sources or anything to make me believe that is true. I really doubt that Infinity Ward would waste their time porting Modern Warfare 2 to the Wii.

Yes, it would be a waste of time to add another million or two (or a few more, depending on marketing) to their sales with little effort seeing as the engine is already up and running on the Wii thanks to WaW and they're bound to have low-res visuals in place for the PC version's options (even if they have to be further downsized). Or, it's not like Activision have other teams to take care of the porting if needed eh?

And no, I'm not saying it's coming, just that it's a possibility since they want it to be the best selling FPS or some crap like that, and missing the platform with 50% of the market is quite a big loss for such goals. As for that website, can you point to when they were actually wrong about a game coming to another platform? Do the same for revogamers who also claim they know it's coming to the Wii. I'm not saying any of these are reliable as I didn't know of them previously, but if you do so well, let us know how reliable sources they are please.

It would only mean more sales overall for the game.

But, personally, I think it's a bad idea gameplay-wise. After playing CoD5 for Wii, I can safely say I'd much rather play it on the 360 or another console.

And you could do just that whether they put it on the Wii or not... Tons of people prefer the Wii controls for FPS titles, with good reason.

SHITTY

There is zero proof of Modern Warfare 2 coming to the Wii. At least no proof that I have seen.

If you only have a Wii, then good for you. It is pretty much assured that the 360/PS3 will be better, but I am sure, if it is along the lines of COD: WaW, it will be solid.

It's also pretty much assured it will be better on the PC, you don't see me going in the 360 thread forums going all "even if I had a 360 I'd buy it for the PC" for every multi platform title or trashing exclusivity claims of many so called "360 gems" that I've been enjoying without owning the damn system. I dunno why anyone who doesn't have a Wii or doesn't care for MW2 on the Wii would come to post in this thread for no reason other than to state his console preferences. Was that what the thread was about and I somehow managed to miss it or what exactly is going on >_>

Edit: Not aimed @ u RHC btw, nice decent post there, just took your basic post and apply it on the obvious trolls that only come here to go all NOOO, IW would not do that, Wii is shit, MW2 on Wii would be shit, or whatever other crap they pull out of the wrong end...

No, sorry, I'd never buy a FPS on a PS360 instead of the PC even if I owned those. The differences are quite vast, even if you don't want to see them. The resolution and filtering alone is enough, but they're also bound to offer higher resolution textures and other enhancements you're free to call "minor" just as other people are free to prefer Wii controls over 360 graphics. I also love my mouse+kb. I'm glad that's settled.

World at War was a pretty shoddy port with a lot of removed content, no DLC capabilities, and many other extreme compromises given Treyarch is hardly competent and had to work on all three versions as opposed to having a different studio help with the porting, and perhaps dedicating some time to the re-creation of low-res assets instead of the near automatic downgrade process that makes everything look shit. Even with that, it did reach 1m sales last I read. A good port with some actual marketing and no lazy compromises but only the required ones could do far better.

And yeah, Wii software attach rate has grown a lot and is often only second to the 360 depending on the monthly releases. Sales of given titles cannot be compared since the Wii has not had a high profile high budget third party release as of now. In Japan Monster Hunter 3 (this August) will be the very first. Other companies like Square and Namco have titles in the pipeline. In the West however, things are bad, if slowly changing.

Edit: I never said multi platform owners should rush and buy Wii versions of titles they prefer in HD. No argument here, one does what one wants.

It would be interesting to play on the Wii I might would get it only if it was given to me as a gift. 

Not happening.

I understand buying it on the Wii if that's all you have....but who else would?
