Infinity Ward have now confirmed that Modern Warfare 2 will not be coming to the Wii, despite impressive sales of WaW version on the console.

"The game is also slated for PC and PS3. Repeating an inquiry from last week, I asked about whether there would be a Call of Duty brand property or a Modern Warfare for Wii this year — given the million-plus sales of 2008's CoD: World At War on the Wii. An Activision rep in attendance confirmed that there are no plans for MW2 to come to Nintendo's system"

Ah, that sucks for Wii players I guess.

Seems like a pretty stupid move, considering the sales of the first. Ah well, whatcha gonna do . . .

I expected as much. Still, that does kinda suck for those who wanted it to come to the Wii. I guess they'll have to wait for the next Call of Duty game by Treyarch, seeing as they're the ones who have brought the series to the Wii in the past.

It would be an inferior version in my opinion, as are most ports to the Wii.

Finally a confirmation, ending the debate. Good. I would have played it as World At War benefited greatly from the controls (The flamethrower!), but that's fine by me. The world can do with less Call of Duty.

It would be an inferior version in my opinion, as are most ports to the Wii.

A quick check-up on the console libraries and Metacritic showed that
1.The Wii does not have a larger amount of ports and multiplats; multiplats on PS3, 360 are of course much more frequent
2. In 90% of cases, Sports games are rated significantly higher on the Wii
3. I counted slightly more than 30 ports/multiplats. Out of those,
--- 9 were rated highest on the Wii
--- 5 were rated lowest on the Wii

Wii ports equal or above their other console counterparts in score include: Call of Duty: World At War, The Force Unleashed, Godfather, Bully, all Rock Bands and Guitar Heroes, Broken Sword, Medal of Honor, Tomb Raider, All NPC titles, all GCN ports, all PSP ports and of course all sports games.

There aren't many multiplats on the consoles, and out of those, more than 2/3 are rated equal or higher on the Wii.

NOOOOOOO   I guess I have to this game on my 360 now......   lol

Not surprised one bit. Well, I was going to play it on 360 anyway.

As a tradition, I always get a CoD copy on PC above all others. I will get the 360 version later though.

Not surprised. CoD:WaW Wii version was too limited in my opinion. I think they just didn't want to limit the players on the Wii with the content they can put on the Wii.

Infinity Ward hates having their game farmed out to Treyarch, so why would they want to give Modern Warfare 2 to someone else so they can make a mediocre Wii version?

Yes!! thats awesome! Infinity ward isn't whoring off a great game to a sleazy console!

I agree.  Everytime I pass my Wii, it opens its slot in some sleazy way to entice me to put something in it.  I relent, how can I say no to that little white box.  :-) "

WAW came out on the Wii? Holy crap, I didn't even know!

-sigh- Would you like me  to do the list of ports and show you how many are rated equally or higher than their counterparts? Should I ask how many ports you actually played on the console? "

if you seriously think the MW2 port for the Wii is even POSSIBLE, you are retarded. It would be a downgraded version and most likely a half assed one at that. Ports like RE4 on the Wii were amazing (and possible). This is impossible with the Wii's hardware.  "

Let's face it unless it's a Modern Warfare 2 mini games collection like grenade juggling or bayonette waving, what's the point?

damn i wanted to play it on my wii so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad !!

Call of Duty on the WII? Talking about retro gaming jeeez. You'd have to bo be some stubborn son of a bitch to be willing to play that shit while your friends are playing it in gorgeous graphics on their 360/Ps3's

Anyone who says ports to the Wii are better then the original is a dumbass... seriously.

I'll put this as simple as possible, the Wii's hardware is inferior, so that gets worse, the Wii controllers has less button, so that gets worse, that's it, it can't be better.

Oh and just incase this is all very confusing for you, if a Wii version has different/new stuff then you can't call it a port. A port is simply when they take a game, put it on another platform and remove stuff to make it fit on the console, when they start adding stuff, whether it's motion controls or a map or anything else, then they are doing more then just porting a game.

As for this game, if they wanted to make the game on the Wii, then they could either port it which simply could not be better then the PC/360/PS3 version, or they could modify the game to make it good for on the Wii.

So you're saying all ports are worse and that almost no ports actually exist on the Wii since almost all of them add something like motion controls at the very least. Lol. What do you call it just because it has pointer controls then, a remake? Lol.

Anyway, nobody said ports are better, some said however they prefer ports. You know, much like people here prefer the 360 or PS3 version of something because they prefer sticks over mouse, or simply because that's the platform they own. It makes sense, no? Despite the PC version being superior in graphics (especially since most 360 owners game on SD TVs), the keyboard having tons more keys than buttons, the mouse more speed and precision, etc. Yeah, people can feel free to prefer that and not care for compromises. Guess what, Wii owners can act similarly and prefer elements of a Wii version despite its shortcomings. But hey, let's hang and ridicule them for that, for acting like any gamer out there. Lol.

Why does every post involving a wii devolve in to trolling?

FANBOYS, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!'

But, i dont mind, i actually have a computer that can run modern warfare, so im going to get it for that, but when i had my old computer, i turned to WAW for wii, and loved it. I sorta wish they went ahead with it anyways, i have relatives who would love a good shooter for the wii.

It doesn't deserve to be on the Wii

Oh really?

Unless you only own a Wii I don't think anybody would care. People that own multiple consoles will get it for the PS3/360.

dang, that sucks for wii gamers. meh, it's alright i think most of the people who play video games that have a wii have something else that they play.

it saves wii users the agony of playing through a half-assed version of a great game. 

I could care less, but it sucks for those who were looking forward to it.

I think it is mainly because of the Wii's shaky online service, which, unfortunately for Wii owners, is the major selling point for the game.
