More evidence that Nintendo’s new system will get its own version of the next Call of Duty.
A Wii U version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 appears on the resume of an Activision quality assurance tester. According to the LinkedIn page of a tester named Randall, QA testing for Black Ops II has been in the works since May, and his responsibilities included “QA testing on PS3 and Wii U, multiplayer testing while collaborating with team, ad hoc testing, and regression. Bug writing, research, and documentation are performed with each issue that is found.”
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard rumors about a Wii U version of Black Ops II, but marks the closest thing so far to official confirmation. Back in June, magazine scans suggested that Wii U would receive Black Ops II before Christmas 2012, and video game analyst Michael Pachter recently theorized that Nintendo developed its Wii U Pro controller specifically to convince Activision to make a Wii U version of Call of Duty.
The last few Call of Duty games have come to Wii, including Modern Warfare 3 and the original Black Ops. Treyarch’s previous game, Call of Duty: World at War, also received a Wii version.
For now, Call of Duty: Black Ops II has only been announced for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 & PC and is set to launch on November 13th. We’ve reached out to Activision for clarification about a Wii U version.
