National Report is supposedly a (bad) satire news site.
The guy in the picture is actually from a different case, in which he killed a toddler and got 25 to life.

Seriously!? God dammit, all these news sites putting fake fucking news for more publicity, pathetic.

How's that? The game has been Nintendo exclusive for ages and the Wii version is completely playable on the Wii U. I honestly don't care for the HD not being on Wii U, I'm just glad it's going to be available on more platforms now.

Not really. From what I've heard the Wii U sales were so bad they aren't even planning on releasing the next CoD on Wii U.


RE: Gaming news - CLXcool - 08-30-2014

To each their own I suppose. But Its making a few of my friends angry.


RE: Gaming news - Mass Distraction - 08-30-2014

It's just an HD port. They could just as well get the Wii version and play it on the Wii U.

If it is a satire site to begin with obviously the news on the site are going to be fake.

I don't know. I said the same thing about Assassin's creed, Batman, and Call of Duty, and those seem to have sold well enough. Why makes you think that the fans wouldn't play it on Wii U? Seems like it would sell if Crapcom would do it.

True and I do think everyone should play those games, but they did sell the worst on the Wii U and actually had some serious performance issues. I think it's important to note that this isn't Capcoms fault. it's Nintendos and their lack of communication to third party companies with some of them stating they won't develop for the system in the future or consider it a worth while task.
Again, I think everyone should experience these games but it's on Nintendo.

That's what I would have done if I was Capcom.......... or Nintendo......... or anyone else who wants to celebrate an anniversary without trying really hard.

I thought that qoute was too assholeish, even for "We don't care about our fans any more" Capcom.

I never heard any thing bad about the ports so I assumed that people liked them. Really, I liked the idea of the Wii U, but as a student of programing, I always knew that it was going to be a pain in the ass if they wanted to port games (like most of the release titles were).

That being said, Ubisoft must not be too mad, since Rayman Legends was intended for the Wii U, but ported for everything which pushed back release date.

What? The "news" in the link didn't even have anything to do with Capcom?

Whether people liked them or not doesn't really matter if the sales were bad. There's no point in porting to a system that doesn't sell.

Microsoft paid them. A lot. Even that is only a timed exclusivity, happens all the time with Xbox.

Really interesting and insightful videos on the matter
There's so much more out there but those are just some examples.
Poor Wii U (still gonna be buying one though)

Really hope I didn't post another fake...

Anyway if this article is true I'm happy game developers understand. As much as I have mixed opinions on Anita Sarkeesian I personally believe that all these rape threats she gets is just very immature. If you don't agree with what she does then have a productive conversation about it, state why you disagree with her info don't put a comment like "Ur a bitch cause u talked bout ma game n a bad way".
