Call of Duty on the Wii & Wii U game comparison

Here I am playing Call of Duty on the Wii U. Unfortunately, Activision realized early on that the Wii U was trash so the console only got two games. Maybe if you had bought a copy, Advanced Warfare would have been brought over. Anyway, due to Bo2 and Ghosts being pretty much the same on the different versions I decided to also include Black Ops 1 on the Wii so you can see the Jurassic difference.
00:00 Intro
00:51 Black Ops 1 (Wii)
7:52 Black Ops 1 Zombies (Wii)
12:23 Black Ops 2 (Wii U)
19:45 Black Ops 2 Multiplayer (Wii U)
21:22 Black Ops 2 Zombies (Wii U)
22:19 Ghosts (Wii U)
25:55 Ghosts Extinction (Wii U)
26:34 Conclusion

[@austinblack7991]

Actually the Wii U versions of black ops 2 and ghosts did get dlc but it was only nuketown 2025 and free fall

[@rustyreap4297]

Facts I got ghosts and BO2 day 1

[@riddle_me_this9127]

Despite the downgrades, BO1 on Wii is 100% BO1. It's impressive how Treyarch managed to port not only BO1 but WaW, MW1 and MW3 on a weaker console while keeping the soul of that games intact. And their super fun to play too

[@gingeralebean5375]

Playing Kino with my “allies” on the Wii was so much fun. I genuinely felt heartbroken when my Wii randomly stopped working one day. I still remember their usernames :(

"Aren't We forgeting about something?" "If You forgot that means it wasn't important" Call Of Duty 3 for the Nintendo Wii: 😥

[@riddle_me_this9127]

@@alface935 I did not forget about it actually but CoD3 was released even for PlayStation 2, so making the Wii version was surely easier. But for unknown reasons PS2 version has online multiplayer while Wii version doesn't

[@alface935]

​@@riddle_me_this9127 True it is missing the Multiplayer on the Nintendo Wii Treyarch probably looked at the Nintendo Wii and thought "This is just a Gamecube so it has no Online so no need to make Multiplayer for Wii" since the Gamecube didn't have Online (Phantasy Star Online was the only game in the Gamecube to use the Broadband adapter to play Online) and because of that Call Of Duty 2 Big Red One in the Gamecube also didn't have Multiplayer and the same goes to Call Of Duty Finest Hour in the Gamecube also didn't have Multiplayer Not even Local Splitscreen Multiplayer for Finest Hour, 2 Big Red One for Gamecube and 3 for Wii which is just sad :(

8:11 Wii CoD Servers got shut down on August 1st 2023, It's nothing to do with the console you play on or your internet

[@LHeyMX]

not sure if anybody mentioned this but the song easter egg in zombies was added in via a patch that was available in the Wii Shop channel a week after the game released. It also fixed some bugs, like the Mystery Box creepy speech and the thunder gun reload animation

[@TheApacheNinja]

The way you present these games in side by sides to the best you can to match them up together is really well done! These are some of the least talked about versions of these games and you managed to show more comparisons than most channels with thousands of subs have before! Really nice work and really well edited.

[@devourrenegade]

I will never forget my time on Black Ops on the wii. From the gecko coders to custom gamemodes in private matches, and that pdp headset that always broke. lol

[@LegoDude91k]

It’s crazy how good the Wii U port of bo2 looks!

[@Dagoodtree]

Because it has more power than a ps3 bud

[@LuckiestDanPer]

​@Dagoodtree Ain't no way you just said it's more powerful than the ps3 💀 it just doesn't have the filter, not to mention the fact the ps3 had native Linux support called "OtherOS" before they removed it to kill off the ps3. But the WiiU absolutely does NOT have as much power as the ps3.

[@tonybean642]

​@@LuckiestDanPerthe Wii U does actually have slightly more power as both the PS3 and Xbox 360 but not by much.

[@LuckiestDanPer]

@tonybean642 Perhaps it has better dev tools or isn't as hard to develop for. Gabe Newell (Valve Creator) said that he hated PS3's because they were hard to develop for. At the time, 4 Core processors were brand new and weren't in consoles. But the WiiU definitely did not have as much power.

[@DreddLypso]

@@LuckiestDanPer bruh do you not know how much ram the ps3 has vs the wii u bro.

[@pchtommy1268]

20:16 Ah yes, the classic experience is finally back.

[@coreymunn2530]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane man I played these before the normal versions so for the longest time this was all I knew

[@gingeralebean5375]

As a kid I actually really enjoyed the loading screens before cutscenes, because it unintentionally added a lot of suspense as to what’s gonna happen next

[@MrGoldeneye617]

I love treyarch for bringing bo1 to the wii…was the only way to play for people who couldnt afford the other options. Sure it had less content but what they acomplished with what they had to work with is so amazing to me. Good Video mate

[@Davonius]

Oh man i threw this on my second monitor for just some background listening, and had no idea it was made by such a small channel. This is really well made man! keep it up!

Cod 3 was one of the Wii’s launch titles

[@LegoDude91k]

[@alface935]

7:57 It was a sad day in 2023 Back in 2014 Nintendo shut down all Their Digital Stores (DSI Store and Wii Shop Channel) and Online Servers for all games (DS and Wii) that used Nintendo Servers with that the Multiplayer of Call Of Duty 5 World At War was taking down Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 1, Call Of Duty 7 Black Ops 1, Call Of Duty 8 Modern Warfare 3 remained safe because They were Activision servers and not Nintendo servers but that was only a Curse In Disguise Because in 2023 Activision fixed the Servers for the Call Of Duty games (It wasn't just Call Of Duty either a lot of the Xbox 360 Library was fixed to work again too) on the Xbox 360 which was great to see But in 2023 Activision also decided to shut down the Online Servers for MW1, BO1 and MW3 on the Nintendo Wii Making it only Black Ops 2 and Ghost on the Nintendo Wii U the only remaining games (As of March 2024) that still have Their Online Servers still turn on But Nintendo will shut down Their Online Servers in April of 2024 so I would recommend keeping a eye for that since I don't know if thoses Call Of Duty games on the Wii U run in Nintendo servers or Activision servers so keep a eye for that and stay safe

[@NexTheGreat]

My first campaign play through of BO1 was on the Wii, and even though I watched my father play the PS3 version (before I got a hold of the X360 one) I NEVER noticed it was THAT different.

[@hivoltage2616]

Best of luck on growing your channel. Great video👍

[@fg1astro824]

I played bo2 on wii u! still my favorite cod ❤️ wii u could barely do zombies at round 20

[@ugandanknuckles6586]

Where it all started for me. Black Ops 2 on the Wii U. The Wii U Pro Controller remains my favorite fps controller TO THIS DAY. Both thumbsticks in THE PRIME POSITION.

[@MavicAVF]

Seeing a target finder weapon in bo2’s first mission is really cursed

[@scpnoobers]

I wish Cod bo2 never scrapped the dlc. There was even a hidden “store” option that even shows dlc 1.

[@lemonke7156]

Man, all the memories of having to "forget" my ps3 gamer tag at school because of how embarrassing it would've been to say i have bo2 on the wiiu. Such great memories of playing bo2 and ghost on my wiiu, though i wish they released the season pass for both

[@Stewberto]

19:55 best part of the video, genuinely happy ppl still play cod on the WII❤️.

[@alface935]

Question: Remember Ghost having 4 Modes (Campain, Multiplayer, Squads and Extinting) Does the Wii U version also have it Squads?

[@TheMasterOfSafari]

You needed a patch to play CoD BO1 and MW3 Online on the Wii, you could get it easily on a Homebrew Wii, but unfortunately the servers were fully shutdown last year with the message "The Online Service for this software has been shutdown, Thanks for playing!" :(

I actually got my start on COD with WAW on the Wii, which lacked the zombies. We only had the Wii until we got a 360 and MW3 in 2011. Getting WAW on Xbox years later was insane, considering the differences between the versions.

The first cod i personally owned was MW3 on the Wii played the shit out of that game. I will say Wii U graphics were a BIG step up for the wii.

[@rodrigocarlos-co1my]

Cool intro bro 😂😂

[@dariusdafigga]

Props to the studios for making it happen, but I feel like Call of Duty is just a game that is not meant for the Wii. I know CoD was at its peak during the time but I can’t imagine they made THAT much more revenue from the ports. People weren’t buying Wii’s so that they could play shooting games on them. They bought them not only for Wii Sports, but to play some of Nintendo’s best family fun games. Smash Bros & Mario Party have to be the most fun games I have ever played on Nintendo consoles.

[@James-bh5md]

20:16 Average cod lobby experience lol

[@Aleweyxd]

The ee song do work on the wii , you just needed to update the game (Which is impossible since the Wii store closed) the update fixed that problem and some others like one with the thundergun

[@alface935]

21:15 Playing with the Globe while the game searches for a Lobby sounds fun to Me 💁🏼‍♀️ Globe goes spin spin >:)

[@alface935]

5:31 To be honestly I am surprised it even have it the same Atmosphere and Energy as the other Ports in the first place

[@MoonSarito]

Considering that the Wii's hardware was basically just a more powerful Game Cube it's kinda impressive that they managed to port the exact same game with the same engine and gameplay, Modern Warfare 3 even has updates and voice-chat on the Wii. The Wii U CODs are great but not that impressive considering the Wii U was more powerful than the PS3/X360 in terms of hardware, it's a shame that poor sales meant they didn't receive as much support, I would love to see like Black Ops 3 would be in it.

[@frossy365]

Fire video ! But imo wii is its own console with the GameCube hardware included!

[@oOTheMastaOo240]

He meant that the wii has the same power as the GameCube since they use mostly the same parts

25:55 That also happended to the Online Multiplayer for Black Ops 1 and Modern Warfare 3 for the Nintendo Wii since both got a Free Update Patch in its life cycle in the Wii Shop Channel but that is down so people didn't download that in time would now need to Soft Modded Their Wii's so that They can download off the Internet and put in Their Wii's and install from there

[@xer0360]

The issue with you not being able to find an online match isn't a Wii-U issue. I'm not sure you if you knew but all the global servers for just the Wii aswell as the DS were shut down way back in May of 2014 so even if you were to try COD or any other game on the Wii it will not work. You can't even buy games from the Wii Shop anymore. However there are active groups who brought the servers back using third party tools so you might have a chance to play online with that, your only issue from there is finding people to play the Wii ports of COD with.

[@NotSolidSnake-]

Wii CoDs (apart from WaW) didn't use Nintendo's servers (used activisions) so they were still playable just fine past the 2014 shutdown, till the servers were shut offline entirely last year by ATVI. Wiimfii isn't able to support the Wii CoDs either
