Call of Duty: Black Ops Wii Gets New Details, Will Feature Zombie Co-Op

Call of Duty: Black Ops on the Nintendo Wii has just been detailed by its senior producer, and it seems that the version will have almost all of the features seen in the full pledged PC, PlayStation 3 Xbox 360 editions, including multiplayer, co-operative missions and the special Zombies mode

couple of big leaks happened this week concerning Call of Duty: Black Ops on the high definition platforms, one detailing the co-op Zombies mode and the other the Dead Ops arcade co-op mode.

Now, Activision decided to throw in a few official details about the Wii version, through the voice of Anna Donlon, the senior producer for this specific version of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Donlon revealed that the Wii version of the highly anticipated shooter will be a full pledged title, with a complete single-player mode, 5v5 multiplayer and co-operative modes, including the Zombies one.

"We're giving the fans the full single-player storyline, with huge maps and an amazing story that I think will really blow them away," she said. "We're also back with 5v5 multiplayer, all maps and all game modes, including the newly introduced Wager Matches and Contracts."

According to Donlon, Treyarch pulled out the stops for the online modes, too. "We pushed things a little harder this year, and can now confirm that the Wii version will have online Co-Op. We're doing this through Black Ops' new Combat Training mode and of course... zombies. That's right, 4-player Co-Op Zombies will have its debut on the Wii this year."

Besides all of these new great features, the Treyarch executive also revealed that headset support will be included for all online modes, thanks to the Headbanger headset, as well as support for the Classic Controller Pro, for those that don't want to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in the game.

Those that are fearing that the multiplayer modes in Black Ops for the Wii will require them to input friend codes over and over again needn't worry, as a new Allies system has been implemented.

"We've created a new "Allies" system that allows you to invite recent players to be your allies for text messaging, game invites and more without a need for code exchanges. We have more player customization in Create a Class than ever before and we have enhanced party privacy options for players who want to set up their private matches with a little more control over who they allow in."

It seems that Call of Duty: Black Ops will be offering a great experience no matter the platform.

GoldenEye 007 Wii launch trailer

Finally! After years of so-so Bond efforts, Virtual Console let-downs and shit, shameless rip-offs, proper GoldenEye is with us and, as we listen to the original N64 soundtrack on YouTube the very minute, we bring you the below launch trailer.

LOOK! It's that dam section. Ooh, and there's the new Surface level. Oh, and there's... just watch it. It's Daniel Craig's face instead of the blatantly slicker, more Bond-like Pierce Brosnan, but only in cutscenes - it's an FPS game. We can deal with that.

GoldenEye will make a killing

Activision thinks upcoming FPS can be one of the year's best-sellers on Wii

Move over Mario – James Bond is going to be the top dog on Wii this year.

Activision claims the new GoldenEye will rival hits like Mario Galaxy 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Wii Party, Donkey Kong and Epic Mickey.

“Our expectations are that GoldenEye 007 will be one of the best-selling games for the year on the Wii,” said David Tyler, general manager for the firm’s Licensed Business Unit.

GoldenEye 007 is a re-imagining of the film and the classic N64 game, which includes new sections, modes and gameplay. It will be available as a standalone game or bundled with a gold Classic Controller Pro on Wii.

Actor Daniel Craig has lent his likeness to the game, which mark Bond’s return to video games.
