It appears that Call of Duty 4 will be finally heading to the Wii after being out for over a year on it’s competition. While I understand that graphical prowess needed to actually create a decent port would probably one of the stumbling blocks for anyone trying to port the game, you have to wonder why this hadn’t happened yet. Case and point being that a port of the game had already been released on Nintendo DS. The popularity of the title alone, combined with the desire to actually shoot people with a Wiimote gun must have struck someone as a good idea early on. So why hadn’t we seen it before now?

Well, one reason could be that Infinity Ward isn’t a Wii development team. I have a hard time believing that that was the only reason though. It just makes me curious as to why they hadn’t out-sourced the job prior to this. Finally, Treyarch took up the cause and got the port finished. It should be hitting stores on November 10th, in conjunction with the launch of Modern Warfare 2 on the other major consoles. The game hasn’t been rated by the ESRB, but I can only imagine it’d get the same rating as it’s next-gen counterparts, and that’s, of course, M for mature. The rating aside, it’s a wonderful title which I’ve spent many hours playing. Sure it’s got some graphic content, but it’s a game about war. I’d think that’d go without saying. If you enjoy first person shooters, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy if you haven’t already.
