Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on the Wii U has received a patch and we have the entire notes for you below. This patch is specific to the Wii U version and won’t be released for the other platforms, however, there may be some fixes that did carry over.
The game was a launch title for the Wii U and the player count is a bit on the low side but that’s understandable considering not a lot of people have the system and the install base is on the lower side. Nintendo reported that there were 3 million Wii U’s out in the wild, so expecting the game to sell a lot over the first party Nintendo games is absurd.
The patch notes were originally posted here.
