The Japanese release of the Wii U port is only the dubbed version since the console was not available in Japan in November.

Black Ops II is the first game in the Call of Duty franchise to feature future warfare technology and the first to present branching storylines driven by player choice. It also offers a 3D display option. A corresponding game, Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified, was released simultaneously on the PlayStation Vita. Within 24 hours of going on sale, the game grossed over $500 million, beating 2011's Modern Warfare 3 to become the biggest entertainment launch of all time. It went on to sell 7.5 million copies in the U.S. in November 2012, making it the highest grossing game of the month.
The game is the first in the series to feature significant elements of nonlinear gameplay, most notably multiple endings.
