Nintendo's choice of Audio configuration is more than disappointing. Not only on new titles but also on previous ones. An example is COD Black Ops. On previous counsel, Dolby Prologic was passed providing an all around encompassing sound environment where one could locate the source location. Now, the best one can do is set Wii U to stereo and let your receiver do some enhancement. Not even close to previous results.
I am sure this applies to other titles.
I have expressed my disappointment to Nintendo, I hope all of you will do the same.
