Batman: Arkham Origins multiplayer mode revealed, not coming to Wii U

Multiplayer is WAY overrated and quite frankly simply does not belong in certain games - this being one of them. If the Wii U version is visually superior, I'd much rather use the GamePad to quickly switch weapons/gadgets, plant explosives, a better map etc. People loved the first 2 games in this trilogy because of the great story, graphics and gameplay. I'm sick of this idea that developers feel they have to shoehorn in multiplayer into games that don't need it or in games where it's just way out of place. I'll be buying the Wii U version and enjoying the hell out of it while also enjoying a sandwich and cold drink prepared by a sandwich artist with the extra $10 I saved.

poor wii-U someone throw them a bone please this is embarrassing

Ah, took another shit on Nintendo did we? Guess thats why ti's called the Pii-U

and developers are complaining they aren't selling many copies , i wonder why...............

Some of the comments on the Wii U Miiverse. https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAACNUKEXzRvTdA

Here are some good points:
"I really want to support third-party Nintendo titles, but I can't if they're treating Nintendo's customers as if they're inferior to the other guys' customers."

"More backwards logic: "No one's supporting the platform! So we won't support the platform.""

"And then they wonder why the Wii U version doesn't sell... It's a self-fulfilling prophecy."

"Not going to sell too well on the wii U. They wonder why 3rd party titles don't sell well on Nintendo consoles when they do stuff like this."

@DaneGamer The console just came out, of course the numbers are going to be low. Did people think that the 360 had millions of gamers during the first year? Of course not.

If Assassins Creed and Call of Duty can have multiplayer, the other games can too. This is just bad decision-making.

For anyone who wants to contribute: Petition to get the online mode into the wii u version of Arkham Origins.

I don't own a Wii U, and probably (or at least not for a long while), but I love the Batman Arkham games. Aside from the fact that I feel multiplayer is entirely unnecessary, I think it's a rather poor practice for a company to essentially do a halfass version of a game for one console If you're going to even bother with it at all, do it right. This goes for any game going on any system. Whether options are limited on a PS3 version or an Xbox One version or however it may go. If you're not being held back by hardware, there should be no excuse.

I cant believe I used to be a nintendo fanboy. Well I guess everyone was 11 once...

ha ha love how people are blaming the devs when its the gamers that made this decision. Wii U gamers just don't play online, so why spend money making an online multiplayer that noone is gonna bother with. Its a waste.

Screw multiplayer, just concentrate on the singleplayer.

Turns out the multiplayer is being left out of the Wii U version due to a lack of an online community. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-07-31-batman-arkham-origins-multiplayer-skips-wii-u

So yeah, this is definitely going to sell less on Wii U now. Probably less than it would have initially. But what does it matter anyway? We all know the next Batman Arkham game won't be on a Nintendo console because the next one is most likely going to take advantage of the PS4/XOne hardware.

Hey Wii U owners - the message cannot be any more clear:

You chose the wrong console.

no online for the wii u is dumb ,and putting online on a batman game is dumb period.

This has got to be the laziest and stupidest decision I have ever seen.

Why do they have to ruin a perfectly good game with multiplayer???

They are not commenting is all.. they should just come out and say if its going to be on the WiiU or not. This is unfair to WiiU players why keep them in the dark like that?.. its the dark knight yeah but dosnt mean.. lol.

Lame excuse, come back with another one Warner Bros.

It is only fair to the owners of the Wii U version to be cheaper I guess.
