WB Games has revealed that Batman: Arkham Origins on Wii U will cost less than the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game – both of which will retail for $59.99. The Wii U version will be priced at $49.99. Unlike the other versions, however, the Wii U game won’t have online multiplayer. Batman: Arkham Origins will be released on October 25.
Hell yeah
I think that’s very fair indeed
Got arkham city and what I am hearing about the combat system on this game it might be worth it. In unrelated news I just got my buy 2 get 1 free special from target. Wonderful 101, Rayman Legends and Pikmin 3. Guess i’ll be away for a while.
Yay no tacked on multiplayer.
jBATMAN GET
SORRY UBISOFT KYAHAHAHAHAHA~ WAT NOW BITCHES?!
I just did that same thing today. Except I got spilter cell, W101, and rayman legends. I plan on exchanging splinter cell in for windwaker though :)
I wanted to get splinter cell so bad I spent a good 5 seconds thinking about it long I know. Maybe i’ll go back today and see if I can make more purchases ha ha and of I can find another 2 games ill buy it.
You forgot to mention that the WiiU version has no online mode that’s why it’s cheaper
I’m still not buying/supporting intentional gimped shit even if it costs $40 on launch.
They think just because dropping a price on a gimped port will convince people who own Wii U to suddenly go retarded and buy an incomplete game at a (bad) cheap discount? This has been the most depressing year of Nintendo and they haven’t done shit.
W101, pikmin 3.
And its not going full retard the multiplayer is just a tacked on feature, and its likely going to be a waste of disc space. If the rest of the game plays as it should I will certainly buy it for Wii U.
I’m getting it. I don’t give a crap about the multiplayer.
Same. The price drop is a bonus, the multiplayer will be about as relevant as NInja gaiden 3’s multiplayer…. ie= not very
Idk I bought Assasins Creed 3 and I played online approximately 0 times. I would of gladly traded that for $10.
“They think just because a price on a gimped port will convince people who own a Wii U to suddenly… buy an incomplete game…”- Ummmm pretty much. That is why they dropped the price. They didn’t make multiplayer for Batman on Wii U, because it is more expensive to develop and maintain something like that and they know most Wii U owners don’t use online multiplayer and there isn’t a large install base for Wii U’s.
Also, I don’t think it entirely counts that Batman Wii U is a gimped version, because it is CHEAPER! Gimped games are synonymous to rip offs, because they cost the same as other versions but are missing major parts of the game. This game is missing parts from the other versions, yes, but it costs less so it makes up for it. I see many people buying this now, because it is “fair.”-and that is what matters, fairness.
That’s how they should be doing it, of they are leave shit out then they should drop the price.
at least the price justifies the watered down gimped version. maybe not.
Watered down?
If Origins is anything like Asylum or City, it will be about epic singleplayer campaign.
Plus multiplayer is being developed by the studio behind Brink.
I might actually be willing to pay for them to leave that shit out.
Cool! Sux the multiplayer isn’t there but at least they aren’t gonna charge us full price and leave something out like others have done.
this shit still wont sell. even if cheaper, when it doesnt sell you all will…… just say some other excuse. unless if its a fatass plumber (who still wears diapers, just like you nintenpuppets, do what nintendo tells you) or a pre order bonus of a bib (need help burping) the nintenbabies wont buy it and thats another fact.
nintenbabies everywhere. maybe this halloween you can dress up as a baby!! oh wait thats exactly what you are, your costume is in the clear. *TRICK OT TWEAT!!!!* (how old are you??) *im 30 and a nintenbaby!!*( here you go and remember to have fun with your shitty wii u) *twank you!!*
Iceazeama = Katamari confirmed…
no im not that guy. im the one talking to you.
Seems a little suspicious of you saying “babies” as he says that all the time…
yeah nintenbabies you guys wear diapers. we all know, ive been saying that for a while. evrybody knows.
I don’t…
If you haven’t read yesterday I said that if High Command implements NSA Spybox mechanics on their next console I will resign from our empire…
no, i havnt read yesterday, i havnt been following.
Well anyway I said it…
dude, the gamepad’s got a camera already, then quit Nintendo right now please
Go back to your Rock Realm…
you forgot to mention the 300 other alts i have.
I only like this one…
-____- Iceazeama, I think there should be an award for how lame that comment was. Go home and play your Xbox. We don’t need your kind here.
im the most serious guy here. their should be award for that too. there should really be an award for the biggest ripoff in videogame history too and that one is the wii u. your paying for a this gen console for an next gen console price. damn what a scam, we all know the wii u has the worst versions of games and wont end up getting anything but shovelware.
Most serious moron, confirmed.
Take your meds, and go to bed.
(From a PC gamer, with love)
Don’t care if it don’t sell. It will sell to at least one person and that person is me. That’s a guaranteed purchase from me.
Seems fair. I don’t play for online multiplayer but it would’ve been nice. As long as it brings the Wii U gameplay like in Arkham City, and come with DLC, then all is good.
buying it to fnish story and keep the disk in my colection forever. Fuck multiplayer .. Soplinter Cell Blacklist online keeping me occuped enough.
price has been 49.99 for a couple of months on amazon.
Finally some power that makes a justified deal…
Dont forget to NO BUY the pass.
how does it feel to own the next dreamcast but you know, this time shit.
THIZ TIME IS BETTAH YA KNOW CUZ ITZ LYK DREMCAST BUT IN HD SO YA KNO IS BETTUR.
Feels pretty damn good.
the only one feeling good is nintendo knowing they raped another persons wallet. SCAM!! your one of the 4 million victims that they ripped off and lied to.
they didn’t lie to me. they promised me fun and I have been having a lot of fun.
how does it feel to be ignored everyday lol.
actually that is a very fair deal imo
Good news. This is the exemple other 3rd parties should follow
Why? just because Wii U is not selling? Thats not an excuse
And retailers wont be lowering the price…
Scratch that, my retailer has actually went up by 1€.
I don’t care for tacked on multiplayer in great single player games. This way i won’t pay for a mode i don’t need.
I would prefer multiplayer for this kind of game as dlc anyway.
Off-topic:
Kotaku is a fucking annoying battlefront of fanboys…
Reading those comment makes me want to off myself.
Or I could just read the comments in here to balance it out.
lol
Fair. But why cut it in the first place? And the WiiU version will end up costing the same or even more on Amazon, because (at least amazon ger) sucks.
Nice.
Will people change their minds on the Wii U version if the multiplayer turns out to be utter shit I wonder?
This is music to my eyes
Can I give you music to your ears then.ha ha
I’ll be $10 in a year on all consoles anyway.
Wow, what a loss…
Reblogged this on Curiosidades na internet.
Guys, honestly, why do you reply to the xbox and ps fanboys? You just give them arguments to keep on rambling on and about.
I personally love nintendo and all its games, but I can’t consider myself a fanboy cause if I had the money I’d buy a PS3 and 4 without hesitation (really, money is the only thing that keeps me from buying them), cause there’s games there that I love (God of War, Metal Gear and such).
I would NEVER, however, buy an xbox, even though I like Halo.
BBBUUUUTTT anyways, I don’t care much about the online on Batman, I mean, it doesn’t really make sense to me to have an online multiplayer, but that’s just my opinion.
I’m not a fanboy, I’m a gamer, I don’t care about graphics, I care about gameplay and how much a game can entertain me. And I’m not talking just Nintendo here, I’m talking PC (Age of Empires, The Thing, Doom, etc) and PS (Final Fntasy franchise, Tekken, etc).
This crazy fanboy hate towards people that may like something that you may not like needs to stop. This shit just got personal for me because my ten year old niece was on one of thease nintendo fan sites having a conversation with someone about a wii u game she was interested in buying and then some crazy motherfucker had came on the site and had threated her and other people on the site because he/she believes that nintendo gamers are pedifiles. Seriously, is a video game company worth wishing death and threatening people over. Seriously if you dont like something than just walk away and leave it alone. And it is just pathetic that people actually dedicate thier time to go to a nintendo site, a sony site, and a microsoft site or whatever site that talks about something that they may not like and constantly bashes it. People that do this really needs to get a life, there are more important things going on in the world than video games and argueing about something with a bunch of people that you dont know

Good news. Clearly if a game is missing major parts/modes/etc the price should be dropped to account for that.
Good. But I would still want the full game on Wii U for real equality.
This is what makes me sad on nintendo console. No multiplayer.
No multiplayer no buy.
I want to do the same thing on my wii U as I would do on any other console.
Its good that they lowered the price, that makes up for a tiny part of it.
Only open world game I’m buying is Watch Dogs and WWHd if you count that

Games are cheaper for PC, that doesnt meanns games are selling better. Its cheaper because almost no one buys Wii U games.
