A Warner Bros spokesperson has confirmed that it has canceled Batman: Arkham Origins downloadable content on the Wii U. This suggests that the game has fallen short of estimates on the struggling console. This means that the upcoming all-new story campaign won’t be coming to the system. Those customers who purchased the season pass in the US via the eShop will have their money refunded.
“Based on demand for DLC content on the system, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has made the decision to remove its offering of the upcoming all-new story campaign for Wii U.”
– A Warner Bros spokesperson
“Thanks so much for your support of Batman: Arkham Origins on Wii U. We are contacting you today because you purchased the Batman: Arkham Origins Season Pass for Wii U. We hope you’ve been enjoying the content that has been delivered thus far.
“Based on demand for Downloadable Content on the system, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has made the decision to remove its offering of the upcoming new story campaign for Wii U. As a result, we will be crediting the entire $19.99+tax cost of the Season Pass back to your Nintendo eShop account. You will still be able to enjoy the content already released thus far.
“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your support of the game.”

ok, sorry and thanks XD
Thank you for all that you do sickr! I appreciate your constant updates of Nintendo news. Can’t wait until there is another Nintendo Direct to hopefully bring back some more positive news towards Wii U.
Not surprising. These are the same people that fucked the F.E.A.R. franchise up.
HAHaHAHAHA #NINTENDOFAIL # WIIUEXSPOSED #WIISCAMU #RIPWIIU #WONTBEMISSED #SHHHGOTOSLEEPNINTENDO #
since when that’s “Exposed”
learn to use insults before using them
Not an insult. And thanks for picking.
and by picking you mean?
im doing this on purpose, you know
Picking that extra little letter I accidentally typed. Got anything else to pick? Or will you say something that has a point? A point sharp enough to pop my bladder?
Are you a natural English speaker
Everything gets cancelled for the dead Wii U. The only thing this dead console will get during it’s mediocre life cycle are a bunch of baby games. Baby game this, baby game that. If you want to keep missing out on triple A games get a Wii U. If you want to keep missing out on content get a Wii U. Third party support is close to nothing. Only babies are interested in the Wii U. Nintendo only produces baby games nowadays. One or two non baby games it might get a year, only babies and casuals play one or two games a year (and most of the time they can’t even finish the game lololol). Look at the baby winning on the comments above about their smash news ( can’t even watch their language, baby is pissed lolol). Baby demanding their smash news. Baby throwing a tantrum lololol. It not sickr’s fault everything gets cancelled on the dead Wii U.
Awwww, not that baby got it’s way it got pacified lolololol!!
now*
Fucking nintendo scamed us. Assholes.
This was Warner, not Nintendo, it’s them being lazy as fuck and cheap!
So, whining like a baby about how the “dead Wii U” is for babies is some kind of ironic statement?
but your the one acting like a baby i know what it is you got that thermometer to far up your ass.awwww thats why your crying cause your boom boom hurts.
Well, at least you provide me entertainment with how pathetic you are. Your comments are somewhere between hilarious and just plain sad. But mostly hilarious.
And yet you same bitching idiots still wish for their games to exist on other consoles made by Nintendo themselves which, either way that goes, will be no different than on Nintendo consoles.
Ya fucking moronic excuses for gamers care only for one thing: Graphics and last we all checked, by “we” I mean gamers with a fucking working brain, doesn’t make a game complete or play itself.
Would you rather have the prettiest looking game (that still won’t surpass PC’s league) with shitty gameplay or a decent or stylish looking game with functional and fun gameplay? Don’t even bring up that Nintendo is for babies or their hardware sucks BS. They may have halfway worked for Wii because of the specs but there’s no excuse to why the Wii U is doing poorly because of the design. The ONLY reason why 3rd parties are not developing for it or take it seriously because of how PS4/X1 was designed to make game developing so effortless that they’re kissing each other’s asses for the easy way out to grab money. In short: They’re all fucking selfish and only make rushed/rehashed/bugged games in 1-2 years just for a quick buck not for the gamer’s expense and exceptions. There’s no passion in these games anymore and yet you graphic wjoring fanboys are unbelievably retarded to figure out the simplest truth.
As for Nintendo side, yes, they failed on Wii U as well but not by design. But how they marketed it poorly or not at all plus a shortage of software which is typical for any 1st year launch window of any console. Look at the 3DS and how it started. If Wii U can still pull that same thing off as the 3DS, it will pick up momentum again. It just needs the software.
Grow the hell out of that anti-Nintendo notion and open your damn eyes and ears because newsflash: You don’t know what the real definition of gaming is anymore. If you’re a true gamer, you’re open to try every platform and then properly judge with an open mind.
Yes, because Super Mario 3D World is only for babies and the last stages only babies can pass them, I guess that goes for Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101, it’s all babies! Oh, yes, Arkham Origins is only there just not with DLC because these assholes didn’t give us a full game because they’re assholes, anyway, this game is totally inferior than the first two, and it sold half of what the other 2 games sold, plus the Wii U version had less things because of how awful these developers are! I guess I’ll have fun with my baby X game when it comes out!
You’re a baby game.
Who cares sorry game anyway!
Right..everything that gets cancelled on the wiiu are well.. stupid games , right ?. No EA support.. F them ,who cares. No rockstar.. GTA sucks anyway. NO sega.. pftt whats that. And we then blame nintendo for not getting enough 3rd party support.
They’re all a bunch of hypocrites on this website. They think they’re clever by being indifferent about games they were probably begging for months earlier
Completely agree.. if people actually showed their support (sigh). But I wonder, what do these people like anyways. They pretty much dis at any shooter, sports or beat em up. Hell , they even go against games like mario 3d world and donkey kong
No Sega? Ummm… Sonic: Lost Worlds?
After seeing the sales of that game, its no surprise they’re not bringing Aliens to the wiiu. But . hey ! Aliens suck anyway ,right ? -_-
first off you wb fags sell us a watered down repacked arkham city rehash with the multiplayer ripped out and then cry about low game sales when your game sold like crap on all platforms. but the nintendo consumer get fucked every time and im sick of it. i own a ps3 xbox360 and the wii-u and i will never buy another wb game again same goes for e.a. fuck you third party devs. indie’s and first parties for me 2014
I used to enjoy when this community was filled with intelligent, insightful comments. This doesn’t mean there can’t be negative comments, and it’s always nice to see interesting debates.
In 2007, I used to think Trolling was interesting. It’s such a waste of time and effort now and I’m sure most people who try aren’t even aware of its origins
Care to elaborate?
About the origin of trolling of course, something tells me you just did a quick google search.
Oh nose, I want that milk, too! Wait what, your cow is already dry, you say?
the twats
Just give us 60s Batman, then we’ll talk.
Hmm.. I actually was looking forward to the DLC. This is too bad! >:|
Hopefully we’ll also get our money back in Europe…
Obviously they will give you your money back in Europe… Why would they only give certain countries their money back?
Hmmm so let’s see. Warner Bros. Doesn’t give us a full game, then they expect it to sell good anyway, then with it not selling good cancels the DLC. Everyone should have seen it coming. It’s obvious. Game sucked anyway. Worst of the Arkham series.
I’m so glad I wound up with a second copy of this on PS3, now I can still get the DLC. What the fuck is wrong with the people on this website? Console warring is just about the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of. Why are you happy the WiiU is doing bad? Are you ten? Probably, now that I think of it. I have a 360, PS3, and WiiU. I freaking love video games. I don’t get why anyone else who also loves games would be happy a system is doing poorly.
Guys, let’s not panic! This could be worse….remember the Segway? Didn’t think so………

Fine then don’t take my money then.
I didn’t buy the game anyway….. soooooo…..guess I don’t care.
Just want Nintendo games here.
I hope this applies to europe too as I’d previously bought the season pass. I’d quite like my £16 back.
This is what I get for buying the Wii U version. Thanks a lot.
