Batman: Arkham Origins Preorder Content Confirmed for Wii U

By Jayden Williams

Warner Bros. Interactive have confirmed the preorder Deathstroke content for Batman: Arkham Origins will be available for Nintendo Wii U.

Though with a statement from the game’s publisher handed to Aussie-Gamer this morning, we can all put to rest any doubt or concern surrounding the preorder content and its availability on Wii U.

This is sure to be a blow to a certain segment of the population. First the story was that Batman: AO wouldn't be coming to the Wii U for what ever reason. When that failed they cheered & laughed that the Wii U wouldn't be graced with the Deathstroke DLC even though no one said it wasn't at least not anyone who actually represented WB. The internet can be a laugh riot at times.

Yeah, they were going off a Amazon listing....or like a freaking sticker on the box.

It's crazy how the internet will jump to conclusions with NO official confirmation from Warner Bros themselves. Then when proven wrong.....nobody wants to take blame for it.

The rapid fire internet age has made misinformation king, why wasn't this announced right after stories came out saying it wouldn't be included? I should be a game journalist, getting paid to make s!?@ up sounds fun and easy...

Theyellowflash303942d ago

That's why I became a game journalist, cause I was tired of the BS from other gaming sites. The trolls, blind hate, stupidity... all over pieces of plastic and chipwork.

mydyingparadiselost3942d ago

And thank you for doing so good sir! :)

Great news for Wii U owners. You can be sure if the title was "Batman: Arkham Origins Preorder Content Not Coming for Wii U" this article would have gotten a lot of attention from the Nintendo haters and trolls. The Internet is a funny place alright.

I was going to buy the game regardless, (was planning to get it on PS3) now will get it for Wii U.

The best Batman Arkham game still isn’t on PS5, and that’s a problem

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is almost here, but I can't revisit the best Arkhamverse game on PS5 without sacrificing quality.

Not a fan of Orgins. Blame it on the absence of Conroy & Hamill. Blame it on the lack of atmosphere compared to Asylm. Hell blame it the devs thst dicked over Wii U owners like me that purchased the game only for support be dropped as a thank you to me. It's better than Knight but that's not saying much. I don't care for that entry either.

tbh buying a game like that for WiiU should’ve been an obvious non-purchase when it existed on better hardware.

Cacabunga91d ago

Origins is amazing..
my favorite Batman is Batman and Robin on mega drive.. an HD REMASTER of that would still look glorious

ZeekQuattro91d ago

I got it launch. Kinda hard to go back. I'm supposed to know they were going to drop support months after the fact. 🤣

Exvalos91d ago

You sound like a salty fanboy, that it didn't come to your precious plastic of choice. It's not the developers fault Nintendo continues making underpowered hardware. It's our fault because we keep buying it. Yes I say (we) I'm part of the problem as well.

ZeekQuattro91d ago

I have a PS3 and a Wii U. How was I a salty fanboy? I bought the game on the system I wanted it for.

Rebel_Scum91d ago

Nah my comment has nothing to do with whether you’d know or not that they’d drop support.

Buying any AAA game of that era for a WiiU you should’ve known you’d be sacrificing graphics and load times.

LucasRuinedChildhood92d ago

It's solid but Origins is definitely not the best Arkham game.

LoveSpuds91d ago

Smacks of hyperbole to me, talk about clutching at straws to create some drama around PS5!!

generic-user-name91d ago

Titles like these are designed to get you to come in, go to their comment section and tell them how they're so wrong so they can boost their numbers.

Phoenix7691d ago

Even though its not the best arkham game in the series, its still an enjoyable game in its own right. What it do really well at though, was the crime investigations scenes. Which imo, were the best of the franchise.

goldwyncq91d ago

I don’t know about best game but it definitely has the best story and boss fights.

boing191d ago

Never played it and recently I've finally tried it via cloud on psn. It's not the best for sure, but it ain't bad either.

Batman: Arkham Origins - Open World Busy Work that Doesn't Hold Up 10 Years Later

Batman: Arkham Origins launched 10 years ago today, and sadly doesn't stand the test of time as well as its predecessors.

Petebloodyonion172d ago

I fail to grasp why this title is worse compared to Arkham City (according to the article) as the author didn't provide any argument to explain why aside from that it felt the bigger map compared to Arkham Asylum made the experience less tight.
More importantly, the author seems like he never played Arkham City since he described the game as linear (alongside Asylum).

The Unjustly Forgotten Batman: Arkham Origins Deserves A Resurgence

Despite certain flaws, Batman: Arkham Origins is a splendid entry in the legendary Arkham series and deserves better than being forsaken.

lellkay285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

It's the worst of the three in my opinion, but still really enjoyable. Definitely underated and gets far more crap that it deserves.

Should be included with the other Arkham games in the bundle.

Demetrius285d ago

I'm honestly enjoying it alot, my first time playing since I just decided to get a Xbox 360 slim for 65$, I cop some other gems too tho, I went into Arkham origins not expecting better than Arkham city but it does deliver plus the guy who voices batman did a good job aiming for the young Bruce impression
