Report: Multiplayer-less Batman: Arkham Origins to cost $50 on Wii U

4.6
The Wii U version of Batman: Arkham Origins will be missing $10 from its price tag in addition to the absent multiplayer content planned for the 360, PS3 and PC versions of the game, Kotaku reports. Amazon's listing for the Wii U version is currently priced at $49.96.

Publisher Warner Bros. explained in July that the decision to skip multiplayer for the Wii U version was made to focus "on platforms with the largest MP audience." Arkham Origins' multiplayer mode is being handled by Brink developer Splash Damage and will consist of a three-team fight for territory between the Joker's henchmen, Bane's thugs and Batman and Robin.

The Joker and Bane gangs will be a three-piece effort, although a henchman can be swapped for a super villain if a player earns their way into Joker or Bane's shoes. Batman & Robin, however, will fight on as a gadget-wielding duo of justice.

Brigand It's a bit too much for the Wii U and considering its batman, maybe $30 would be better.


I think that the $50 is too much, but not $30, maybe $40. I think that would be more fair. Similar prices to the PS Vita.

World_Star Wow a discount will get more people to buy.


I don't think many people will be buying the game for the Wii U with a $50 price tag. If it was down to around $40 then i could see more people considering it
