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.

I enjoy the Batman games but in all honesty I do enjoy the multiplayer too. It is a shame they have skipped it for the WiiU all the developers seem not to want to develop that much for the WiiU and that says it all it is a failing console and will eventually fail all together.
