Well I'll be, the first HDmake on the eShop correct aside from MH3U?

I wonder what they'll cut out of the Wii U version this time.

Ah right. But this is the first western HDmake on Wii U for certain IIRC.
The option to buy it.

kinda interested, but i heard scanning is annoying, and combat isn't as fun as the others.
will wait for steam sale!
Why's that? Unless they add second screen features akin to the 3ds version which is highly unlikely, haven't wii u versions of batman games always perform worse than the others?

And thus, the trend of games originally releasing on 3rd-party starved 3DS and Vita handhelds and porting remastered versions onto console digital stores for a cheaper price continues (Assassin's Creed Liberation, Castlevania Mirror of Fate, Resident Evil Revelations, and now this)
I really was going to pay $40 for this game, glad I waited, but still, how can we trust third parties releasing games on handhelds and we are to enjoy them as reasons to own a handheld, when they keep re-releasing better versions of it much cheaper on consoles? I miss the old days when good games on handhelds stayed on handhelds.

Any and all competant ports to the PC are welcome.
Will get it on Steam for the definitive 1080p60 experience.
Wii U release was the biggest surprise out of this annoucement though. Means that WB is not bailing out on Nintendo yet.

Woo! Will pick up the Wii U version and hope they plop the map on the gamepad
and the Steam version at Christmas.
I thought origins was best on WiiU as far as bugs and tearing went?
Not that this is UE3 Batman, but I think Blackgate was best on Wii U minus whatever DLC/Multi got dropped. This is a 3DS port so I imagine it's the same on everything but with Off-TV play. Plus DDP and eShop Card deals will soften the price. Just depends on if it's good enough to play, I've heard good things about the 3DS version so this interests me.
I found this game bored me to tears. So monotonous.
Less than half the price of the Vita version (£34.99). Nice.
I don't know about performance but the lack of the multiplayer mode and some dlc made it the incomplete version by default, anyways, if this port doesn't lack any feature I might be buying it for wii u even better if they add some dual screen feature but I doub it

Maybe, but the framerate was horrible when navigating through the city. I found it to be unacceptable at times, so I traded it.
Might bite on this one if it's ported decently since I skipped it on 3DS.

Wasn't the handheld version a bit of a stinker? I remember passing up on it on release because impressions didn't sound too hot.
Rocksteady must be a little bothered by their game getting used up before they can release the Batman game they're working on. By the time it comes out people probably won't even care any more. Arkham City left us to look forward to what else they could come up with. Instead WB decides they can't wait and makes multiple games causing franchise fatigue.

true, but why dismiss pc too? Betting you probably will be able to get it on gmg for cheaper than consoles and will probably run the best (but this is a handheld port so i'd be quite disappoint if it ain't 60fps on all systems).

I really enjoyed it on 3ds. I'll most likely pick this up when it comes out. While not perfect, it felt like 2D Metroid meets Batman. I managed to avoid any of the game breaking bugs so that was nice.

On the positive side, it's actually for Wii U.
That's refreshing after Origins DLC was cancelled for the platform.
On the negative side, it's not actually a retail release, so Warner Bros. doesn't really have much to lose as an eShop exclusive (smaller than a retail game so less porting costs, no burden of physical copies or physical retailers down your throat for their inability to shift copies, etc.)

Wow, I just finished up typing my review for the Vita version.
The game takes a while to find it's footing (mainly because of the awful map system and boring initial level traversal) but the boss fights are really inventive and the story is a solid Batman tale.
Armature deserves another crack at the formula I think.

Good news. I'll grab this one PS3 as soon as it hits.
I kind of wish they would do a limited physical release though.

"We're sorry to inform you but Batman will not be in the Wii U version of Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate."
Yeah, but after they cancelled dlc, which hás the same advantages, im surptised were getting that. Anyway, i will probably get it on the wiiu. Why not. Its not like its very expensive after all.

Six months after the 3DS/Vita release and for around a third of the price. Nice.
No off-Monitor play would be a big one. Also, I've largely stopped buying Steam games recently since I just don't play them and they get buried in my collection, I probably have 50+ I haven't even installed. I don't even know what I have. I think a lot of it is due to context, as I'm distracted doing something else if I'm on my PC and never start up Steam.
Can't this be applied to almost every game available on PC?
Anyway, Wii U version here if they don't cut anything.
