Yeesh. Nintendo of America has revealed that the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins DLC won’t be coming to the Wii U and Season Pass holders will be refunded, as Warner Bros. Interactive believes that demand is too low to bring it to the struggling console.
The statement from Nintendo reads: “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.”
According to VGChartz, roughly 140,000 copies of the Wii U version of the game have been sold, compared to the 1.5 million shifted for the PS3 and 1.3 million for the Xbox 360 versions.
