Warner seem to be pretty staunch WiiU supporters, putting out Lego, Injustice and Batman games, but it seems the new Batman is PS4/XB1/PC only. So is this the end of support from Warner outside of the Lego videogames?

The other two question marks left now are Ubisoft and Assassins Creed, and Activision and Call of Duty.

It's pretty obvious WiiU will always get Just Dance, Skylanders and Rayman. But could this be the last year of annual core support for the WiiU?

I am really sorry to say it buddy, but in this case it is because of console horsepower, this game will probably make the One sweat, imagine what it would do to poor WiiU =/

I agree with all of your comments. But please remember what we saw of arkham knight was CGI. We havent seen how the game will actually look.

You are right, we have no gameplay footage yet, for that I apologize. I was thinking about the press release that said it would have the batmobile.

However, being Rocksteady, I presume it will have the Batman Arkhan City level of quality, now imagine how hard it is to insert a vehicle in such a gorgeous game and not make it look ridiculous, meaning, having decent physics, movement, integration with the world, even sound. That concept blew my mind and I really don´t know how the Xbox One and Ps4 even can pull it out.

Of course, it can be only a GTA Batman, with half assed graphics and just a much more simple and organic gameplay, it can be a game that would run on wiiU, but, for some reason, Warner, that supported the console before, dropped it out this time.

Actually, maybe they will say it will come to WiiU in the future, that would make things very interesting.

What I meant is: I know that Nintendo is in trouble getting 3rd party support, but from now on the trouble will come also from power, no only because of the install base size.

What do you think?

That said, you are totally right, we do not have any idea yet what kind of game it is, yet.

I wonder what the future holds, if the WiiU was selling more, would everybody port everything for it from now on? I mean, it has a 6 million units install base and it is growing at a steady pace, so, it is not by any means a super failure like Atari Jaguar or Virtual Boy (those, I believe, sold less than 1 million).

What do you think?
