So saw this piece of news and well here it is lol.

“In order to ship at the same time as the other consoles, we unfortunately weren’t able to delve into this feature. But we think Nintendo gamers will be really excited to get the game at the same time as other consoles.”

In for more rounds of third parties blaming Nintendo gamers for this that and the other.

understandable reason unlike a certatin other publisher cough warner brothers cough and is it possible for them to patch them the offline co op at a later date?

The ironic part is that Nintendo gamers are the ones that would notice the lack of off line co-op play the most.Off line co-op has been a staple of Nintendo consoles since the N64.

Why would they not implement this into the game in time? Do they really not care enough for the Wii U version to put it in there? Really... But cant they implement a patch later to fix this problem. It should have been in there in the first place but at least it will get fixed.

They started development at a point where Wii U made sense, and finished at a point where it didn't. This is the result.

Not sure, it can't be to hard though prob. Since new modes are added as dlc some times. The deciding factor might be demand/sales of it in the end though.

Didn't we used to call this splitscreen? Damn I'm getting old..

Shame. I was going to buy a Wii U to play this particularly mode on this particular game. Nintendo needs to shape up.
