Forums - Nintendo - Rocksteady on Batman Arkham Knight - 'Wii U could not meet gameplay objectives'

Every time a game is not coming to Wii U. We end up getting a thread like this and most of the people who post are just there to take digs. So nothing new there.

To the Wii U only owners. Why not pick games like these on pc? I mean everyone has some kind of computer and if not one needs it for "vgchartz" as this site is horrible to navigate on phones. So, why not pick up these 3rd party games on steam sale for 5-10 bucks instead of agonizing over absence of some stripped down port for full $60.

Now that i think of it. I should make a thread about above paragraph.

This just further fuels the truth doesn't it? Warner Bros a pro Ninty developer can't bring this game to WiiU because of its limitations.


More like Warner Bros. are a poopy face, I didn't even want Arkham Knight anyway, will be playing the superior Mario Kart which doesn't need a fancy schmancy Batmobile. 

Looks like someone was in the elevator when Reggie farted in it.


Damn you Reggie!!!

Let's cross out WB from the list of the Western 3rd party publishers that support the Wii U.

Anyone has a list of those remaining? Activision if I'm not mistaken. Ubisoft has been recently crossed out.

I think it's just Activision and Indie's left now pretty much



Current consoles: Wii U, Gaming PC

Add me on Wii U! Adamjh99

Add me on Steam! GamingByAdam

Lazy devs, Wii U just as powerful and sells as well as the others, etc and so on

I hope they realize how incompetent that just made them look.

Correct, it would have been less bad for their image if they kept quiet. Now they're wandering in EA territory.


I'm just glad to see you're all right, Zero.  Was afraid you may have had an aneurysm after reading the interview.

if they said they didn't want to bring it to the wiiu because it wont make them billions of $ I might understand that, but thats because of the lazy ports and the incompetent devs.
but saying the wiiu is last gen and don't have the processing power I think they lost all their credibility.
/sarcasm


but sad for those who wanted to play that game on the wiiu ...
I only played the first one, even completed it, but didn't want to play the 2nd part despite having it on steam.

Right... Yet Watch Dogs runs on Xbox 360... So why is impossible to have Arkham Knight on Wii U? You could just say that Epic does not give Unreal Engine 4 support for Wii U and yet latest Cryengine CRYENGINE supports Wii U.

Incompetence is a great word to explain this collosal failure of these developers.



The reason why Watch Dogs runs on PS360 is because it is a cross gen game made with PS360 in mind. Batman isn't made with PS360 in mind so that it has stuff implemented which is simply not possible on PS360 and maybe Wii U.



Do you really think that every PS4 and XBO game in the next 5 years could also run on PS360? I mean sure, everything would be possible if you would just reduce the quality enough but that's like saying The Last of Us could run on PS2.

I browse VGChartz with the Wii U game pad. :(

People actually play games on PC?! I thought that was just something Playstation fans made up to piss off Xbox 360 fans!



I don;t care for the Arkum games at all but this is complete BS. Rocksteady just sucks monkey balls at opimization so they rather not try. X is far more demanding than a Batman game

Correct ... and have you seen how ugly it looks as a cross gen game? These guys obviously know what they're doing, and it's simple - the Wii U and last gen consoles would keep them from achieving their vision.
