Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has cancelled the Batman: Arkham Origins DLC for Wii-U "based on demand."

"Based on demand for DLC content on the system, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has made the decision to remove its offering of the upcoming all-new story campaign for Wii U," said the company. To put it bluntly, Warner Bros. doesn't think that investing in Wii U DLC would be worth the return the console's limited audience would deliver. Nintendo is offering refunds to gamers who purchased season passes for the game. They are sending this email to those who purchased season passes.

"Hello,

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 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.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc."

The problem that grows out of this cancellation is that it makes the Wii U edition of the game inferior to the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions which will be receiving the DLC. If you're looking at the different releases of "Batman: Arkham Origins", the only real reason to pick the Wii U version is if it's the only console you own.

Is this a sign that publishers are losing trust in the Wii-U? What does this say to Nintendo that publishers are now pulling content and may stop putting games on the Wii-U altogether?

This does not look good for Nintendo at all.
