It’s been a strange week for Batman: Arkham Origins on Nintendo platforms. First we heard that the Wii U version wouldn’t include multiplayer. Now we’ve learned that Batman: Arkham Origins – Blackgate 3DS (the handheld companion to Origins on consoles) won’t be releasing in Japan.

To be clear, Blackgate is still coming to Japan. But for some unknown reason, Warner Bros. is only bringing the PS Vita version over. The 3DS game is nowhere to be found in any of the recent Japanese announcements.

In other news, all versions of Batman: Arkham Origins (console and portable) have been dated for Japan. The title will be out on December 5. Warner Bros. will be making Deathstroke DLC available to players on Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 as a limited bonus.

SEGA has launched the official site for its new IP Hero Bank. Access it here. Since it’s in Japanese, you’ll probably get the most enjoyment out of viewing the various screenshots and character art on the site.

Renesas Electronics is heavily involved with a crucial hardware part for Wii U. And just a couple of days ago, the company announced plans to shut down (within the next 2-3 years) four semiconductor plants – one of which specifically handles the console’s DRAM embedded within the CPU.

You can probably guess why this could be an issue for Wii U. Nintendo officials say that near-term production will not be affected, so there’s no reason to panic for now.
