So much for yesterday’s tease! Batgirl won’t be in Batman: Arkham Origins, despite a note from WB Games Montreal’s Eric Holmes at Comic-Con yesterday that seemed to hint at the character’s possible inclusion. Speaking with IGN, Holmes flat-out confirmed that Batgirl will not be appearing in Origins. Oh well…

Some gamers feel that the Assassin’s Creed games have lacked satisfying endings. Perhaps the “cycle” will be broken with this year’s release, Black Flag.
Assassin’s Creed IV lead writer Darby McDevitt recently took to Twitter and said that the upcoming title will in fact be satisfying:
.@OnlyAster1 AC4BF will definitely have a satisfying ending, but we always leave room for more. So yes, expect at least a small cliff ha-

.@bas3dbradley Hope so! But with a sense of satisfaction too.

You’ll be able to place your own judgement on Black Flag’s ending when it launches in October.

US trademark for The Wonderful 101 encounters issues, but probably not a big deal
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
In January, Nintendo came across issues with a US trademark for The Wonderful 101. It conflicts slightly with DIRECTV, as the satellite service company previously registered “The 101”.
It’s sounding like this won’t be too big of a deal at the end of the day, so there’s no need to worry about the game’s release.
Warner Bros. confirms two new Batman: Arkham Origins skins, teases Batgirl
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

Two new character skins were announced for Batman: Arkham Origins during a San Diego Comic-Con panel today.
Warner Bros. Montreal will be including “Batman One Million” and “Worst Nightmare Batman” skins. The latter will be unlocked after players have “drained the game of content” and cleared all achievements. How that works in the Wii U version is unclear.
The Worst Nightmare Batman skin will be available for those who are “absolute masters” of the game, according to WB Games Montreal’s Eric Holmes.
Later in the panel, Holmes teased the presence of Batgirl, noting that fans will simply have to wait and play the game to see how Batgirl might be handled. Robin is unlikely to appear given how Origins’ timeline takes place before he exists.
