Okay, this has me feeling a little better. We have a second confirmation from Warner Bros. that those who pre-order Batman: Arkham Origins on Wii U will receive the Deathstroke DLC. So despite what Amazon says (PS3 and 360 only), you should be good to go if you decide to reserve origins for Wii U.

3DS LL – 33,272
Vita – 31,271

Pokemon Global Link features for the Pokemon Black/White and Black/White 2 games will be going dark on January 14, 2014. A few items, such as the end of Dream World registrations, will end this October – October 12, specifically. Some features including the ability to use GTS and Free Mode in Random Matchups in the game will be kept in tact, however.
Pokemon X/Y will usher in a new Global Link. This is set for release in October – the same time the new 3DS games launch. Players who register with their existing usernames will be able to bring over some achievements and statistics to the new Global Link.
You can find more details about the Global Link shutdown here.
A new 3DS game based on the High School DxD anime is on the way. The news comes from this week’s Famitsu, though details have yet to leak. Stay tuned for information!
