With the announcement of new multiplayer and single player DLC it appears that Wii U owners are going to get the shaft as they will not be included in the action.  I have to wonder...why?  I've been a long supporter of Bioware, and I own pretty much all of their games.  Through the good times and bad times I've always fell like they were a classy bunch and dedicated to us as gamers.  Even having dealt with their customer service side I've always gotten a positive feeling from them as a company.

However, with this current Wii U situation, I have to wonder what's going on.  Why would the company invest in this version of the game only to give it absolutely no support?  At first I figured they would simply release the previous DLC later, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  It's not that the Wii U can't have DLC, because Assassin's Creed 3 just got the new King Washington DLC on the eShop.  Same with Just Dance 4 and new songs.

My question is why would Bioware even bother making the Wii U version if they had no intention of supporting those users?  As a gamer, I feel like this is totally unfair to those who put down $60 with the expectation that they would be supported like every other version.  I'll admit that I don't own the Wii U version simply because it doesn't support IR, but I had every intention of picking it up if it got enough support.  That doesn't seem to be the case.  Why would I invest money in a product that the company itself has no intension of supporting?  Reading up on things on Miiverse seems to reveal quite a few owners of the game as being fairly upset as they should be.

Now, I know some people are going to be saying that they shouldn't have purchased the Wii U version to begin with, but these folks are showing their support for the game on their system and should get support.  It just doesn't make sense for Bioware to ignore them totally.  The whole situation just seems wrong to me and I hope the Bioware does the right thing and supports these gamers who didn't do anything wrong, yet are getting treated like second class citizens.

Either way, I'd like to know why this is happening?  It just doesn't seems like Bioware at all.

Why are you asking BW this? Ask nintendo. They barely have an online system to work with.

Because other games have DLC...paid DLC.  So why doesn't this one?  There is no reason for the Wii U owners to not have the same content as everyone else.  I play Black Ops 2 all the time on the system and it runs fine and has pretty much everything the other versions have....except DLC, but the recent comments from them implies that it's coming.  So at least they're trying to work out a solution as they seem to want to give all gamers a good experience.

The same can't be said for Bioware.  They've been pushing this version on their Facebook page, yet they refuse to support it the same as other versions.  There's no excuse for this.  I simply want to know why they would do this to their fans?  It's just wrong.

Because the Wii U is the new kid at school and no DLC is Bioware's way of stuffing it into a locker.

This is not helping the discussion at all.  Take that system wars BS someplace else.  As gamers we should all be against the way this is going.  I'm a PC Mass Effect player and the lack of DLC on the Wii U doesn't affect me in the least, but I think as a gamer this situation is wrong and all of the versions of the game should be properly served.

Nope. 

The fact that Mass Effect is on the Wii U is wrong. :innocent:

This has nothing to do with any high horse.  There's nothing wrong with the system or any system.  People play games on many different devices.  The point here is that Bioware asked people for their money and then isn't going to give them any support for it.  There's nothing cool about that.  This isn't about which version people play on, because there are players from all over on this forum.  Why shouldn't the people who purchased the Wii U version get support?  They paid their money like we did.

Making comments such as the one you made doesn't help the discussion is simply inflamatory stuff trying to get a rise out of someone.

Right, because it's really a bad thing that the OP cares about other fans of the game who won't be able to play this DLC? Maybe it's because instead of trolling threads with system war nonsense, he is actually thinking about what's good for Mass Effect's playerbase. Get over yourself.

OP: I agree completely. I do not own the Wii U version myself, but I was thinking of purchasing it until I learned this news. Seems odd to me that they wouldn't release it for this platform.

Finally get ported to Wii U and then no dlc...

If Gaming platforms were ME3 endings, I guess that means the Wii U would be refusal.

Don't assume you know the reason I made my comment. If someone doesn't like the fact their game won't get support, don't buy it for that system. Super simple stuff.

No, he is arguing that the support for the system was heavily implied up until launch, the fact that they seem to have forgotten that they have wiiU players, as small as that player base may be is asinine, and maybe if you didn't make childish comments your reasoning wouldn't be called into question.

It's not that simple.  The people who purchased that game originally had no idea they weren't getting the full package down the line.  Just look at interviews and such before the game was released.  Look at the pimping on their Facebook page.  At no point does Bioware say that Wii U owners were never going to get any DLC.  They even make it a point to note that the first DLC would be free to Wii U owners.  So the guys who purchased the game didn't have all the information and Bioware didn't give it to them, either.  The general feeling after launch was simply that DLC would possible come later.

How is anyone supposed to make an educated decision without all of the facts from said company?  It's a case of baiting people in and taking their money.  So the quesiton is why shouldn't Wii U owners get support?  The system for providing DLC is in place.  Wii U players can play online multiplayer with no problems.  Bioware has been real shady about this whole situation.

There should be no reason for all versions of the game to get the same content.  The way they've handled this whole situation is not good, and we as gamers shouldn't let this happen.

You think anyone would buy the Wii U version if they knew that the system wasn't getting support for DLC? BioWare made absolutely no indication that they would not release the next DLC onto the Wii U platform. Therefore, people who bought the console and the game along with it (and expected full-support for their new purchase) are in for a surprise if they were expecting to get the Citadel DLC, too.

Super simple stuff.

Let's keep the platform elitism out of the discussion, please.

[Yuqi]

Maybe it's because nintendo is stricter and wont accept the DLC's bugs. Or the Wii U's smaller consumer base is not worth the risk?

[Mobuse]

Maybe the sales of ME3 on the Wii U were lower than expected?

[Go Vols Go]

It could be some kind of technical limitation with the system. I doubt it, but it's possible. Also, I would probably bet that EA made BioWare make ME3 for the Wii U. But, more than likely than all of that, it probably comes down to money. From what I hear, no one is buying the Wii U. It comes down to simple investment/returns. The money that EA/BioWare would invest in porting the DLC to the Wii U (especially considering the small install base) would not be paid back by the amount of people buying the DLC. I mean, if you could port the DLC to the system, but are pretty much guaranteed to lose money on it, would you do it? It depends. Sometimes companies can take that kind of loss, but I would be willing to bet a decision like that came from the higher-ups at EA.

last i heard it had only sold 30,000 units. Not an excuse for no support though.

What did they expect? They lauched ME3 on Wii U with no DLC support after the Trilogy launched on 360 and PC for the same price.
