This. It's a well liked game regardless of any extras.

this, but Rex Fury stole $10 from the money I was saving for this game on eShop
Wanted to add that as far as I know, Injustice is getting DLC; was also confirmed on the latest Nintendo Direct. What it is not getting are the preorder extras...which will be sold in any case; no matter the platform.
Getting Need for Speed U, Monster Hunter Tri on Wii U and 3DS, Lego City Undercover...and just grabbed Darksiders II for $20 and Pokémon Rumble Blast and Rayman Origins for the 3DS. Of all weeks, Darksiders II had to go on sale this one. Lovely game actually, enjoying it more than the original one.

Back in my day the only DLC we got was horse armor and, by God, we liked it.

While I don't approve such 'customer must earn their DLC' views as the one expressed here, I think the release package is worth the asked price, so I'm getting the game as it is. I don't feel any consumer grudge as in the Legends fiasco, since nothing was promised and not delivered.

People in general seem to hate DLC, but then criticize a game that might not have any.

Assassin's Creed III sold abysmally, yet all the DLC is there...
i'm guessing they made the dlc pretty close with the development of the game expecting it to do a lot better. also, it's ubisoft, and they're historically good when it comes to providing content on all consoles.

It should be noted though that all the DLC for ACIII has come weeks if not near months after the other versions. The first part of the Tyranny of King Washington came a week or two late, and just all of a sudden. The Wii U version never had a release date, and even when the other versions DLC came out the Wii U version's date was ???. Emailing Ubisoft about it got responses of ummmm it'll show up, we think, we're just not sure when.
Which is pretty annoying.
I don't doubt that effort is gone into the game. I'm just sick and tired of having to jump through hoops. I'm tired of the having to be put through "test' just because I prefer Nintendo hardware to be my primary gaming console. It's one of the reasons that lead to me getting a PS3 and a 360 when I did years ago. However I'm not going to be doing that this time around with my PC being as capable as it is. The very idea of this happening is what bothers me and like I suggested if this wasn't being sold at the price it's being sold at I wouldn't be to bothered by this. I actually do understand it but doesn't mean I like it.
I've said in the past that late ports should not be full price. That's asking for failure form the very start regardless of what is included in the package. There is always the other shoe to drop with a Nintendo hardware version. I'd much rather the developer not have said anything regarding future DLC instead of admitting it was dependent on how well the game sold. A game being put out months later, at $60, with no advertising or any push what so ever. In some cases ignorance is bless. The game will never reach the threshold that is likely being set for it. That I agree is on EA and any publisher that puts out a game late with no push at all behind it.
In the end my issue is the price. Price it lower and I'll buy. When the price drops I'll buy. If the Wii U version is ultimately not going to be treated the same in terms of support after release then don't sell it full price. No one asked for the extra features they put into the game. Off-TV play is all anyone has been watching from games if the controller isn't being used. That was on them.

Criterion is my favorite developer of racing games. They just released patch 1.3 for the 360 and PS3 and it really
Improved the lighting. Now I don't own a Wii U but Target has the $50 gift card deal. If the Wii U version runs in a
Solid 720p with the PC textures I might double dip. The 360 and PS3 versions run something like 8 pixels under
720p. For those who don't have the game it's really fun with some amazing graphics.

I appreciate the graphical polish. It peaked my curiosity enough to get the game.

exactly, i was querying Effect saying that
I do as well but no one was asking for those features. No one was asked for their input in what extras they wanted. People just wanted a version that played on the Wii U. Personally anything focusing on local multiplayer is worthless to me because I have no one I can play regularly with.

Judging by the ME3 port, NFSMWU would have been full-price, extra features or not. So one can think of the extra features as a bonus just because Criterion are cool. Also, don't discard the usefulness of those features or the extra customers those might bring.
I'm comparing it to the PC version of course. There's no reason to consider PS360 versions for me, even if I had / planned to buy a PS3 or 360, simply because the versions are identical feature-wise and PC has better performance, better graphics and more players online.
Wii U version is 30 fps, PC version is 60 fps. Plus the geometry is probably better on PC (which isn't such a big deal). These, and 6 players online instead of 12, are the flaws I was referring to. And yeah, as I said, I still prefer the promise of the Wii U version because of the new mode and off-TV play.

I'm honestly considering triple dipping for this (I already own the Vita and 360 version). Just waiting on impressions and reviews.

No and it probably won't but Activision won't say anything/be honest about it coming or not coming.

I'm with TheNatural on this.
WiiU owners are getting the best console version of the game bar the online limit.
Enjoy it. Might not happen much later on.

It'd be pretty fucking dumb to skip out on the game just because of the lack of DLC especially if you were already interested. The core game (from what I played on PC) is packed with content already and it's not a story-heavy game so there's nothing crucial in the DLC. I know I'll still be buying it.
Fact is the Wii U is selling like shit and EA doesn't see it worthwhile to port over the DLC. If enough people buy the game, who knows, that might just change.

This - people complain about third party devs not making the effort and when they do still find a way not to support them. If you want quality third party titles on the system you owe it to yourself to pick this up.

The Dorito Pope speaks; we must obey. If enough people pick this game up to justify it, DLC will come.

I hear eShop is being hosted on Iwata's own iPhone, so we can expect some boost now that he can upgrade to the new octo-core galaxy s4. *fingers crossed*

How would your score the game?
Yup. You know what? Other consoles aren't getting a prettier version, new features and free existing dlc.....So stop bitching, people!
Impossible to say. I have only played like an hour and a half and haven't even tried any online races. But it's fun and seems to be a great port (probably the best version out of the box). I am loving the use of the gamepad. Instant switching to off-tv play or just changing time of day or your vehicle on the fly really streamlines the experience, and makes you appreciate the shiny graphics even more
Going from day to night really highlights the amazing lighting in this game.Like the hat?

Damn - I need some impressions or reviews!
*F5's Metacritic incessantly*
*F5's Metacritic incessantly*
I'm considering this to be my first "retail" game i buy in the e-shop. Normally, i wouldn't consider it, because retail games in stores usually cost less (up to 10 - 15 bucks even), and you have a physical copy, a booklet etc... But this being a game as close to Burnout as we're going to get in quite a while, would be ideal to have accessible at all times, without having to swap discs. I can imagine this being a game i go back to a lot even a couple of years from now, for short bursts, when taking a break from whatever i'm playing at the time.
That's what I've been wondering... I haven't seen any confirmation that it'll be on the eShop. I sure hope so!
