The bad news comes form developer Alex Ward at Criterion Games, who explained on Twitter that there are no plans to bring future DLC packs to the Wii U version of the game. Developers and publishers have surprisingly skipped the Wii U when it comes to additional game content in the form of DLC.

As for the Need For Speed Most Wanted U DLC, the game has received a bunch of car packs over the past few months, and more are planned in the future. But only on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Well I guess I won't be picking up NFS:MW U today if they are going to treat their customers like this.

No DLC is bad news? I wish there was no DLC on any platform TBH. Gone are the days when developers thanked you for buying their games by releasing patches to fix bugs and better their games with free content. Now you justget charged for content that could likely have been in the finished version anyway. No doubt ill get buthurt DLC supporters on my balls over this comment but I dont care, you idiots are the reason they keep doing it.

The only developers putting actual DLC on the system are Ubisoft, Tecmo, and Capcom. :\

I have no idea why Activision has put NONE of the Call of Duty DLC on the WiiU, but I already know why there's no DLC for Mass Effect 3 and Need for Speed. (psst, it's EA's massive hate for Nintendo right now.)

Yeah, I agree. If I'm going to buy DLC, it had better be a massive expansion pack.

I agree most DLC is bullsh!t, but it doesn't bode well for the Wii U getting left out of stuff like that.

It seems like devs are not going to be supporting the Wii U, which is a really bad sign for Nintendo. I can understand why though, the Wii U is simply not powerful enough to be a true next gen system, so why would a developer waste their resources on it? This is coming from someone who owns a Wii U, trust me it is no next gen system and I bet Nintendo will have problems with it later.

EA would do it if it made them enough money. The user base is probably not there to justify it.

 EA are being dumb asses. That is their calling. They will only miss out on sales.
I suppose EA is not all about the money, they are also about bugging Nintendo. This isn't helping anyone.

Not that. They wanted the Wii U online to BE Origin, all of it. As far as I understand it.

Not really. They are getting better. Compare Wii U's third party games to Wii's. Wii's third party support is from hell (from heaven if you love shovelware).

Either way, the reason they are treating Ninty this way over their plans with Origin on Wii U is in no ways reasonable.

I think the game is actually flying off the shelves. My gamestop was already out of stock just four hours after opening. WTF? The Walmart also ran out of their copies. Either EA only made so few copies or they are really hot.

I have never purchased a single piece of DLC for my PS3, and I really doubt I would ever purchase it for the Wii U, so maybe they do know their audience. Actually, I might get the Luigi DLC for NSMB because apparently it has about the same amount of content as the original game.

We'll see when the other platforms release. If they use Origin then maybe some of the rumours were true. Did the sports games sell bad on the Wii? If they weren't selling at all then that could a very obvious reason to abandon support yes. That also means that hardly anyone should care.

But TF2 is still a relatively recent game and Valve are win. Pelvist made it seem like in the dim and distant past that bundles of free after purchase content was a common place practice. Not to mention that patches could be an absolute pain in the arse to find (and non-existant for consoles).
