Injustice: Gods Among Us Update Sneaks Out of the Shadows

yes first good dlc!!!!!

Very happy!!!! The man is the house!!!!

Time to get me a new eShop card.

Need to buy this game now!

Geez, those prices are reminding me why Nintendo never does those kind of things, though it's good for Injustice DLC to arrive finally.
Now if only Activision does the same thing to Black Ops II....

Just bought the game. Waited for DLC to come out to prove a point that DLC matters to us Wii U owners so that we're not left out in the future. Also purchased Scorpion and Catwoman alongside the game Just waiting for Injustice to download and install!

What? No Flaming C skin?

$5 a character? Pretty steep.

Thanks for a reason to buy this game, NetherRealm!

WHAT ARE THE PATCH THAT WE GOT?

This is great news = )
Support this game guys, we need as much people as possible, to prove that Wii U owners would like 3rd party games !

@Salnax That's the same price for characters in Mortal Kombat on PS3

Scorpion get!

Nice! getting scoprion asa i'm home!

@Tasuki The free skins come with the update for the game, not from the eShop.

No Smallville skins?

@DESS-M-8 Doesn't make it any cheaper...

$5 for another character.. that seems like a good deal...

All of this stuff should've been included in the base game. The proper way to do dlc, is to create 'new content' after the game has been shipped...i.e. a single player, or multi-player expansion...actual CONTENT.

This is just...it's TF2 hats except way more expensive. You can buy whole, quality games on Steam & GOG for $5.

Good news.

@doctor_doak New characters is now considered not new content.

Give me a break.

@Aviator

$5 is a ridiculous sum to pay for ONE character...who is essentially just an added skin to the game and adds nothing of real value.. None of those additional characters would've been created after the game had been shipped. They were withheld from the full game as a way of extracting more money from gamers without putting in any real effort..

If you're happy to be gouged, it's not my concern. I just think it's poor form...

5? so that is like 3 euro? so its cheaper than on Xboxlive where we pay 10 euro for 800 microsoft points where it costs 400 points there :S crazy.
a friend of mine bought it for me for 360. if they brought the update and the dlc earlier i would have bought it for wiiU. becouse the D-pad on 360, and ps3 really sucks

Do you know what works actually goes into making a character? They are not essentially skins. They are character models, animations, programming for the moves, hit detection, testing for balance, voices ect. These characters might have been in development before the it was finished but they were not ready to go.

Second to fighting game fans new characters are new content, it means more stuff to learn and use. One character can give you weeks of use and entertainment.

I know they certainly brought me back to playing the game, with Scorpion on Zod I got something new to experience. Where's a Skin is just a Skin.

It's always up to you to decide to buy or not. The game has loads of content and is in no way incomplete. The skins and characters are just add-on to that. Which of, some were given for free with each comparability pack.

I know there's another 4 DLC characters coming, and I think that will be the last. As with those last 4 the character select will be balanced. Those 4 have a high chance of being Martian Manhunter, Powergirl, Red Hood and Sub Zero.

@KaiserGX

Yeah, that's true... there is plenty that goes into creating a character....but right now on Steam, I could get Fez, The Binding of Isaac & Dungeons of Dredmor for the price of those 4 characters alone. Or if i'm anti-hipster, I could get Portal and Fallout 3 for the same price.

From past experience, I don't believe those characters were created after the game had shipped. Anytime you see a skin, character or map offered as dlc...you can virtually guarantee it's content that's been withheld from the original release.

If they went away for 4 months and created an additional mini-single player campaign/ or an entirely new multiplayer mode... plus the 4 extra characters for say $10-$15.....that would seem reasonable.. Or maybe if they bundled the 4 characters and the skins together as dlc for $10 it would be a better deal.. $63 for a few new characters and a bunch of skins is daylight robbery. This is the sort of thing free-to-play developers have done to monetize their games. This is a $60 retail release with no monthly bandwidth burden for the publisher. They essentially want you to pay $120 for their game...

Seems like we've got the update but no DLC in Europe just yet.

where is the man of steel skin?

Download the skins and characters you want. You don't HAVE to buy anything there. $63 dollars is a lot but I didn't buy all of it or plan to. I bought Injustice for 60 bucks and got my enjoyment out of it. For another $5 I can extend it's already vast replay value. I chose to throw down the $20 to extend my enjoyment out of a game I already enjoy immensely.

I ask myself if I am willing to pay this for said item. Not going around and see what else I can buy for less. I've been closely contacting NeatherRealm Studios since they showed the trailer at E3. They barely started working on Lobo's engine two weeks before the game went Gold. You can't complete much in those two weeks because the game needs so much bug-testing in the last couple months before the game is released. Though I will say some of those skins were already being worked on as well as the Red Son missions.

What's an animator to do when their work is done? Just go home? No they made them stay and work, make new skins and such.

I bought the game 40 dollars on Amazon a few days ago. With the Off TV play and confirmed DLC, the Wii U version is the definitive version of the game.

@KaiserGX

I'm just saying that this sort of dlc model was pioneered by free-to-play MMO developers on PC who needed money for monthly bandwith costs, and obviously to make some sort of profit. This is a $60 retail game that doesn't need to be monetized in the same way. They should be creating more substantial content for the money they're asking post launch....but as you say, i guess that so long as people are willing to pay the price, it doesn't really matter...

The thing is on Facebook I always see people demanding certain skins and characters. As DC has a HUGE history of characters and designs for them, a lot want to see their favorites on there. (Though I could care less about the actual skins as I thought the default ones are good).

Though for the more substantial content you as asking for... I don't see what else they can add. The characters already come with a Classic mode Ending. There's already pretty good sized campaign and dozens of missions that I still haven't even beat (I don't think they would want more missions as a lot of these are actually really hard and frustrating and you get something for getting 3 stars on all of them). There's also plenty of variations to the modes in the Battles mode. Mostly post launch with these kind of games. people will just stick with the multiplayer. As for fighters this is usually the main event. This is why the characters (and to some the skins) add a lot more value.

There was a season pass long ago though that was 15 dollars that got you the 4 characters and 3 Flashpoint skins.

Great stuff, I just got back into this game thinking the DLC might be out by the end of the month. Good surprise.

Warner is taking the Wii U seriously finally, second good news of the week from them.

Finaly! great to see this game finally get dlc for Wii U however i'm kinda sad there's no Arkam Harley skin seeing how shes my main.

How have they not added something so basic as friend lobbies yet? I would buy this if I could play with friends.

And five dollars is overpriced. There are what, 24 starting characters? That is less than $3 a character assuming no other original content is valued. But these are worth $5, for some reason. It isn't as if this is a free game they need to turn around and make money on.

But hopefully they will release an ultimate edition like for Mortal Kombat and by then they will have decided to add friend support.

Awesome DLC!

When the game itself drops in price, I'll get it now. Was going to skip it since I have TTT2 on Wii U, and plenty of other fighters on different formats.

That won't change the fact that I especially hope the next Guilty Gear gets an Wii U version. Or a next installment in DOA (Dimensions was GREATEST), Soul Calibur (of SC2 quality), Darkstalkers or Capcom VS,...

I nearly bought this game yesterday. I instead got nfs most wanted and arkham city ae for $30 each.

But nice to see this. I want to see the characters, but scorpion is a must whenever i get this.

Please let the DLC come to EU. My nephew and me NEED the new characters esp. Batgirl and Zod.

Great! Lots of work this week, but this weekend I'll be getting some of those DLC characters, specially Batgirl!

@Tasuki the free costumes come when you download any of the content available. Its part of the update patch for the DLC. Once you download any of the DLC just check those characters costumes in the game.

Honestly, Nintendo needs to do a better job advertising this update on the eShop! It was completely hidden and I found it largely by mistake!

Finally i thought they were lying when they said we get our DLC

Too little too late for me, i sold it once i completed the story and challenges since we got bored bored of multiplayer.

Are you guys gonna re review the game with the updated stuff or does the review score stand

@PinkSpider Nope, no re-review!

You don't have to purchase anything. The DLC skins are already there when you do the update.

eShop updated, still no DLC in Europe and Australia.

so sad no dlc on eshop's update, any reason bout that? we got the 1.1 software update and no dlc?! hope they'll available tonight 19.00...

want scorpion so bad, now just playing mk armageddon on wii... O_o

@SideScreamer & @wasf

I'm in the UK and I can see the dlc now (there's a 'View Add-On Content' button on the game's eShop page).
UK prices are £3.99 each for the new characters, and £2.39 each for the zombie mode and costume packs.

yeah thnx, it was just a matter of time, download scorpion allready! XD

This is a really good fighting game. The update is taking forever to download for me, no surprise there, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait!

Any word on when/if they'll link the Wii U game to WB IDs? Would like to get the perks I've earned from playing the iPad version.
