Sure, they’re despicable additions in principle, but they don’t bother me on a daily basis playing the game — part of the fun is learning new Fatalities on my own so they are a non-issue....

Gearbox unable to come up with cool ideas for it Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has said thatBorderlands 2wouldn’t be coming to Wii U, due to an inability to exploit the GamePad in some sort of Earth-shattering way.
