Developed by WB Games Montreal, Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition is the enhanced version of the award-winning blockbuster videogame created by Rocksteady Studios. The Wii U version delivers the same impactful story and gameplay as the original title, this time with enhanced gameplay mechanics and features made possible with the Wii U and the new controller. Batman: Arkham City is based on DC Comics' core Batman license and is set in Arkham City, the new maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Featuring an incredible Rogues Gallery of Gotham City's most dangerous criminals including Catwoman, The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze and many others, the game allows players to genuinely experience what it feels like to be The Dark Knight delivering justice on the streets of Gotham City.

New Features

Battle Armored Tech Mode (B.A.T. Mode) – A new upgraded battle suit for both Batman and Catwoman gives players an additional power-up by allowing them to build up kinetic energy during combat. When activated, Batman enters B.A.T. mode, whereby he doles out more damage and has a heighted sense of enemy locations.

Wii U New Controller Functionality – The new controller's touch screen allows players to truly be The World's Greatest Detective with the newly designed, wrist-mounted Batcomputer. Players can select their gadget, track evidence, upgrade their gear, set and detonate bombs, and more, all without ever leaving the game.

Reimagined Gadgets – All gadgets have been reimagined to utilize the power of the new controller. For example, players can now use the new Sonar mode that enables Batman to quickly probe his surroundings to develop the tactics needed for success. Players can then select, customize and equip their preferred gadget loadout, as well as access a real-time map of Gotham without ever leaving the action of the game. The new controller also allows for an unprecedented level of accuracy when using the Batarang and scanning for clues.

Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition Content – Included on disc are all previously released downloadable content: Harley Quinn's Revenge Pack, Catwoman Pack, Nightwing Bundle Pack, Robin Bundle Pack, Challenge Map Pack and Arkham City Skins Pack.

The features for the wii-u look cool for this game, but the fighting itself has me a little worried..

lol Nintendo bombed so hard at E3, even worse then Microsoft. No new ips just compatible verisons of old games for WiiU & the attempt/presentation at trying to sell their shit was even worse then the product itself.

If the reboot of the Batman franchise looks like this it will fall into the same category of all the other generic comic book movies

I don't think Nintendo cares what core gamers want, they've always been family oriented based since there first console and they haven't changed that to this day. It works for them. Every family I know has a wii and every girl has it for the workout games. I don't think Nintendo minds being in third place. I don't see them closing up shop anytime soon

His suit being armored is funny, cuz he's already wearing the Arkham asylum armored suit in Arkham City. So now he's even MORE armored.

This is nice, but after watching the functionality with the Xbox kinnect and a tablet or smartphone, I don't see why you couldn't do the same thing on that platform.

this looks dumb, it just does what the select button does in regular arkham city. or you can move it around to scan in detective mode. If you have played this game or owned it then that is dumb. THe new nintendo is just dumb. I can't believe they wouldn't try to make some form of a good gaming system..

BatSlam @ The Wii is a good gaming system. It just depends on what games you play. Wii Sports and Wii Resorts are amazing on Wii but games like Arkham City or MW3 don't work for it. That was an ignorant statement.

Nintendo haters are usually 12-year-olds who like to pretend they are cool and mature.
