Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition announced for Wii U

Batman: Arkam City, previously announced for Wii U, was shown during Nintendo's E3 press conference.

It will be subtitled Armored Edition and is in the works at WB Montreal.

Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition contains all of the content from Batman: Arkham City, including all available downloadable content, and introduces Battle Armored Tech (B.A.T.) Mode and the new Armored Suits for both Batman and Catwoman. The upgraded battle suit gives players an additional power-up by allowing them to build kinetic energy during combat.

When activated, players enter B.A.T. mode and dole out more damage than previously possible.

“Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition harnesses the power of the Wii U system and the Wii U GamePad with features that allow fans to further immerse themselves in the role of Batman like never before,” said Martin Tremblay, president, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

“WB Games Montréal evolved the incredible hit game by Rocksteady into a truly unique experience on Wii U.”

The Wii U GamePad also provides instant access to the wrist-mounted Batcomputer throughout the game, allowing players to use the touch screen to seamlessly select objectives, choose their gadget, track forensic evidence, upgrade their gear, detonate explosive gel, and more, all while remaining immersed in the action.

Additionally, all gadgets have been reimagined to utilize the power of the GamePad, offering an unprecedented level of accuracy when using the Batarang and scanning for clues.
