E3 2012: What's New in Arkham City for Wii U?

You, sir, have no idea what you're talking about. With the exception of the GFWL, both Arkham Asylum and City are some of the best PC ports around. The support for Surround displays and 3D was superb and all in it was a fantastic job. You should be ashamed of yourself for spouting such nonsense.

Why isn't this called Arkham City U? That would be the best party university in the country.

The Wii U: Nintendo's most British console yet.

Sure, I get what you guys are saying: All they really did was add the ability to tap on a screen to switch between gadgets and throw in a few other last minute gimmicks.

But then again, would you really want them to fundamentally change anything in a game this good? I didn't hear anybody complaining that you couldn't shout "I'M BATMAN" at your Kinect in order to punch thugs on the 360 version.

Rocksteady doesn't work on the Wii U game, good for you or something.

Armor and the new meter, nothing else is new, awesome.

the giant bomb community is like an echo chamber. why even bother leaving a comment if you're just going to repeat what someone else has already said? anyway, i don't know the specifics of the wii u, but this is a far more inspired implementation of a peripheral, specifically when it comes to menu navigation.

Thats right Sloth echooooo!

Switching between screens and having to use a tablet for gadgets maps etc looks useless at best.

Anyway, it is cool that people who only own/buy Nintendo consoles can play this game.

B. A. T. mode? What? Why?

When will Nintendo figure out that their fancy boxes full of sensors are no good without any compelling software? The Wii U is an android tablet in a market place full of ipads.

This trailer made me lose interest in a game I've already beaten and love

New controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller new controller. New controller.

I was pretty disappointed in this game. I was hoping for a better atmosphere, like I saw in Asylum, and the story just didn't engage me at all. This definitely won't change my mind, but some of it is neat anyways.

The amount of times the narrator says "new controller" is almost hypnotic

Arkham City was a great game, and I'm glad more people have the chance to play it. But.... most people have already played it. It's old news. It coming to the WiiU is a bulletpoint, not a highlight.

Ah. So Nintendo trapped a guy in a room so they'd have at least one person who hasn't played Arkham City...

Nice but I already got it.

Looks interesting. But enough to get me to buy Arkham City again? Probably not.

It doesn't seem like there's much of a difference beyond the armor and gadgetry display HUD.

Yep, that's Batman alright.

It's just not that impressive. I actually haven't played Arkham City to completion yet, but this still isn't doing anything for me. Also, the tv screen changes to what you're seeing on the Wii-U screen? Is that right? because it looks like that defeats the purpose of having another screen entirely.

the one guy who still only gets nintendo consoles is crazy excited that he can play this now.

Doesn't look as good as the PC version.

Maybe it has a U in it because that's how it's spelled?

I held off on Arkham City, so maybe I'll pick it up on Wii U.

Don't see the point of purchasing this again if all it brings is looking at your gadgets on a small screen.

No thanks
