If you have not had enough Bat-action in the past year, get ready for some more.

We have known that a Wii U version of Batman: Arkham City was coming for a long time now. Because of this, it come as no surprise that the game will be available at the Wii U’s launch. While the game will not be the freshest Wii U title to hit store shelves on November 18 (in North America), the belated release has plenty of Wii U exclusive features to look forward to.
First and foremost, the most notable addition to Batman: Arkham City is the new suit that both Batman and Catwoman wear. While in combat, energy is stored within the suit, which, at a certain level, is released to activate B.A.T. mode, boosting your attack and defense.
The GamePad’s screen represents the Bat-Computer, and is responsible for the games touted real-time features. Using the Wii U GamePad, you can check out your objectives, or give the map a quick glance while still actively playing the game on your television screen. In addition to being able to check the map more efficiently, you can set custom waypoints by tapping on the GamePad’s screen, which will then point you in the direction you want to go via the television screen.
You can use the screen (Bat-Computer) to do a plethora of different things, including changing out weapons, checking out character bios, or using sonar to locate enemies and hidden Riddler Trophies. While not essential to gameplay, it is fun to note that any time you touch the GamePad’s screen, Batman will similarly look at his arm (the location of the Bat-Computer on his suit.)
The GamePad implementation does not stop there. Gadgets will now feature “enhanced” GamePad support: Explosive gel and the remote controlled batarang are among those that can be controlled using the controller. For instance, the remote-controlled batarang can be directed using gyro controls and the explosive gel, once set, can be detonated in any order or all at once using the touchscreen.
Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition is set to launch on November 18 in North America alongside Wii U. The DLC included on the other console versions of the game will be available on the disc with the Wii U version.
