Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition coming for Wii U

At Nintendo's E3 conference today, Warner Bros. VP of Production Reid Schneider revealed Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition for release on Wii U.

The game will be optimized for the console and allow players to select features of Batman's armor and gadgets from the GamePad.

For example, players can detonate explosive gel, setting traps off piecemeal or all at once. WB has also remodeled the remote-controlled batarang and installed a special B.A.T. Mode that allows players to dole out extra damage.

The Armored Edition will be compatible with the Catwoman segments.
