Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition brings the acclaimed open-world superhero experience to the Wii U. The game's core remains excellent, showcasing fluid combat, engaging stealth, and an atmospheric recreation of Gotham's darkest district. The Armored Edition adds new Batsuits with minor gameplay tweaks and integrates the GamePad for map and gadget access. While the Wii U version suffers from some occasional frame rate drops, it remains a thrilling adventure, letting you embody the Dark Knight in his prime.

It's funny that this could actually be considered one of the better versions of the game. If the framerate was just a touch more stable I'd say so.
This is actually the only version of city with the shock gloves. (Just called something else lol) it makes challenge maps way easier.

And it has unique gamepad features as well. Looking at the map while I glide around is great for hunting riddler trophies.

Honestly I think this version is trying out, even if you played the others. A great port of a classic game.

By far, the best superhero game ever.

The story is amazing, the fact this game is using the first ever Batman villain is excellent, going back from the sources. Of course villains like Two-Face, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn also shines.

The gameplay and open world feels really good, Arkham City is wide, the fact you can also play with Nightwing, Catwoman and Robin (Tim Drake) makes this game have more replay value.

The only bad thing about this game it's that the original price was $50 bucks, but now it's easy to get it cheaper because Wii U it's already a dead console for Nintendo.

Amazing game held back by wii u :(

9/10

how did they manage to make it run worse than the ps3 version, by like a lot.

Same stuff as Arkham City, just with all the DLC and stuff. I believe they sold it for like $50, so not bad for people that bought a Wii U at launch, and have already played Arkham Asylum (though including it would've been super cool).

But covering Catwoman's cleavage? BIG MISTAKE. Nintendo didn't give a fuck about censorship allegations.
