Batman: Arkham City is heading to the upcoming Wii U.

Yes the caped crusader, the dark knight, the man who travelled the world to become a ninja, a detective and a superhero, is headed onto the Wii U in this revamped version of Arkham City.

Warner Brother games Montreal are changing some of the game’s mechanics and controls to better fit the Wii U’s unique controller. Gadgets will be controlled in new ways and new gadgets have been introduced, such as Sonar mode which allows Batman to quickly probe his surroundings.

Apparently the menu systems will all be controlled through the GamePad, thus alliowing players to change gadget, upgrade abilities and more without breaking up the game.

The most interesting new addition, and the source of the game’s new title, is the addition of the Battle Armoured Tech mode. This is a special battle-suit usable by both Batman and Catwoman, and can be used to unleash built-up kinetic energy from combat, allowing the two to deal more damage. Personally I was hoping for the giant robot-suit that batman occasionally brings out to fight Bane, oh well.

Batman: Arkham City Armoured Edition will also be playable in GamePad-only mode. This means that the entire game can be played on the GamePad’s screen rather than on a larger monitor, allowing you to play under the covers after bedtime without mum noticing.

As is rather common with later releases on new consoles, this game will come with all the released DLC. This means that on top of the main game, you also get:

• Harley Quinn’s Revenge pack
• Catwoman Pack
• Nightwing Bundle Pack
• Robin Bundle Pack
• Challenge Map Pack
• Arkham City Skins Pack
