Posted October 28, 2013 So it's used as a map display only. No inventory, weapons, progress, upgrades, character bios. To set waypoints or summon the Batwing you have to go to the pause screen. That's a pretty big step back for me. Such a big step-back that I'll be giving this a miss. Shame Batman: AC: AE used the Gamepad so well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a pretty big step back for me. That is shocking, disgusting actually. And surely an incredibly simple thing to implement. So bizarre... Definitely wait for this to be a tenner!! Really hope wii u had a good christmas so it starts getting a touch more support and respect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really hope wii u had a good christmas so it starts getting a touch more support and respect. Well sales have picked up quite a bit, nearly 70k in the last week. I have two hopes really, either it picks up and games start coming back to the system, or if it doesn't Nintendo do what they did in the GC era and simply pimp out some of their awesome IPs to other devs - Namco with Starfox, Sega with F-Zero and then invest in some exclusives like the old Capcom 5. As for this game though, they should have done with with the pad by the sounds of it. However I mainly used the pad for off screen play in Arkham City. If you're looking for great pad usage I hear Deus Ex is where it's at. I can also say you definitely won't be disappointed with Deus Ex, it's a truly magnificent game.

Posted October 28, 2013 Aaaand to the back-burner this game goes. That...sucks. The Gamepad implementation on City was superb. It made the game seamless, it flowed so well. Not in a great rush to pick this up now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2013 Makes sense it doesn't have the extra gamepad stuff to me, it is a prequel after all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2013 I'm actually pretty excited to give this game a go. It would be my first game in the series and from what I can tell based on the negative comments this game has been getting in reviews, that would be a good thing. I wouldn't have a problem with the city not being as lively as it is in Arkham City, having not played it etc... and this way it seems if I go on to play the other games, the series will just keep getting better and better. The setting and what they're going for in this one really appeals to me. Think I might get it at Christmas, and enjoy the snowy Gotham! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 8, 2013 Got my Wii copy today and... Uhh. Why is the case white, exactly? Probably because you got the Wii version instead of the Wii U one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2013 Yeah the blue cases only indicate which Wii games work with the Gamepad accessory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2013 Haha. Guess I got a super rare Wii version then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2014 Its disgusting! it really is! i've only ever bought two season passes, this being one of them, in the vein hope that it will mean DLC would look viable! this will destroy what sales they have left if WiiU owners with an alternate console/pc choice know they can get the full version potentially cheaper on another console Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 19, 2014 Just finished the game, it's not nearly as bad as some sites suggested. Although it wasn't as good as the other two in the Arkham series at all. I didn't notice the lack of Gamepad stuff as I played it entirely on the Gamepad with Off-TV play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
