Batman Arkham City Armored Edition Wii U Gameplay Video and Trailer (Wii U Launch Game)

Batman: Arkham Asylum - Armored Edition is a Wii U launch game that seeks to update the critical and commercial blockbuster from last year (2011). 

This version of the game contains all of the downloadable content from previous editions and releases of the game located directly on the Wii U disc (thus it's a Game of the Year Edition essentially), and yet contains a number of improvements and new features over the original Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions of the game.

The main crux of the Wii U version is the Bat Computer, which has been moved to the Wii U Tablet Controller (called the "Wii U GamePad), allowing you to seamlessly locate objectives, set waypoints, upgrade your gear and weaponry, get intel on enemies, equip and personalize your weapon loadout and more, all using an  intuitive touch-screen interface in the palm of your hands. 

Other all-new features include Sonar, which allow you to hold the Wii U Controller up to the screen and see the location of enemies patrolling around you, even through walls! Additionally, and completely new, is the B.A.T. Mode. A new BAT meter builds up during combat that gives Batman increased strength and power once activated.

The new controller basically further immerses you in the experience, such as by activating the Evidence Scanner and locating evidence by holding the Wii U Controller up to the screen and literally "scanning" it, an improvement over the way it was done in previous versions of the game and making use of the unique Wii U GamePad.

Using the Bat Claw, you can hook onto a container lid for example, and then use the motion sensing of the Wii U controller to jerk it off with your hands using a jerking motion.

Another all-new feature is the Cryptographic Sequencer, which gives the player an immersive new hacking mini-games to contend with. Remote Controlled Batarangs are now directly controlled using the new Wii U tablet controller, where you can guide it around using motion controls. 

You'll also get to play as Armored Catwoman!

There are sure to be other additions as well, but that's the brunt of it.

The question is, will people who've already played Batman: Arkham City be willing to pick up Armored Edition for another playthrough? And are there enough people who missed out on it the first time willing to pick up this version to make it a success on the Wii U? Time will tell.
