I was considering getting this, but if the Gamepad features have been axed, I guess I'll skip it.


I didn't buy Arkham City on Wii U because already had the 360 version what exactly did the Gamepad features add?


Arkham City: 

-Map was 100% available at all times if you wanted and you could just touch a spot on the map to mark your destination

-Alfred's calls and most other communications audio came from the Gamepad

-Puzzles like decyphering doors or Zsasz minigame on the touchscreen

-Scanning Crime scenes was done by holding the controller and moving it around

-You could touch select your items with the controller instead of d-pad so your arsenal was always available at all times

-upgrading, enemy profiles, missions, etc were all on the controller without needing to pause

-Play off screen without a TV at all

-BAT Mode--basically Electrocutioner's gloves in Arkham Origins in form and function

-All DLC from the 360 versions were on disc

-best graphics but had framerate issues (really just the game loading new areas caused a momenary sputter)

 

 


Some but not all of those features are in Arkham Origins. AC is so cheap on Wii U now. I may pick it up just to give those features a whirl.

They were nice, but they still aren't worth you picking up an extra copy of the game, unless you haven't bought any DLC for it and figure you might as well get the more complete version with all content on one disc.
