Topic: Batman Arkham Trilogy

The whole Batman Arkham Trilogy coming to Switch.

Long rumored.

Finally happy to see it's official.

Asylum and City were expected, but I didn't expect we'd get Knight as well.

Anybody ever heard of Turn me up?

@Ryu_Niiyama

A quick search suggests they had a part in porting Borderlands Legendary Edition to the Switch.

Got whichever game came to Wii U (City, I think?) and just couldn't get into it. It was far too complicated. It seemed like every button on the controller had about 20 different things it could do depending on the situation in the game. Are the other games similar? Because I do think the series looks cool and I want to like it.

@Xyphon22 Two games came to Wii U, City and Origins and they are all pretty much the same. Asylum is more linear so you might enjoy that more but it's not gonna be hugely different.

I still reckon Origins is better than Knight, hack story and the horrible Batmobile ruined Knight imo.

a Batman Arkham Trilgoy for the nintendo switch? Not bad but odd that theyre not including Origins while theyre adding Arkham Knight.

it would be nice to have but I already and still have the Batman Arkham games for my Playstation 3 and Arkham Knight for my X Box One S which i still need to beat the very last boss fight in Arkham Knight

@XandertheWise The trilogy is considered to be Asylum, City and Knight. Origins was made by another studio so people don't include it.

@jump

Agreed. The story for Knight was ruined before the original launch of the game for anyone familiar with the Red Hood story arc. And the the batmobile was overused. Too many tank sidequests. Just...not fun.

@Link-Hero Like what @Magician said, I just thought it was too overused imo. Like think of Zelda Breath or Kingdom Sad if you had to ride a horse all of the time in the game.

I loved Knight but my favourite is Asylum.
Even if one of the games is ALL on the cartridge I will get it.
If the other/s are on download codes I will give them away here

PS: There is NO bad Batman Arkham game.

Arkham Knight would have been perfect with a bit less batmobile and better boss fights (Deathstroke's encounter was beyond disappointing). City is fantastic too, but that ending...

I just hope these aren’t cloud based.

@ZeldaFan83 Last year a French retailer had a retail listing. So I'd like to assume these are running natively. With a few graphical downgrades for Knight of course.

@jump well i happen to still have fun playing Arkham origins.

Meanwhile Im still stuck at the very end of Arkham Knight to take on the last boss and those stupid annoying tanks that take forever to hide them and take them on one at a time because of their stupid long long range radar things that take you down in an instant

I just got the return to Arkham collection lmao! Anyone that might be on the fence, take it from someone who is still in the middle of there city playthrough, the first game alone is still one of the best superhero games you’ll play.

These are excellent games (if you can deal with how needlessly long and needlessly edgy Knight can get), that everyone should buy if they have even a casual interest in Batman or this genre of game. Arkham City is still the high point of this type of game imo, partially because of its excellent pacing by the standards of open world gaming.

I remember when I heard about that last year and was excited. Knight was so poorly optimized when it was released that I’m interested to see how it runs. Especially when it rains.

last year i bought and downloaded the Arkham Asylum and City collection for my X Box On S and played them a little bit even though I already still have them the physical games for my Playstation 3. the X Box One version of the Batman games have more lighing in them which is kind of cool i guess.

i still think its odd that Nintendo's release of the Arkham game collection will only have Asylum, City and Knight. Why not throw in Origins as a free download to complete the Arkham games?

@XandertheWise Different development studios? Asylum, City and Knight were developed by Rocksteady Games, while Origins is by WB Games Montreal.
