Batman: Arkham Asylum Now In 3D


Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition releases this week according to Warner Bros. But most online retailers currently list this expanded package as back ordered or not coming for another week or two.

When you eventually get your hands on it, Batman GOTY ($49.99) includes two pairs of cardboard 3D glasses that work on any TV because it's the same essential 3D technology that was used on Rad Racer in the NES days. If that doesn't float your boat, the pack includes four challenge maps on disc that were previously only available as paid DLC.

This includes:

  • Scarecrow Nightmare Challenge Map
  • Crime Alley Challenge Map
  • Totally Insane Challenge Map
  • Nocturnal Hunter Challenge Map


Most of these maps cost $3 apiece if downloaded separately.

  • it's finally happening... and i'm a little excited. this will be a cool game in 3d in my opinion

  • If you haven't already picked up Arkham Asylum, now's the time.  It's well worth the $50 price tag without the 3D glasses or challenge maps.

  • I think they could have made the glasses look cooler.  Like some special bat glasses.

  • Hopefully I can get the 3-D version without buying the full game again.

  • weird... I'll just stick with my reg version on ps3

  • Seems like it would be distracting to me. Playing a game with the action popping out at me

  • So, 3D is here to ruin video games now too?

  • Kind of Gimmicky if you ask me. The Scarecrow hallucinations may be pretty cool though/

  • Have any current generation console games used even this primitive form of 3D before now?

  • DANG I've wanted AA for a while this is a must buy for me! The 3d prolly wont be great but oh well

  • even if the 3D isn't that great, I still think I'd like this package for the extra content alone

  • Is there an option to turn the 3D off?

  • Pretty cool, though I wonder how the 3D effect will effect how the game looks?
  • The use of 3D glasses aren't mandatory, right? If so, I'm getting this.

  • NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 3D is the DEVILS WORK!!!! Keep it 2D people. On another note, this is awesome! I LOVE DLC laden re-releases of games. As soon as Fallout GOTY becomes cheaper I'm all over it

  • OMG, I though that the glasses were going to be made with a better material, I gonna feel that I'm watching Nightmare on Elm Street back in the day

  • dang just bought aa a couple weeks ago lol ill stick to that version

  • These glasses look pretty tank i just hope that the 3d will work out well and not looked really screwed up like paper people are fighting or something

  • i dont know if ill pick this up, but maybe the cheaper version for ps3, since i used to have it for 360

  • I haven't even played the game yet. I plan to get the regular version though. I don't see how the 3D would enhance my experience.
