Batman: The Brave and the Bold on Wii and DS
This Fall, Nintendo fans will be treated to a double dose of Batman gaming with a “side-scrolling action thrill ride,” based on the cartoon and developed by WayForward. There’s plenty to be excited about in that sentence (particularly the thrill ride!) but the fact that WayForward is developing the game is cause enough to take a closer look. With such modern 2D masterpieces as the Wii version of A Boy and His Blob and the delightfully difficult Contra 4 on the DS, WayForward is no stranger to 2D gaming goodness. Furthermore, not only is Batman: The Brave and the Bold co-op, but by connecting the DS to the Wii, you can control Bat-Mite (Batman’s number one fan, apparently? My Batman knowledge fails me) to either aid or annoy the Caped Crusader. See below for more details, and check out the official site to see a little Batman pose menacingly.
- Explore areas of the DC Universe, including crime-filled alleys, strange alien planets, abandoned underground cities, and mysterious island laboratories (all staples of any good comic series!)
- Play co-op with characters such as Green Lantern, Robin, The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman
- Unlock gadgets such as Batarangs, Plasma Sword, and Flash grenades
