1. It Oughta Be a Game: Batmite: Arkham Asylum
   

   Player Chronicle -- Posted on Sep 01 2009

   Something i like to do, and i'm sure most of you do the same, is dream up games that you would like to play. Games that you pray someone, someday will have the vision and talent (and money) to make. This one came to me as i watched my big brother (360) and little brother (PS3) download and play their respective demo's for Batman Arkham asylum. (Yeah yeah, yet another discouraging kidney shot to Nintendo fans everywhere) But i was thinking about a possible Wii version for this game.
   
   Now obviously the Nintendo's little-console-that-could lacks the processing power to handle this game. But as i was flipping through a back issue of WIZARD magazine reading an article about Batman R.I.P (i think) there was a comment about Batmite's appearence. He was refered to as the cute little kid-friendly version of Batman. The Jimeny Cricket who sits on Batmans shoulder and tells him when he's acting like a tool. And i thought "Cute"? "Kid-friendly?" Thats What they say about the Wii.
   
   So what if Eidos made a Batmite game for the Wii? One that follows the events of the other game but from a different Perspective? While Batman is wandering around the asylum in the PS3/360, Batmite could be following a different path. I imagine this game cell shaded like WindWaker with a very similiar art style. The art was one of the best things about Windwaker, very animated but not immature. It would be perfect for a Batmite game.
   
   Story isn't a problem either. Though Batmite is from the 5th dimension with power rivaling Myxyzptlk's own, he could start the game in a weakened state and gain power as he progresses. After all, The Joker succesfully stole 99% of Myxyzptlk's power in the Emporer Joker arc, maybe he tryed again with Batmans own counterpart, or maybe Batmites just here cleaning up 5th dimensional residue from the Joker, its a work in progress.
   
   But this way, Eidos would have a Wii crowd to market the game to, and Wii owners could follow the exploits of the Dark knight through Arkham Asylum. (hmmm maybe a Death Jr. approach to the art would be better.

   Rule #1: Everythings better in Chibi form.
   
   I think they already have a Teen Titans game, but since i never got a chance to play it, i'd love to see it revisited. I have in fact heard of the Tiny Titans comics, never seen one though. It gets great reviews from all the podcasts i've seen it on. A Nintendo exclusive Tiny Titans game might actually work, as long as they keep the mini-games to a minimum.
   
   Yeah, i seem to open up a can of worms everytime i bring this up. You ever dedicate a lot of time pondering what you believe to be a great idea, building it up in your head, ironing out the wrinkles, just to have someone shoot it down in the time it takes their brain to form a thought? I told my brother about this and he looks at me and says " But the Wii already has a kiddy Batman game. Lego Batman." LOL i just sat there stunned. A Lego Batman: Arkham Asylum would be great, but i'm already emotionally invested in my imaginary Batmite game. lol

   i think thats a good idea..batmite is an old character but a good one.. but at the same time i dont think it would sell on kids because not most kids know who batmite is..
   
   however i like where u are going with this. i think nintendo could release a chibi version of batman if you would. if not that maybe even a teen titans game? or even better, i dont know if you have seen the tiny titans comics? they are very kid based, and look like they were drawn by kids! ID LOVE to see a tiny titans wii game! but anyhoo yeah great idea sir! sorry..lol you just made me blurb on and on cus your idea opened up 20 billion ideas in my head XD lol
