Square Enix has confirmed the first details on the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition, which is set for a European release on March 26.
The package will come with six extra challenge maps on the disc, which is set to hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. The maps will have players facing off against Arkham's inmates in locales such as Crime Alley and Scarecrow's Nightmare.
But beyond that, the game will also support 3D on all three platforms. Citing an "innovative new technology" called "TriOviz 3D," console players will be able to view the game in 3D, compatible with standard definition and HDTV sets.
The Arkham Asylum GOTY will ship with a pair of 3D glasses, insuring that you'll see Bats and the Joker in all their 3D glory. No word on whether or not insurance will cover migraine treatment as a result.

Is.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME.
At last a decent (at least i hope so) 3D i can have not only on my PS3, but also on X360.
And it's all on standard, non-3D TVs.
Fuck yeah.
Though even if it's shit we may be seeing more of it...
I have glasses included with my game, sure, but what about my friends - are they SOL?
What if a new 3D Standard arises and competes (ie IMAX versus REAL3D)? Will I need 2-3 different pairs of glasses? Who knows! It's 3D!
I want more costumes for Batman! Let's get some love for the original TV series!
Good Point.
I was wondering the same thing when i saw this post too.
Blah blah blah, had to say it.
While I didn't care for AA at all, I am interested in this newfangled technology of theirs. I remain skeptical of 3D for now. I tried playing G-Force (what are you looking at?) in 3D, and they insisted on using the age old red/blue, which makes the game lose all other colors involved.
I might buy this if I have the money. I suppose I need to give AA another chance anyway.
We PS3 owners have had them as an exclusive long enough, I think it's about time to share. =)
fuck.

I might try to pick up a copy anyway. I don't really care about the 3D thing, but I'm a massive fanboy. Of Batman, that is. ;)
I think you mean in polarized 3d and not stereo 3d, sort of bother me because I am going to be a film director.
I'm done with Stereoscopic 3D. It grates on the eyes and the colors are always a mess compared to what can be done with Polarized 3D.
I see no point to 3D being in a game unless it was designed to have it. Simply running Arkham in 3D isn't going to make the experience any better, so I see no point.
Great game, unnecessary bonus feature to push more copies, only the suckers who buy it will ever know if it's worth it.
Maybe the skills they gained with 3d technology would make it worth while.
