Coming out the same day as Arkham Origins, Blackgate featured an entirely original storyline and is reminiscent of Metroid Prime. In fact the developers of this new handheld game were part of the team that created Metroid Prime, so the comparison makes sense.

This video's narrator (Armature game director Mark Pacini) shows interested gamers the prison level of Blackgate while discussing level design, controls and combat and Batman's investigative and detective features. Overall, the handheld game focuses on puzzles, navigation, combat, platforming and some light stealth. Basically you're playing a great Batman game just on a smaller scale in the palm of your hand!
