'The Amazing Spider-Man' confirmed for Wii U

The Amazing Spider-Man will be released on Wii U next spring, Marvel has announced.

The Nintendo port will ship with all of the game's post-release DLC and will feature Gamepad functionality, reports Polygon.



Downloadable content includes the 'Rhino Challenge Pack', the 'Oscorp Search and Destroy Pack', the 'Lizard Rampage Pack' and the 'Stan Lee Adventure Pack', which was initially available as a pre-order bonus.

The 'Stan Lee Pack' features a mission where the writer must collect pages of his latest script using Spider-Man's abilities.

The Wii U version will contain optional motion controls, while the Gamepad can be used to navigate a path through the city and access menu items.

The game is developed by Beenox Studios, the team behind Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Spider-Man: Edge of Time. Its debut trailer was shown at the Spike Video Game Awards in December 2011.

The Amazing Spider-Man released earlier this year to coincide with the movie of the same name, starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans.
