Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut costs quite a bit more on Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 22 Comments
For a few months now, retailers such as Amazon
, Best Buy
, and GameStop have listed pricing for Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut at $49.99 on Wii U and $29.99 on the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360. As it turns out, this is final.
Square Enix had been previously hesitant to officially reveal the game’s cost, but nothing has changed since retailers put up their original listings. We’ve confirmed with the publisher that the Wii U version will indeed set you back $50, but only $30 on other consoles.
Why the difference in pricing? Other than the fact that Deus Ex: Human Revolution has landed on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 previously, I can’t really think of anything. The experience will be more or less the same across all platforms.

Sakurai reflects on being a judge for the Japan Game Awards, says there are too many remakes and old franchises
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
At the Tokyo Game Show last month, Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai led a series of judges to determine the Game Designers’ Award as part of the annual Japan Game Awards. Sakurai wrote about the experience in his weekly Famitsu column this week, in which he said:
“When we started judging, the votes were so split that I thought more than once that we wouldn’t have a winner at all. However, in the end I think we made a good selection, since there are some things to this game you won’t see anywhere else.”
“Me and the other judges are all busy people and we have trouble getting time for games. If we spent time checking out even all the big-name titles alone, to say nothing of smartphone apps and so on, we wouldn’t be able to make any of the games we’re involved with. We’re free to judge as we like, but if you ask us whether we’re taking a fair, in-depth look at every title out there, that’s not the case. Besides, it’s presumptuous to judge someone else’s title, in a way, since any developer has to give his all to produce any kind of good product.”

Mega-Man/Mighty No. 9 creator Keiji Inafune says “if any creator has not played Mario, then they’re probably not a good creator”, shares fondness for the series

“I have total respect for Miyamoto, to the point where… It’s very strange that there are national cultural treasures – they’re traditionally sportsmen. I think it’s very strange that somebody as famous as Miyamoto hasn’t been designated one of those people. He’s talked about in all different countries. Lots of people know him. He’s pushed forward Japanese culture and interest in Japan all over the world. He’s somebody that deserves everyone’s ultimate respect, and a lot of that is due to being able to create Mario. And Super Mario Bros. 3, of course, within that, was a fantastic game.”
– Keiji Inafune
This quote comes as part of a large Super Mario related feature that IGN is putting together where many gaming-industry personalities– Greg Miller, Cliffy B, and Ted Price, for example. You can check that out here.
