A this point we’ve established that Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut is priced $20 higher on Wii U compared to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. That’s just in the US, though. What about other territories?

In an interesting twist, Director’s Cut costs ever-so-slightly cheaper on Wii U over at Amazon UK. Pricing comes in at £23.99 for Wii U and £24.99 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. GAME and Play list the Wii U version at £29.99, but that doesn’t seem too bad either given how other console versions seemed to be priced fairly similarly.

Here’s a bit of trivia that people often forget/are unaware of when it comes to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: series producer Eiji Aonuma actually wrote the lines for the King of Red Lions.

Aonuma’s son had just been born when Wind Waker was in development. This influenced the way he wrote the part for King of Red Lions, as he wanted his son to play the game and therefore ended up writing the role in “a self-important manner that children would understand.”

Aonuma spoke about this topic, Zelda’s form/appearance in the game, and Tingle in a 4Gamer interview. You can find some of these comments below, and even more translated quotes over at Zelda Informer.

Yesterday, we were given official confirmation that Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut will cost $50 on Wii U. That’s in spite of the fact that the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions are priced at $30.

Wondering why the price discrepancy exists? Square Enix provided Kotaku with the following statement:

“This is the first time Deus Ex is available on the Wii U. We have an extensive feature set which makes full use of the Wii U GamePad, plus we were able to add exclusive features to the Wii U version which we think Nintendo fans will appreciate and truly immerse them into the world of Deus Ex like never before.”
