MCV recently had the opportunity to interview Nintendo UK marketing boss Shelly Pearce. Needless to say, Pearce had a whole lot to say about the Wii U, including the system’s sales, future, price, audience, and more. Some 3DS and 2DS topics were addressed as well.

You can find the full interview at MCV here. There’s also a Q&A roundup after the break.

Square Enix explains why Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut costs more on Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 14 Comments

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.”
