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.”

Aonuma on visuals in Zelda games, Link Between Worlds didn’t begin as a sequel, wants next Hyrule “to be a setting no one has ever imagined before”

Changes to the graphics also help to change preconceived ideas and have a big impact on the gameplay.
