Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut is now official. Square Enix officially confirmed the game for Wii U today.
Director’s Cut is an exclusive to Wii U, Square Enix says. It’ll make use of the GamePad in a variety of different ways “including touch-screen hacking, interactive map editing, augmented sniping, grenade throwbacks and many other neural hub enhancements.” There is also “in-depth Miiverse integration” planned as well as “access to developer commentaries and in-game guides.”
Director’s Cut will also feature “overhauled boss fights, refined game balance and combat, improved AI, and striking visual improvements”. Human Revolution’s full Missing Link chapter and Tong’s Rescue mission have “been integrated seamlessly into the narrative flow of the Director’s Cut.”
Square Enix has not provided a release date for Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut. A first look will be shown at PAX East this week.

Level-5 may very well have intentions to localize Fantasy Life for western markets. A trademark for the 3DS game in Europe was filed in Europe, possibility hinting at an overseas release.
If Fantasy Life does in fact head overseas, it’ll be interesting to see which publisher distributes the title. Will Level-5 handle publishing duties itself? Or will it team up with another company?

Having problems finding LEGO City: Undercover? That could be because the game has been seeing shipping issues much like Fire Emblem: Awakening last month. Some retailers are counting on stock arriving later this week.
Of course, LEGO City is already out at some retailers and you should have a decent shot at finding the game. You could also opt to purchase the Wii U title through the eShop.
