what about Deus Ex Human Revolution DC?

Yeah, could be. I don't remember how much that cost... $29.99 vs. $39.99 or something?

30$ VS 50$ IIRC

$30 × 1.7 = $51

That must be it.

Nintendo has to learn a lesson from this. They made Wii U without consulting the 3rd parties and now they have to pay it. Wii U is a console with an old architecture (PowerPC like Wii, PS3 and X360) versus X86-64 that Xbox One and PS4 have wich makes developing games much more easier for 3rd parties

If I remember correctly, there was actually a lot of talk about working with third parties when developing the Wii U. EA was clearly a major part of that. There was a reason EA was on the stage with Nintendo and a big part of their presentations. Something changed just before launch.

I don't think anyone has posted this yet but I'm pretty sure this is a ex EA developer who got cut off from them recently http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/128214-Exclusive-EA-Shutters-North-Carolina-Studio and that explains the AE name. And the Wii U stratagy, they are the anti EA.

Also some games that they MAY have developed. Since I think this is them. http://www.ign.com/companies/ea-north-carolina

Very nice find. Unfortunately, those games do not inspire much confidence in the quality of game they are going to announce. I hope to be wrong.

When they decide to make a product, they're making an obligation to provide a service. If that service isn't quality, they're not treating their consumers right.

Quality is in the eye of the beholder. I don't buy cheap electronics and expect them to perform the same as higher priced products. I don't buy cheap consoles and expect quality.

That thought of obligation and entitlement stems from expectations that are not based on reality.

It's a completely reasonable expectation that Wii U ports shouldn't be sub-PS360 technically. Devs like Criterion and Frozenbyte show us how they should be.

Nintendo have made mistakes, but the 3rd party problem isnt 100% their fault like many here would like to believe.

They got me in. I'm gonna buy this. If a developer puts some love in the game then it gets good, really good. All those nice touches and stuff.
Nintendo is well known for that, they add a lot of minor details and polish, even for small games. Same with Team Ico and Riot games.
If AE games attitude translates to all that then they have me.
