I didn't expect to have a chance to watch the Nintendo Direct broadcast but sometimes life throws you a little bonus 
There were some cool and unexpected announcements. (These are just some highlights. Make sure to watch the video yourself or find a detailed summary to get all the info.)

In 2006 Grasshopper Manufacture, best known at the time for its surreal GameCube shooter Killer7, tried its hand at the portable RPG with a quirky little game called Contact. An action RPG at heart, Contact failed to live up most people’s expectations of the genre, but its unique ideas make it worth remembering.

More than any other developer, Telltale Games is responsible for the popular resurgence of graphic adventures. (They also validated the episodic model, but that’s a blog for another day.) They made their name and indeed their business from licenses of popular properties like Sam & Max, Back to the Future, and The Walking Dead. But given their episodic business model and tendency for humor, I think Telltale has overlooked the property best suited to their strengths: Dr. Who.

Okay, so I intended to post this yesterday (Wednesday) but I completely spaced it. I blame that on BioShock Infinite, frankly, which I haven't had that much time to play yet but so far it's really good. And writing this at all is cutting into my playing time, lol, so let's make this quick!

Deus Ex: Human Revolution is one of my favorite games of this generation, and Square Enix is bringing a Director's Cut version to the Wii U sometime soon. Normally that wouldn't elicit much of a response from me. I think it's great when a great game becomes available to a wider audience but I've already played it, so it doesn't affect me, right. Not in this case. Eidos Montreal is fixing the game's weakest and most frustrating part: the boss fights. While at PAX East, one of the game's designer's told Joystiq (read the whole story here) that the level layouts have been completely redone to allow multiple ways to take down each boss, like stealth and hacking, instead of just pouring as many bullets into them as possible. As he said, "The boss fights are now as they should have been."
