Man, this sort of thing gets on my nerves sometimes! The 3DS rhythm/music game “Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure” is getting an iOS port, and- despite charging at least $30 if you buy it on 3DS- users will pay a measly nothing dollars and nothing cents. It’ll be one of those games that’s free to play, but charges you for things like costumes and songs and whatnot, but I’d reckon that even if you bought a multitude of extras, you wouldn’t come anywhere NEAR the price tag of the 3DS version.

Here’s a question for you: Why don’t they make it for iOS, charge $30 there, and then give it to 3DS owners for free!?

Of course we all know why. But it’s still frustrating.

“It is kind difficult to mention much because we are focusing on the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions as the PR focus. But we can say this – because we are collaborating with Nintendo we really wanted to create features like [the Mega Mushroom] that are only possible because we are collaborating with Nintendo. That’s just one example and we hope that everyone will be looking forward to the other things we have to show.” – Tekken Tag Tournemtn 2 Producer, Katsuhiro Harada

It sort of sounds like he might be hinting at the fact that there are more little bits of Nintendo-y goodness in the game, but I doubt we’ll learn about them until closer to the launch of the game and console.

Ubisoft still hasn’t resumed work on the Wii U version of Ghost Recon Online. According to producer Theo Sanders, the team has been focusing all of its efforts on the PC version.

“As of right now, the entire Ghost Recon team is focused on the PC version only. The Wii U version is on hold. If in the future we have an opportunity to address it again, we’ll make future announcements. But as of right now we’re focused completely on the PC version.”

Fortunately, Ubisoft didn’t move away from the Wii U version because of issues with the console. It was really just a matter of the team needing to concentrate all of its efforts on the PC game.

“It’s not a reaction to anything specific happening to [Wii U]. It was a really fun, cool platform to develop for. But you realise once you launch an online service that it’s an all-consuming effort, so we really wanted to have all hands on deck. It was the same dev team working on both SKUs, and [we] really wanted to focus on doing the PC version right. I’m not really in a position to talk about the Wii U, but our particular choice for Ghost Recon Online was purely based on the fact that we had one dev team working on both SKUs and it was an all-consuming effort with the PC launch. It’s tough launching an online game.”

So Ghost Recon Online may be out of the question for Wii U’s immediate future, but that doesn’t mean it won’t ever land on the system in the future.

“It’s hard to say how the future will go for Ghost Recon Online. I think in the future as different platforms evolve towards service models and towards being really online-driven, community-driven platforms, then we’ll definitely be looking at what our options are. I think it’s one of the strengths of the PC platform and I believe it’s something that all console manufacturers understand to be a strength of the PC platform, and will definitely be looking for interesting and innovative ways to bring their own experiences to.”
