[quote name='etcrane']Actually, interestingly enough, I believe you can play on their website, to a degree, as well as your consoles using the figures you buy, which work on every version of the game (ie any figure will work across the board). In addition, it appears there are plans for an iOS version for iphone and ipad (it was being worked on, though I don't see much about it at launch)
And as far as these not having a discount on release, TRU has a B2G1 free on ALL of these right now ... so if you're going to get in and don't think these will tank over the holidays (which the more and more I read, I don't ... Activision put a ton of $$ into these and actually pushed back their launch by an entire year to tweak and polish ... the story was written by 2 of the guys who worked on Toy Story and the score is by Hans Zimmer ... so big money has been spent), now is a good week to pick some of these up at a discount.[/QUOTE]
Irrelevant but what's crazy is that all the popular portable games are coming to iOS now, which is good for me because I have the iPod touch 4th gen. Scribblenauts is now on iOS, and I was going to buy it for the DS, but it looks like I can spend $5 on it now instead of $20 on the DS version. And from what I hear the iOS version is very good. If this comes to iOS I think we can expect the trend of portable console games coming to iOS to continue at full speed ahead.
If this comes to iOS I think it could become insanely popular, because from what I see here iOS is all the rage with kids. I think people would not be hesitant to pay $10 or so for the app and then add the figures, though I have no idea how this would work for iOS. I literately see no Nintendo systems out in public at all anymore, and instead iPods are in the hands of the kids. Methinks Nintendo is in a lot of trouble.
