Theatrhythm Final Fantasy hits iPhone, iPad today
No big surprise here, the beloved 3DS rhythm game is out for iOS devices today (New Zealand shop, U.S. link incoming). Also unsurprising: in-app purchases are insane in the membrane, crazy insane, got no brain.
The app is free to download with two songs (“One Winged Angel” and “Zanarkand”), but then you’ll spend $0.99 on each song, $2.99 on each song bundle for the numbered Final Fantasy games, and $1.99 on each character. Buying all of the content will set you back around $90. Oh, and this mobile edition lacks the EMS feature that lets you play extended versions for a number of songs.
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for 3DS is currently $30 at Amazon (includes around 80 songs, more available as DLC).
You can grab the iPhone and iPad Pokédex app in North America and Europe now, so you can conveniently access info about a variety of Pokémon on your iOS device.
The app is $1.99 with data for the Pokémon of the Unova region — regional packs for Kanto, Johto, Sinno, Hoenn are priced at $5.99 each. If you want the complete set, you’ll end up spending around $26. For comparison, the Pokédex 3D Pro app on eShop is $15.
BUY Pokemon Black/White Version 2, Pokemon Conquest
![Pokédex app coming to iPhones and iPads in Japan tomorrow. I know Nintendo has vowed not to bring its games to smartphones, but this isn’t as big a surprise as you’d think — it isn’t the first iOS app The Pokemon Company (a Nintendo subsidiary) has put out, and it’s not like these releases are anything like the real games. Also remember that the last app never released outside Japan.
The iOS Pokédex is initially cheaper than the $15 Pokédex 3D Pro app on eShop. It’s ¥170 ($2) to get the iOS edition with Unova Pokémon, but getting data for the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions will cost an extra ¥500 ($6) each. You could buy a real Pokedéx with that money!

It’s Super Mario 3D Land for iPhones! Er, or rather a game that has the enemies, power-ups, and stage elements that are nearly identical to Nintendo’s game… It’s actually called 3D Cartoon Land: Safari, and is made by Walnut JZ, the same people behind other iOS classics like God of Warriors and Fury Birds.
According to Walnut JZ, “This unique game requires you to quickly jump over obstacles and collect coins. But you are not secure in this beautiful cartoon world. An angry tortoise could bite you. An easy and smooth control makes it very funny and to jump or run.”

So many tears are being spilled today over The World Ends With You - Solo Remix, Square Enix’s newly announced iPhone and iPad port for its beloved DS RPG.
We already knew that the company would announce the iOS game when its countdown page expired today, but there were some cruel promises that there might be more news that would excite fans, that maybe there would be a 3DS sequel announced or something else awesome.
Nope! All we got was this trailer for the iOS game’s release tomorrow ($17.99 on iPhone, $19.99 on iPad), and some details on the port’s new features. Before Square Enix disabled ratings on this video’s Youtube page, it had thousands of dislikes and only a handful of likes.

I’ve seen plenty of Game Boy-style iPhone cases, but this is new: a Game Boy replacement back cover for iPhone 4S. Are you so committed to looking like you’re listening to the back of a small GameBoy that you’re willing to take your phone apart?
DealExtreme will issue you the supplies for your challenge.

Tribute Games’ wonderful Breakout/RPG hybrid Wizorb is now available for iPhones and iPads, which means so is our mascot Tiny, who makes a cameo in the game.
I can’t believe how many platforms Tiny has now appeared on because of Wizorb — Xbox Live Indie Games, Windows/Mac, PlayStation Network, and now iPhones!
It’s a fantastic game that combines brick breaking with a fantasy RPG. And it has a charming retro look from Paul Robertson, maker of rad pixelart and animations.

The last thing I’d expect to hear out of the “Casual Connect” conference is news about vintage Chunsoft “sound novels,” but it happened! Agetec will localize Kamaitachi no Yoru – originally released on Super Famicom but ported to a bunch of other platforms – for release on iOS and Android.
Night of the Kamaitachi is a murder mystery that uses silhouetted characters, relying on sound and music to set the creepy mood. The idea of this port is apparently to target it at ebook fans. It would be quite a trick to use that marketing to make something suddenly mainstream that used to be super, super niche.

“Song of Nameko (Funghi)” by Haruka Fukuhara. So, remember when I said that Funghi from Touch Detective was becoming weirdly popular after an iPhone spinoff game came out?
Well, here’s more proof, the lead single from the “Nameko’s CD” collection, an album of songs about the mushroom guy from Touch Detective. You can listen to samples of all the tracks, including a bouncy Sexy-Synthesizer chiptune song, on the official website.

This familiar guy popped up while I was playing Pocket Planes, a new airline sim for iOS by NimbleBit (Tiny Tower). Though Nintendo has said multiple times that it’s not bringing its flagship franchise to iPhone, that hasn’t stopped iOS developers from finding ways to drop the Mario brothers into their games.
Anyway, like many other iPhone owners, I spent the past weekend addicted to this free game. It’s one of those simple titles that you can play while watching TV, returning to it during AMC’s commercial breaks for O Brother, Where Art Thou?, as was the case for me. It’s the perfect experience for a mobile gaming distraction.
3DS is such a different platform, but I wonder if it could get away with something like this — a fun, free waster that you can play in the background while doing something else. While Nintendo is sort of encouraging that by now allowing microtransactions on its systems, we haven’t heard any free-to-play titles announced for eShop yet.

Funghi iPhone cases, available from Strapya. After the release of Touch Detective and its sequel on iPhone, Funghi is totally a thing now – whereas before he just looked like one. There’s a spinoff game, Mushroom Gardening Kit, about growing Funghi and various other suggestive-looking mushroom pals, aaaaaaaand a bunch of spinoff merchandise, like these cases.
And this little Funghi that sticks out of your iPhone headphone jack!
And this lanyard!
And this stuffed oni mushroom thing!
In fact, there’s a surprising amount of Funghi stuff. I had no idea!
