According to Destructoid, the hit eShop title by Suda 51 & Level-5 has hit the iOS App Store in New Zealand. (@Onikato posted a link to the article in the "Recent eShop Downloads" thread in the 3DS Forum).
Does this mean it'll be hitting the App Store elsewhere? If so, is it something you'd like to get? Also, does this mean the other Guild01 titles (Crimson Shroud & Aero Porter) will hit the App Store?
I for one found Liberation Maiden to be an enjoyable experience, and the more people that play it, the better.
I can confirm that Liberation Maiden is available on the app store (Australia shares the same app store as New Zealand).
It's just $5.50 and has more features than the 3DS version of the game - online leaderboards and additional challenges, as well as Game Center achievements.
A/NZ and Canada are often used as "test runs" for game releases on the app store so that, if any unforseen bugs pop up, the developers can get feedback and don't piss off the really important markets.
always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)
It's kind of odd that Australia and New Zealand would get something like this before Japan.
Again, Australia and New Zealand is a useful test market for a game release on iOS. There's a big enough population that, if the game has some nasty bug that the developers missed, enough people will play it and comment (via ratings/ emails to the publisher) for the devs to patch it in time for a global release.
But it's not such a big market that if something does go wrong the negative reviews will destroy the global sales of the game.
Japan's a big market. I wouldn't release an iOS game there first, either.
I'm just glad Crimson Shroud will gain more attention if it were to be ported by Level 5. The more people playing this gem, the better. Apparently, Magikarp is happy too. Speaking of which, does the fourth Guild01 game (the rhythm based Merchant game) stand a chance in getting ported? I heard one of the reasons it wasn't given an eshop release outside Japan was that the Japanese humor will not translate well for non jp gamers to understand.
So the challenge mode lets people set challenges to their friends on Game Center. As none of my friends on Game Center are Australian, this is a problem.
On the plus side on the Retina iPad screen this thing looks better than it ever did on that tiny 3DS fuzzy screen.

Shows how much you love me.

It's like, I just love a cowboy
You know
I'm just like, I just, I know, it's bad
But I'm just like
Can I just like, hang off the back of your horse
And can you go a little faster?!

The presentation is awful. Aside from the in-game graphics (which look great) the menus and text is like a 3DS game blown up to retina screen size. Which looks awful.
I'm going to buy this and download it tonight for a review. Stay tuned.
Have you made your review yet?
It's done. It goes live on Thursday which is your Wednesday if you're American.
It's exactly the same score as the 3DS version, though it is ever so slightly the better game on the iPad.
OK, cool. I'm in France, though, so I'll have to "wait" a little longer, so to speak. And I suppose this is going to be on your website or here on Nintendolife?
