SEGA pulling a fast one on 3DS owners, releasing Rhythm Thief on iOS for free

Despite Rhythm Thief costing $30 at retail on 3DS, SEGA will be releasing the game free of charge on iOS only months after the handheld console release.

There will be some paid DLC but it isn't likely to get anywhere near the $30 3DS game price.

stop using XTC Sega, I'm angry for decisions like this,when people are paying full price for game and after short time others can get (little bit almost) same game for FREE?!?!?

Axonometri4248d ago

Not that it makes it right... but these Dev's and Publishers have been putting games on mobile for free or much lower cost since before the 3DS came out. Pay attention. Buy wisely.

Technical World4248d ago

Agreed, while it's certainly NOT right developers have done this for awhile now, your just catching on? What about the Sonic 4 games? You could pay over ten dollars on systems or pay what was it two? (correct me if I'm wrong) for the iOS version. The same with the Assassin's Creed games for DS that were ported to iOS for like five bucks compared to thirty five (once again correct me if I'm wrong).

Axonometri4248d ago

I say it's not right.. My second thought on that is this, Every port or re-release onto mobile or iOS is dumbed down. What your getting on a touch only control device is not what your getting on the 3DS etc.

Was planing on getting this for my 3DS, but now I'm glad I waited.

I have Fire Emblem Fates LE, the European one. Not sure if it's as valuable as the US version, but it certainly was in high demand.

Chevalier92d ago

Don't think the European one would be as valuable since it's not region free. I got mine box and all and all those Yokai Watch games

Nyxus92d ago

I also have some of the Yokai Watch games, but also the PAL versions which don't seem to be that valuable.

Chocoburger92d ago

Its not often I actually have games on the 'most expensive list' but I do own Rhythm Thief and Layton vs. Ace Attorney. I believe both of them are sealed as well.

Chevalier92d ago

Nice! Hopefully they re-release the Layton games on the Switch. Surprised they haven't already

Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure

Sega has been on a downward spiral for the last few years, they have failed to really reignite the flame for the Sonic series and haven’t really been able to deliver a must have game for a while. With this being the case many planned projects had to be cancelled but really what is surprising is how one game managed to slip through the cracks and that game being Rhythm Thief. The question is however why did this game slip through? It is simple some toe tapping music and a great story that really is set to deliver.
