Takahashi: Noby Noby iPhone is "bait" News
iPhone PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
Noby Noby Boy creator Keita Takahashi has said that he's using the iPhone version of the game as "bait" to secure more funding for the ongoing development of the PS3 original.
"We used too much time and money to develop Noby Noby Boy, and there won't be any major updates in the future," Takahashi told Eurogamer in an interview to mark the launch of a free multiplayer patch.
"However, I am trying to use the iPhone version in order to get more money from our top executives in order to keep updating the PS3 version. Basically, I am using the iPhone version as bait."
Takahashi also said he wants the PS3 and iPhone versions to interact. "In short, I want GIRL to grow thanks to the iPhone as well. Even if you don't have a PS3 you could create a PSN account and transfer BOY's length form your iPhone to GIRL, that's actually what I would like to do," he said.
"To implement this, I am sure that we will meet a lot of obstacles. If we could have some kind of cross-platform fun, and we could make some game hardware competition like which one is going faster, bad criticism may also decrease as well too."
Head over to today's Keita Takahashi interview for more on the iPhone game, and the multiplayer update, including exclusive videos of it in action.

First!
Grand (if very silly) game. New stuff to interact with on other planets can only be good. You can only fart so many villagers at spinning tops after all...

Does anyone really still give a fuck about first these days? I thought that was a 90s thing.
I'm not too sure that Sony would be happy about the iPhone interacting with the PS3 in preference to the PSP. I'm not sure how closed Sony's online system is though and if it could prevent such interaction. Not that I'm saying that's what they should do - gamers benefit from having more choice after all - but it's definitely the kind of thing I see them doing if they have the ability to do so. Calling it some kind of security threat due to the high rate of cracked iPhones and unsigned code having access to PSN or whatever would probably be enough to please the soccer moms - of course, totally ignoring the even higher rate of cracked PSPs doing the same thing. "Gwyn gwel y fran ei chiw" after all. ;)
