Ubisoft has a placeholder page up on their website for the original Prince of Persia game. On it, there’s an icon that says “Available on the iPhone App Store” in traditional Apple fashion, but the application is nowhere to be found in the store. Ubisoft also lists the release date as 4/29/2010, which is almost a month ago now.
Surely it has to be coming, right? I hope so; there’s nothing better than reliving your childhood by playing games you grew up with.
Excuse me, I’ve got to go wipe this nostalgic tear from my eye.
If you have no idea what Prince of Persia is you’ve got some ‘splain’n to do.
Originally developed by Jordan Mechner, and released in October of 1989 for the Apple II, Prince of Persia is probably one of the best platforming games ever released. It was hard as hell, and you had to fight with a sword, while avoiding pits and dangerous obstacles. It was awesome.
Hopefully we see this game sooner than later.

The controls in the original game leave something to be desired. Let's hope they're tweaked in this version to suck less.

LikeThe controls were what made the game difficult. I wouldn't mind them being a little tweaked, but hopefully they aren't completely overhauled.
