Kororinpa rolls onto Japanese phones

Hudson's Kororinpa, a game so short that it has to stand on a stool to get served at bars, has been ported from the Wii to Japan's i-Mode phones. The mobile version doesn't have any arm-waving shenanigans, of course, but it does appear to faithfully replicate most other aspects of the game. Kororinpa Mobile even does a decent job of copying the Wii original's 480i visuals. The i-Mode version was released in Japan yesterday, where it can be downloaded to 3G phones for just ¥315 (US$2.67).

So can someone tell me why they want to charge me full price for this game? and yikes to the fact that a cell phone game can do a good job of looking like a wii game.

Judging by that screenshot it looks like the GBA's 3D capabilities. Nice shit-stirring by saying it looks like the Wii's 480i visuals, Jonti.

"It does appear to faithfully replicate most other aspects of the game."
What other aspects of the game? The game is entirely based on tilting the remote at all kinds of wacky angles. Without that, there's nothing left. And that 480i cell phone zing was pretty bad too.
This is a good Wii game. Only complaint I can find online is that it's too short. There are worse complaints for other games.

@Dan, it was a bad joke. The Wii version's graphics don't look Impressionist. And the Wii version isn't full priced. It's $40 and worth it. I recommend renting it, if you even have a Wii.
