Prope announces Ivy the Kiwi? for Windows Mobile?

However, it's for Windows Mobile (or, as the platform is being called in Japan, Windows Phone). Not what you'd typically think of as a major gaming platform. This game is part of a move to change that -- it's a launch title for Japan's Windows Mobile Marketplace and will be out in December.

I'd rather have poison ivy and a kiwi then this odd monstrosity.

I'd probably have more interest in this if it were Ivy from Soul Calibur.

It's about bloody time.
New Zealanders have been severely underrepresented in video games.

I thought Windows Phone was the rebranding alongside WM6.5?

it is. when it went to 6.5 they changed the name from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone. pretty unnecessary if you ask me but i think they are trying to separate themselves from the hate that people spread about WinMo. it's personally my mobile OS of choice and i'm patiently awaiting my Verizon Touch Pro 2 to become a "Windows Phone" when they finally get around to releasing the 6.5 update for it.

A Christmas album!

I also misread that as "Pope" at first, so I was expecting the jokes about "Yah, I bet it's called _________"(fill in the blank was hilarious pedophile reference).
I leave disappointed.

Just for future reference Joystiq, Windows Mobile OS and phones are indeed now officially named "Windows Phones". I think its been that way since and press this summer or something.

Finally. Not since the old Taz-Mania cartoon has the animated kiwi seen much screen time.

This game looks really cute. I love the art style.
What an odd choice for platform though. I hope it gets ported to the DS.

This tugs at my heartstrings.
Really cute. Poor kiwi :(
