Curve Studios 'focusing only on' PS3 version of Explodemon
15
Yesterday, Curve Studios announced a Q4 2010 launch window for the PSN version of its retro-inspired blow-em-up platformer, Explodemon, though the WiiWare, PSP and PC versions were not mentioned. We contacted the developer about these omissions, and PR Manager Ed Fear confirmed our suspicions, explaining, "For the moment, we're focusing only on the PS3 version."
Fear added, "We're a small(ish) company, so it doesn't make sense for us to split our limited resources between several different versions, especially given that there'd be quite major graphical differences for the Wii/PSP editions. So, in order to really make Explodemon shine, we're putting all of our efforts into the PS3 version." Fear did note that the studio still wants to see the game on as many platforms as possible, though Curve will have to "seriously evaluate other targets once we've shipped the PS3 version."

Wait a sec - so you said there may be a Playstation minis version.
Well, minis are playable on a Playstation 3 AND PSP with the same file. So is that going to be a different version from the PSN (PS3) release?
I think you meant "PSP Market" release instead of minis.

@Magnalon That's right. The PSP version apparently wasn't planned as a Mini, and is instead a whole different game altogether. Thanks for the catch.

I know it's probably supposed to be pronounced "explo - demon", but my mind reads it as Explodémon. As in, "Let me show you my explodémans".
