Mirrror’s Edge heads to iPhone? Why not DS?
If you’re going to do Touch Controls, you should do it right!

Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.

1. yeah i agree this would be much better suited for the ds. oh well the iphone will replace nintendo hand helds anyways 😉

   sarcasm intended…

2. …because it would look like crap on the DS. Cell shading please. I would rather this one be on the PSP or at least see a "quality" Wii version.

3. This sounds like a bad idea for a touch interface regardless of the system.

4. I'm not an iPhone fan, but I can see it work with all touch screen controls. The iPhone actually isn't as bad of a pick once you start to think about the potential of the controls. It's just too bad it's on the iPhone, the potential will never be used.

5. Because the DS can't do it. Mirror's Edge has wide open environments, very fast paced gameplay that couldn't be done on the DS. I'm personally of the opinion it can't be done on iPhone either but hey. Like Brian sayid, a portable Mirror's Edge would be best suited to PSP.

   Neither the DS with it's inability to draw wide open spaces and support fast gameplay, and the iPhone with it's terrible control scheme, neither would do this game justice.

6. Based on what I've seen, it looks like a 3D-ified version of Canabalt.

7. I don't think the DS has a terrible Draw distance at all. Look at games like Mario Kart, and Metroid Prime Hunters.

   If they reduce the graphics quality it could totally work.

8. I'd much prefer A Wii version and have been hoping for one since the game was first announced. Sigh.

9. Its only on the iphone b/c thats where they think the market is for it. It won't sell. Just like it didn't on the HD twins. Such a shame as it was one of my fav's this gen.

10. mirror's edge belongs on the wii.

11. There are two reasons: One, the graphics probably exceed the limitations of the DS, Two, the gameplay is too simplistic to be appealing to people that actually buy DS games. It's looks like a very basic 2d platformer from what they've shown us of it.

    They'd have to make it DSiWare, and I suspect the limitations involved in doing that were too prohibitive.

12. The iPhone version is actually 2D, similar to the Flash version that came out not too long after the launch of the 360 version…

    I'd love to play this game in 2D, though, no matter the platform, but I agree it would be MUCH better on the DS or PSP, graphics be damned!

    Can't wait for "Mirror's Edge 2", also!!

13. I loved Mirror's Edge… But I hate the iPhone. The controls are just terrible for most games. It's too bad now Mirror's Edge has to be bastardized as well.
