Yep, they teased the 4th classic, the timing was right and they worked on the game before for iOS, everyone guessed right, and they announced it!
Excite!

Well good. Maybe it will keep me busy while I wait for Swords and Soldiers 2

No point when it'll likely be $2 at launch again like Toki Tori, Edge, and RUSH were.
And BOOM, just like I asked back in Jan!

skipped the original, very interested in this one!
Actually, April is pretty crowded since Nintendo is doing a big VC push. I know I'm picking up Advanced Wars, and Wario Ware to play. I'll look into this though.

Never played the original but it sounds and looks cool so I'll get this one.
I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up delayed until May though (because of bug checks and such).

Yeah, they said before they were announcing it on the 3rd. I knew it was odd it was announced yesterday out of the blue.
GoNintendo saved the entire post luckily:
They were the ones to post it first!

So Two Tribes have been elaborating on the Wii U version, and it seems the following:
1) It is indeed based on their iOS version, rather than the Wii or PS3 versions.
2) No online multiplayer or DLC, but the latter isn't ruled out if it does well enough (but on par with the other classics isn't enough, so it needs to be head of that sales curve do warrant it)
3) No Pro Controller at the moment, but as the PS3 version had traditional controls, maybe they'll reconsider? They asked why would you want it?
4) 720p and 60fps. Not sure if the PS3 version was 720p or 1080p.
5) Looks like multiplayer is on each screen.
6) As the updated article shows, it's planned for April/May, not just April. But it is being submitted to Nintendo next Tuesday.
So while it seems barebones, if they do indeed price it $2 like the other classics, who the hell would complain? The other versions are way more than that. Give me barebones for uber cheap over more content for a higher price IMO.
