3DS+Vita+iOS rerelease of the original with all DLC songs included and new characters believe!
I sincerely doubt the iOS version did well enough to warrant a sequel either.
Hopefully no one expects this on the 3DS.

I'd hazard a guess that you can get an idea of how successful a S-E title was on iOS from whether or not it received an Android port. Especially for a F2P title that wouldn't have the "Android players don't pay for games" consideration. All of The main Final Fantasy titles are out on Android. All the Bravest even got a JP Android port. Theatrhythm didn't get anything.
Since TGS 2011 Square Enix has announced a grand total of the following for 3DS:They still haven't abandoned handhelds completely. Dragon Quest VII remake did really well and they have that Bravely Default "Final Mix" version coming with a sequel possibly following that.
No reason why this couldn't be a 3DS release. As I already said a mobile release would be quite redundant due to mobiles already having the most content rich version, not to even mention Theatrhythm's mobile release model (base trial/demo for free with a few songs, rest as DLC) doesn't really make any kind of "complete" release sound likely (if they have new songs, they could just release them as DLC). This sounds like some kind of Complete/GOTY version and that kind of release sounds way more like something an actual gaming device would get (like the Angry Birds Trilogy & Angry Birds Star Wars releases for consoles & handhelds that clump some mobile content into a single bigger retail release for those platforms) than something released for mobiles.
It's a possible one, sure, even somewhat probable, but 3DS has found its stride in Japan and after Animal Crossing & Pokemon, it'll be an even healthier platform. I just find saying "no, this is definitely not a 3DS/non-mobile game" a bit premature, even in this world of Square Enix gone mobile/browser game craycray.
Stop lying to yourself gaffers. Deep down, you know this is a mobile game.

Seriously who keeps coming up with these names?
Hate is strong in this thread.... This game will be on 3DS.
I was hyped for a second... then you pointed this out.Hopefully no one expects this on the 3DS.

How long till every franchise becomes a iOS exclusive?
Sales weren't hot in Japan.
Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Theatrhythm one of the games that was released when the 3DS wasn't selling well?
Have you not followed, like, any of the news threads about Square-Enix in the last three months?
Putting aside Dragon Quest specifically (which is largely managed as a separate brand that isn't directly affected by the company's overall strategic direction), the last new 3DS game they announced was in 2011. Just look at the lineup on this page: one internally-developed console title; one foreign console game they're publishing in Japan; one re-release of a two-year-old, externally-developed handheld title; two MMOs; three browser games; four mobile titles. This is not a company that is investing more money into the handheld marketplace.
What exactly might this be? I'm all up for Theathrythm II...
Hopefully no one expects this on the 3DS.
Its not going to be like the DS but I'm sure they'll probably have a handheld title occasionally.
...why?
Tempered/realistic expectations is hate now?
Expecting it to be on iOS is fine - which is the case for many SE titles these days. But jumping on everyone who suggest everything else is unnecessary...especially since this will be on 3DS (too).
I'm not expecting a crazy amount of titles but I can see things like a potential BD sequel happening occasionally.
What makes you think BD2 will be on 3DS?

Probably the last 3DS game S-E will work on though.
Are you really certain about that?
The subtitle fits all too well.Hopefully no one expects this on the 3DS.
Wii U version believe.
What if this just turns out to be the iOS version brought to the eShop and possibly the Vita......and if it skips 3DS, they really should put the original one on the eShop - finding a retail copy is getting more and more difficult. Whats up with that ?
Well they just confirmed that BD:FTS is intended for the Japanese audience to be able to get in on the original and enjoy the various system and design improvements (along with other stuff) before the sequel is released. I think that one is a given.
Probably the last 3DS game S-E will work on though.
What I'm wondering is that if Square-Enix lost money on 3DS... or just hasn't made enough money on 3DS (according to them).
We just have to believe that it will find a way to outsell FF and KH lol.
