(Sorry, screwed up the Thread Header)

 

Ever sense the DS came out I thought that Seaman DS would be GREAT, I mean you a touch screen, and MIC to interact with Seaman.. I even made a petition some years ago just to see how many people would be interested in it..

From the article below the Seaman Dev's had the idea of Seaman DS before they started work on GaBo..

Seaman Developer's iPhone Game Canned By Apple

Wondering what happened to that iPhone Seaman caveman spinoff known asGABO? Not approved, it seems by Apple. Explains its innovative developer Yoot Saito:

" When is that previously announced GABO for the iPhone going to be finished? I'm often asked that question. Honestly, that was finished a while back. The reason this wasn't made public was, well, Apple rejected the game. (lol) The reason for this was something like that the interaction with the Peking man was "unpleasant." (This isn't an official Japanese translation [of what Apple stated in English]).

The truth is that development staff, which had already considered development on Seaman DS before being contacted about this, reluctantly abandoned the [GABO] project.

If the time every comes again, this is something we'd all like to tackle again."

Apple can just shitcan iPhone games like that? Yes, yes it can. Hey, Yoot, you're lucky you even got a reason!
