Life is hard if you’re an Indie App Developer, you may get lucky or you will just continue with the slog of trying to get your app noticed in the ever increasing App Store – don’t forget our advertising package though, that really helps. Well, with that aside it’s about to become very tough this weekend for Indie’s as Capcom, Sega, Namco Gandai, EA and Gameloft have all reduced their iPhone games drastically in smart sales ploys.
Phoenix Wright
Phoenix Wright by Capcom is currently available in the US and UK App Stores respecitvely for $0.99/ £0.59, this same game recently sold on the Nintendo DS for $40/£25.
Capcom
Capcom meanwhile has reduced their most popular games down to $0.99 a game. So if you want to get to grips with Devil May Cry 4 refrain or Dead Rising Mobile, then this weekend is a good time to buy.
