Gameloft & Rovio bringing their games to BB10 first, where are WP8 versions?

[amitnahar]

I have recently seen that more and more of gameloft (Minion Rush and Iron man) and Rovio (Bad Piggies) games are coming to BB10 but they are nowhere to be seen on WP. So anyone has an idea when are they coming on WP8?

Gameloft? They're bringing their games over to WP, just waiting for them to pass XBL certification.

Rovio? We got Angry Birds Star Wars 2 at the same time as iOS and Android. I guess we could wait some more for Bad Piggies.

If they are skipping WP to develop for BB 10 I would never expect to see them on this platform. They certainly cannot use marketshare as an excuse. They must have some other bias.

Ahh. The Traveler knows more than I.

the only game that rovio hasn't bringed to wp yet is bad piggies, otherwise they have been really awesome, for example angry birds star wars 2 released on all platforms at the same time and angry birds Go karting is going to be released on all platforms the same day December 11.

gameloft I don't know, they have been supporting wp well but need more to release games at the same time, minion rush looks nice, would love to play it

yeah, you can blame it on the xbl certification.

Rovio is also bringing Angry Birds Go cart to BB10 on same day.


I am just waiting for Minion Rush to include it in my gaming catalog.



Not only Gameloft and Rovio but also EA. It has Real Racing 3 on BB10. Flipboard is also there on BB10. Yeah I know, its coming but still.

You pretty much have to completely code from scratch to code for Windows Phone whereas the BB10 version can be a direct port from Android.

Agreed but this still require work to do. WP has amazing tools for developers not to mention unity support.
WP has more marketshare than BB10. So there should not be any excuse for these big companies to not develop for WP.

And they both develop for Windows Phone. It just takes longer.
