    From Slide to Play:

    The 3DS version was arguably the best launch title on the platform, but that's not saying much. Personally I found it to be a decent game with truly wretched AI. But it's a good fit for the platform. It doesn't hurt that it comes with a ton of content.

    Ubisoft announced several over iOS titles, but this is the only one that caught my attention.

    Wow, this is awesome news. Definitely will be looking forward to it. Passed on the 3DS version, but it should be a great deal on the iOS. Lol, I'm pretty sure SSFIV is universally agreed on to have been the best launch title though without contest. But yes, the other games look pretty dull.

    Kotaku liked Ghost Recon better. As someone who has only a passing interest in fighting games, I agree. Keep in mind that SF4 was also, technically, a port; Ghost Recon is a 3DS original.

    I'm kind of mad. I purchased this for the 3DS.

    So is this kinda like a Final Fantasy Tactics-style gameplay? Maybe Tactical Soldier?

    Sort of. It's really closer to Xcom and Jagged Alliance on the PC (or Hunters and Tactical Soldier: Undead Rising on iOS). The focus is less on role-playing and more on tactical action.

    Hopefully this version will have real multiplayer, and not just pass & play.

    Looks really good. I'm usually not that crazy about turn based games, but this I'll definitely be buying.

    That's what Ubisoft said in the Slide To Play article. For what it's worth, their previous DS port (Assassin's Creed 2) was of the whole game with improved graphics.

    Nearly bought a 3DS just to play this!

    Interesting point is that this game is designed by Julian gallop - creator of rebelstar, laser squad and xcom. It doesn't get any better than this ( well until he releases a new version of laser squad anyway),

    I read rumors about this could get ported a few months ago, so I'm glad I waited, instead of going out and buying a 3ds for this game :)

    Very excited for this! I bought this with my 3DS, but sold it b4 finishing for financial reasons. I was planning to re-buy anyway, so this seems like the best option.
