Saint’s Row for 3DS was already being made for Xbox Live Arcade
The Nintendo 3DS video game list has a great deal of predictable titles on it, but seeing Saint’s Row on there was somewhat of a surprise. But it was a natural fit, as THQ VP Danny Bilson recently said. Not only was Nintendo enthusiastic about putting mature content material on its new system, but “the interesting thing about the video game is we had been previously which makes it. We were previously making it as our Xbox Live game and in 3D also. It’s designed for 3D already.”
Wait, an Xbox Live title? The Saint’s Row 3 universe is full of surprises — THQ is planning a whole fleet of games to launch together, and among those is really a downloadable XBL game that will unlock articles in the full game (and vice versa). The 3ds will share material too — “all of our extension properties,” says Bilson, “all connect and unlock things in each other.”
Looks like the game’s “new direction” is in fact split a few distinct techniques. All of these games are still due out sometime after March of next year.
