New Tony Hawk game not coming to iPhone, sad face photo

The latest game in the oft-exploited Tony Hawk skateboarding franchise will not be hitting the iPhone. The information stems from the man himself, Tony Hawk, in an interview with CNet. He put mobile wishes to bed with his reply of "Not iPhone" when asked directly if the new game would be coming to Apple's lovely device.

The follow-up question to Hawk’s (senseless) denial of an iPhone release pertained to the possibility of the game hitting either the PlayStation 3 or Wii. His reply was nothing but business:

The next game we’re doing is for consoles, which will be next year. I get in trouble when I say too much about it, but you’re on the right track.

Of course, Mr. Hawk may just be thinking the immediate future, not necessarily the long-term strategy for the new dizzle. It is widely speculated that the game will feature a skateboard peripheral, which is something that the iPhone certainly can’t hook up to. But as we’re more than aware, some titles end up on handhelds months or even years after the fact. Apple enthusiasts will just have to wait to see and hope that their accelerometers can do the job that a balance board can.

Best non-news I've read all day. The iPhone is not a legitimate gaming platform and I wish people would quit treating it like it is.

Here's hoping that the next game is actually GOOD.
