Following the announcement of The Witcher 2 comes word of an iPhone entry into the series, called The Witcher: Versus.
You can get most of the gameplay details from the trailer above, but word also comes that it'll have ties to the browser-based version of the game, so you'll never have to be without your fix. It also looks like it'll be used as somewhat of a promo tool for the upcoming sequel -- the game will have unlockable concept artwork for The Witcher 2.
Unlike some other iPhone game tie-ins (I'm looking at you Mass Effect: Galaxy), The Witcher: Versus at least looks to be a full, standalone product. No release date yet, so we'll just have to wait to see if the promise of a rich portable Witcher experience pays off.
The Witcher: Versus involves setting up your skills in a specific order, then going up against the order other players have set. Just going to put it out there that there will be no diddlage.
I got really tired of the browser game, really fast, but cool that it's going to iPhone. Like most rock-paper-scissors style mindgames, you're either pro or not pro.

Hopefully players get to diddle some she-bitches with the touch controls.
It harkens back to those broken brawlers from the mid-90s. Just the thought of those brings a shiver to my spine.
