iPhone games to cost 17-18 Euros in Europe

iPhone games to cost 17-18 Euros in Europe

You can take it as read that iPhone games will cost more than Java mobile games when they go on sale on Apple's iTunes Store this month. But how much more?

LemonQuest CEO Ignacio Cavero has an inkling. "Their games will be sold in iTunes for €17-18," he says, in an interview for our new sister site PocketGamer.biz.

That's three and a half times the standard price for Java games, and goes further than, say, Nokia has with its N-Gage game pricing. However, Apple is allowing publishers to set their own prices for iPhone games, which means we could see cheaper titles, too.

LemonQuest will be amongst those on iTunes, anyway, and will be showing off its first iPhone game next week at Apple's WWDC show

"I can't say much about it, but it's very exciting," says Cavero. "We've got a big UK licence, and we're using all the capabilities of the iPhone."

Meanwhile, LemonQuest is equally enthusiastic about the impact ARM's new multi-core mobile processor will have on games, and is planning to launch a massively multiplayer mobile game by Christmas.
