Oyaji Games is set to release Mecho Warriors for the WiiWare or DSIWare but it seems that the game has already been unveiled in the market via iTunes. While nothing is definite yet as far as what gamers can expect for this new game, any iPhone or iPod Touch owner may be able to share the game and rate it accordingly.

Just what is this new game about? Well it like any normal RPG we see today. It is a war between the worlds of the Winged Crusade and the Landians. Just like other games like Command and Conquer, it entails building your army and taking over cities and structures.

It comes with the usual single player campaign, a story about the rise of the Winged Crusade. The story takes place in a distant land known as the Divination Deserts. This is not your typical desert since there is plenty of water separating land masses. Mecho Wars features a unique day-night cycle where water will freeze overnight. Once inaccessible areas by land troops can be reached in the early hours of the morning.

The gist of the game proper seems enticing and for iPhone owners, it may be worth the time and download. Besides, many gamers love to be the first to get new games, especially this one which is not yet out of the market.

New games and new developments are what seems to be on the horizon for the iPhone. The iPhone OS 3.0 news from Apple unlocks many more opportunities for innovative game development for the iPhone.

Social Gaming Network has been planning for this moment for years and made huge strides with existing releases to achieve exactly what consumers have craved - and now Apple is responding. SGN has already pushed the boundaries with games for iPhone creating seamless game experiences across platforms.

SGN games that monetize through virtual goods with unique pricing structures evocative of the in-app purchasing capability just announced in the iPhone OS 3.0 Software Developer Kit are already available for iPhone including Mafia: Respect & Retaliation, Agency Wars and a proven model (fluff)friends on Facebook.

Synergies between SGN’s suite of games that have already delivered on Apple’s vision with iPhone OS 3.0 include:

• A vision of creating immersive games with robust user pay models. From the beginning, SGN recognized that the only viable model would have to generate revenue from both advertising and user pay for in-game items or advantages.
• SGN is positioned to excel at an even faster pace with over 10 million users of games such as iBowl, iBasketball, iBaseball, SGN Golf, Mafia: Respect & Retaliation, Agency Wars, iFun, and i(fluff) on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
• With iFun, released in November, using the accelerometer technology in the iPhone, SGN could link the handset to a computer via wireless or 3G connection, making the iPhone into a Wii-like controller for the game.
• SGN has leveraged the convergence paradigm giving users the ability to play games either on mobile devices or on a PC (through social networks).
