Did the primary guy behind this game not suffer from exhaustion after releasing the game on the initial batch of platforms? Yet we keep getting more ports and now even updates? I also seem to recall reading that some of those ports weren't even profitable. That's dedication for you.

I still haven't picked up this game, primarily because the '80's spoof stuff doesn't really appeal to my sense of humour, but I might pick it up if there's ever an eshop sale.

I remember reading that the creator of the game said that Microsoft was incredibly difficult to deal with and that the 360 version was not profitable at all.

I believe he has said that the 3DS version has already been more profitable for him then the 360 version and despite its pretty limited launch in comparison and is extremely close to overtaking its lifetime sales.
