Wish they would release more than 1 or 2 seasons a year. You can't see these episodes too many times. Love the charactor packaging. We try to guess who will be featured on each year's release.

Too many copyright issues... Konami no longer holds the rights, Fox can't publish a Konami game, etc. I don't think we'll ever "officially" see the Konami/Simpsons arcade game.

I think many people wishing for the original arcade game have retro coloured glasses on, it's just not that pretty or as fun as we probably want to remember. Multiplayer was cool though. Oddly enough, this looks like some good mindless fun with reasonable production values. Some kind of multiplayer would actually make this a great buy...but I wouldn't bet on it.

Right now it seems pretty incomplete but I've never even heard of the original J2ME game so I can't really compare the two. How far along in development is the game?

Simpson arcade game wasn't awesome because of the actual gameplay, it was awesome because of multiplayer =) So this wouldn't really work well on iphone. Rather have it on Steam or XBLA looks pretty boring... Simpson arcade game wasn't awesome because of the actual gameplay, it was awesome because of multiplayer =)
