The name Jordan Mechner should be pretty familiar with gamers. A few years back, he teamed up with Ubisoft to create a thrilling new version of his PC classic Prince of Persia with The Sands of Time, which he also worked with Disney on turning into a big-screen movie.

John Bedford (Modojo): What's going cheap on the App Store today?

A few months ago, a Wii U listing of the Karateka remake popped up on the ESRB. The game’s launch came and passed… yet there was no news about it heading to the eShop.

Gee, what a surprise.
