New Rolando trailer says release in December
Last we heard from Rolando, perhaps the iPhone game we're most excited to play, ng:moco had announced that they were still aiming for a release date of "Holiday 2008." And now it's looking like that holiday is Christmas rather than Thanksgiving, because over on their site, they've put up a new video for the game, and they're now saying there will be a "December" release (strangely enough, Touch Arcade's URL for the story says "December 12th" at the time I write this, but that could have been just an error on their side).
Oh well. At least we've got the new trailer, which shows off some more of the way gameplay works, including the 2D physics, the great colors and art, and the use of the touchscreen to not only control characters, but sometimes rearrange and manipulate the game world.
Rolando continues to look impressive (rumor has it that it'll come with a $9.99 price tag, but hopefully we'll get a demo to try out first). We've waited months for the game already, so a few weeks probably won't be so bad, right?

Anyone know if that's the real game music or just for the trailer? The last trailer had a funk vibe to it as well, so I'm hoping that's the musical theme.

The music is Kalimba by Mr Scruff from his new album "Ninja Tuna" Link - http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=289484820&id=289484648&s=143444
I doubt that will be included in the full game. Good stuff though, Music Takes Me Up is well worth a listen!

And the music in the previous trailer was Sweetsmoke, also by Mr Scruff.

Sorry, not Sweetsmoke, but Spandex Man from Keep It Unreal. I guess the Rolando team are big Mr Scruff fans!
