Saints Row: Drive By was a spin off announced for the 3DS last E3 . THQ has now claimed it is no longer developing the game, according to Joystiq.
The game was also being developed as a PSN/XBLA game, but it’s still alarming to see a 3DS title, based on such a strong gaming brand, being abandoned.
Third party titles have typically struggled on the Nintendo’s handheld consoles, but recent rumblings from Nintendo, and Satoru Iwata himself have indicated a sea change with regards to how they approach third party development.
It appears that the Japanese giant may have an uphill battle in convincing major third party developers to develop expensive, AAA content for their consoles in the coming years.
