Capcom respond to MaXplosion

The 'net was in a small flurry this week when 'Splosion Man creator Twisted Pixel picked up on iPhone platform game entitled MaXplosion that looked and played more than a little bit similarly to its own digital title.

Capcom has finally responded to Eurogamer, the company has stated that while there was no intended foul play, it was "saddened" by the situation.

A statement from Capcom Mobile read: "While Twisted Pixel did have discussions with our console game team about publishing 'Splosion Man' on game consoles, Capcom Mobile is a different division of Capcom with separate offices and as such, had no prior knowledge of any meetings between the console game team and Twisted Pixel."

"'MaXplosion' was developed independently by Capcom Mobile. Nonetheless, we are saddened by this situation and hope to rebuild the trust of our fans and friends in the gaming community."

As of time of writing MaXplosion is still available on Apple's App Store.
