Max Payne Mobile, the release of the 2001 classic Max Payne for mobile devices received an official launch date. The game is coming to iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPod Touch 4, iPad 1, iPad 2 and the new iPad on April 12th, 2012, and to select (not yet named) Android devices on April 26th.
The game will contain "HD graphics, high-resolution textures, Social Club connectivity and user-customizable controls."
This is not the first time Max Payne becomes handheld, however. A special version of the game was created by Mobius Entertainment for the Game Boy Advance console in 2003. The game was an isometric, much simplified version of the original Remedy title, having 12 converted original chapters of 25, but retaining James McCaffrey's narration and graphic novel presentation. Here is a trailer of the Game Boy Max Payne for fun, just to see how much the mobile technology has changed in 9 years:
