No Saints Row for 3DS?

It appears that the high profile THQ property, Saints Row: Drive By may be the first mature title to be canned for the 3DS with no reason being given for the decision

THQ have left no doubt about the games future telling Joystick "We are not developing Saints Row: Drive By."

This will be a huge blow to Nintendo, if confirmed, with THQ's core games boss Danny Bilson stating "Nintendo really wants to launch with a very balanced portfolio. They really don't want it to feel like a kiddie platform. They were very clear: they really wanted Saints Row on it,"

It's also a bit of a disappointment to fans of the series and during last summers 3DS preview, Nintendo PR spoke of their excitement regarding the handhelds more mature demographic.

This is only a rumor at the moment (albeit a pretty strong one) but as soon as we have more, we'll let you know.

  There has been nothing about the game for a long time, I think it was kind of expected.

  Interesting. Since GTA did pretty good on DS, I thought there would be something to this.

  GTA did well on the DS was a stretch. If I remember it did satisfactory- but it really wasn't numbers to write home about- which the ports to the PSP and iOS also showed. I'm hoping for a 3DS GTA- that would be pretty awesome. Also if rumors are true the next one is on Cafe, that will be kick ass.
