Must suck to be Iron Galaxy because I'm certain the press will pan this port.
Maybe, but they must have known from the get-go that they were up against a wall with this port. I'm not sure what kind of contract they signed (this release was announced ages ago, and it's a bundle release, so chances are they didn't skate with payment based on it being a quickie port,) but maybe their milestones and payment determiners are reasonable and they can just take comfort with their doing their best and the money being what it is. I don't think this will be a decider in whether they get further contracts or if they will see/not see royalties on the release, but then again you never know how crappy a contract can get.
On the Editorial side, the vibe seems to be that reviewers are in a mood of underestimating the power of Vita and are surprised it can pull this game off, so maybe they'll get by with some nice scores. Content value is also high in this release. But you're right, it could swing the other way just as easily.
