iPhone App Store Brings Mr. Game & Watch

iPhone App Store Brings Mr. Game & Watch

When Apple said that the iPod touch was the funnest iPod ever, we
assumed that they would come up with some of their own games (and rely
on the developer community) to outwit and outdo the competitors at Sony
and Nintendo.

What we didn’t expect was that it’d be fun by ripping off some retro-themed classics.

We have a burning suspicion that this violates all sorts of
trademarks and user agreements, but if you go over to the App Store,
you’ll find Mr. Game & Watch available for the iPhone and iPod
touch. Yes, remember those single portable games from Nintendo even
before Mario became famous?

The “developers” at Mobile 1Up have ported over four classic Game
and Watch titles over to the iPhone, uploading them to the App Store
for $1.99 each. The four games are GW Parachute, GW Chef, GW Fire, and
GW Octopus, the last of which can be seen here.

If you want to get in on some Game & Watch action on your
iPhone, I suggest you do it soon, because Nintendo will probably act
quite quickly to protect its intellectual rights. Then again, you could
always take the jailbroken route and get an NES emulator for your retro
fix, but that falls into a legal gray area too.
