Could it be? Mario warping to the iPhone?

This may be wishful thinking or rumor but nonetheless Noheat reports that Nintendo has begun licensing some of their game content for Apple’s forthcoming iPhone.

“These exclusive games will be released on the iTunes Store at a $29.00 price point a few months after the iPhone launches. No word on whether Nintendo will be distributing iPod versions of these games.”

If true, this could be good news for potential iPhone owners but it’s a very questionable move for Nintendo. Considering Nintendo’s possible lack of control over the gameplay style and mechanics of their iPhone-ported games, not to mention the possible dent this may cause in their own mobile-gaming marketshare my fake-news-link-bait detector seems to be beeping erratically. I guess we’ll just have to wait for official confirmation.

Big question though…would you pay $29.00 for a game on a phone that you’ve already paid upwards of $600 for and will be paying about $100/mth for for the next two years? Godspeed you Richie Riches and early adopters…godspeed.

Take a bigger bite of this apple…[link: NoHeat article]
