Dan Frommer suggests that it’s time for Nintendo to make a game for the iPhone. He makes the case for the iPhone OS by pointing to its increasing game sales numbers, and says he’d like to see the Super Mario Bros. series make it to the device – the original 8-bit games developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System. What Frommer doesn’t delve into is Nintendo’s insistence on keeping its crown jewels – properties like Mario, Zelda and the like – exclusively on its own systems: the “Mario and Sonic” Olympic games titles, for example, exist solely for DS and Wii – Mario was excised from Sega’s Sonic at the Winter Olympics title for iPhone.
