    Nintendo should sell ROMs for Android and other platforms. I'd pay $0.10 per game, per day. They could be making billions from this if they just allow it. And it won't slow sales of DSi and Wii, on the contrary, more people will like Nintendo and buy their products.

    @Intelext: Yeah...pretty sure they outsell Microsoft and Sony in both the console and handheld departments...by HUGE margins. Just because it doesn't appeal to you or to your peer group doesn't mean it isn't popular. I know that my Wii is turned on every single day by my wife for Wii Fit and has been doing extra duty with the New Super Mario Bros. this past week. Before that, I was spending a significant amount of my gaming time playing Super Mario World and Link to the Past on the virtual console on there. And I can't walk through a mall without seeing 20 kids playing DSis, whereas I think I've only seen maybe 10 PSPs since they first came out.

    So, is this actually a legal issue? Nokia was not saying (were they?) that their phone would play those two games, they were merely showing that it could play these games if Nintendo was willing to license them, right? Or is Nintendo upset that they were even running on a machine they did not license their software for? Interesting questions that attorneys for both companies are pondering, I am certain.

    On the bright side, since Nokia has been sliding in the cell phone world (um, somewhat similar to a particular "N" company game console recently), perhaps Nokia is just wanting to become the rebel of the cell phone world. Perhaps the E.U. will come to their rescue.

    @Flying Jukebox: Actually, the Wii sales have been sinking, which is why Nintendo had to lower the price. It is true that the DS continues to do well, however - though one might accurately question whether the "next generation" of hand held gaming machines will be our cell phones. Perhaps the MarioPhone is in our future?

    @Monty: Every console has been sinking, the Wii is one of the best selling consoles ever. People like dedicated buttons when it comes to gaming; i still don't see gaming on cell phones taking off. The N-Gage failed, why wouldn't the next generation?

    @Monty: Wii sales have been sinking, but Nintendo still profits more from them than their competitors. So yes, it's a downwards trend, but it's nowhere as bad as Nokia's downwards trend.

    In fact Nintendo is STILL printing money despite lower sales and income. That says something about how successful they have been in the first place.

    @tokugawa: Nokia is still making serious dollars as well, so you are, unfortunately, bringing more validity to the original statement I made which was more or less a joke anyway. Both companies are the sales leaders in their respective markets, and many folks have been concerned about both companies being a generation behind their competitors. That said, both continue to make bucks despite the concern.

    @Flying Jukebox: Well, the Wii is the best selling console this generation - without question, however it is not all sunshine and rainbows. First, the PS2 has sold over 130 million units, and the Wii has sold around 30 million or so, I believe. Admittedly, the PS2 has been around much longer, but chances are the Wii will never catch up. There is also the minor issue that overall sales per device for the Wii are much smaller than the PS2, or even the Xbox 360 or PS3. Ignoring those two items, the Wii is clearly the champion. Of course, Nokia is clearly the champion of the cell phone market, as well -- and it is easy to make a comparison between the two companies.

    @Monty: But compared to Nokia, Nintendo is financially very healthy. They don't have to downsize or bribe any governments by threatening to move elsewhere (like Nokia does).

    I'm pretty sure the actual profits compared to the respective income are much more favourable for Nintendo than for Nokia.

    The emulator is based on the freeware and open-source emulator Frodo. But no credits are given, so basically Manomino is trying to make money on somebody else's efforts. Now THAT is a valid reason to shut this app down.

    Does anyone know the process for adding additional games to this emulator? Do they have to convert them for us, or could we somehow take a 1541 and plug it into an Amiga and convert it over to a usable format for it to read? It would a fantastic opportunity if we could easily convert the ridiculous number of games sitting in basements everywhere. Eight games is a nice proof of concept, but let's move it to the next level. #c64

    @Monty: Most likely it would consist of them having to legally do it for you. For starters you wouldn't be able to add a file like that to an iPhone by default. That would lead me to believe that with the current paid additions for apps in in the App Store, they could obtain the rights for a game then sell it as an in-game upgrade for a fee. #c64

    @madog: If that is the case, and if the big names of the past (Epyx, Activision, Broaderbund, Rainbow Arts) could buy into this particular publisher making "the Commodore 64 emulator", then they could make a few bucks re-selling their old [cough] masterpieces. #c64

    Well, somehow it made it through the approval process. Its one thing to copy the entire DS OS (or whatever the GUI is called) but if it's not functional as an emulator that defeats the purpose. Unless they come up with original games which I highly doubt.

    If only they hadn't copied the DS logo they could probably get away with it. Then again I've never been close enough to a real DS to truly know how much was actually ripped off.

    How did they miss section 408.e of the App Store policy? It clearly states that an App cannot "duplicate the functionality of another hand-held device."
