This is completely speculative, of course, but the following explanation makes sense: a little while ago it came out that the iPod Touch is being positioned as an Apple gaming platform (lots of developers were writing games on the platform anyway, and Apple decided to roll with it). Thus, Apple essentially entered the hand-held gaming market, which means that it is now in direct competition with Nintendo. Allowing Nintendo games gives them a competitive advantage.
- grhino 17y agoIs there a Nintendo approved way to get ROMs on the iPhone? Does Nintendo have no legal recourse to this?
- steveitis 17y agoI don't think it matters if Nintendo approves. There is a ton of 'homebrew' for the NES that contains no proprietary Nintendo code, and I doubt that any part of the 'hardware' being emulated is protected intellectual property. A case can easily be made that it is designed with home brew ROMs in mind. Despite the obvious fact that it will inevitably be used for copyright infringement.
