As a player, I don't want to see existing joystick games ported to iOS. I can already play those games in their existing form, and the virtual joystick experience, for all the thought that has been put into it, still sucks.
What I want to see on iOS are games that fit naturally into the touch interface, which can be existing games that just adapt well, or entirely new concepts.
What makes a touch interface work, I think, is directly manipulating what you see. Control schemes that rely on "body extension", like a joystick or directional pad, rarely translate well.
