@Jonathan - a house of the dead shooter would be awesome too!

Any arcade type on-rails shooter would be awesome - House of the Dead, Rez, Ghost Squad- they'd all be perfect for the iPhone

Got to agree with Arn and Bob - Rez and Chu Chu Rocket would be awesome iPhone games

Wow, surely Sonic is coming to the iPhone, then?

Seeing Sega put its enthusiasm and effort into iPhone development is really awesome. This is becoming the gamer's phone, isn't it?

Id love a way to play Jet grind Radio on the go. The graffiti minigame would work great on a touchscreen, not sure about the rest of the game though.

@TheMan: The iPhone does have dedicated graphics/3d hardware. In fact, it appears to be a more advanced version of what was found in the Dreamcast:

See http://toucharcade.com/2008/07/07/under-the-hood-the-iphones-gaming-mettle/

"This fourth-generation PowerVR chipset is basically an evolution of the second-generation graphics hardware used in the Sega Dreamcast (an amazing console, to those unaware) and which, like its console predecessor, utilizes a unique tile-based rendering system."

Does the iphone have a graphics card? Does that do the 3d transformations/shading? I don't think so... you simply cannot compare the dreamcast with the iphone

@TheBird: As would I. I have more Dreamcast games than PS2, GameCube, and Wii titles combined.

I would give anything to see Trickstyle ported! I miss that game so much. Though I think it was built on the Windows CE environment of the dreamcast, so might be a tough port to get it going on OpenGL

It seems extremely likely that a Sonic title is in the works right now.

I would believe with Sonic you could use the accelerometer to move left and right by tilting it (just like the game Chopper Operates) and either tap, or shake/shift up to jump

i would think the controls would be better than the ipod 5th gen controls/click wheel
