Speaking with SEGA of America president Simon Jeffery earlier today he noted that the iPhone is about as powerful as the publisher's console the Dreamcast. Jeffery said the company is delighted with how their iPhone version of Super Monkey Ball has been received by the phones many owners and detailed how the developer plans to take advantage of what he calls an upcoming and potentially major new platform for gaming.

I think I just died a little bit inside.

I don't doubt them there are a lot of nice looking games and better yet good games in general

Sega Monkey Ball is fun and all but Labyrinth is a of the same type and controls better or for a twist de Blob is out on the iPhone and that's a fun one.

yea, i am impressed by the power but to be at the point where im comfortable with the controls and using that tiny screen is probly a long way away.... i know its not much different than the psp but the "touch" controls aren't as simple as that, at least not for me on my iphone.... theres nothing better than the grip of a console controller when gaming!!!!

Well I wouldn't rule out a DS version even with the iPhone game. I was happily suprised when I saw it up though

iPhone control style is actually pretty good. It's has motion controls for most of the games and if there are touch controls they have a spot layed out for it. It's rather responsive and that screen is not really small

Heh. Sounds good I'll get it on my ipod touch. At least I'll be able to get Chrono, and Rhythm Heaven for my DS then.

yeah, the whole motion sensing is a great plus, i hope they do utilize it, good call....

as far as the controls go, i bet when there is more professional dev'ing going on i'll get a better feel for it, just personally im not 100% as comfortable with it yet, but maybe its because i dont game on it enough and i game on console too much

I was so upset to hear Square Enix won't be making an iPhone game and that Song Summoner for the iPod was a one time thing

I wanted FFIV - The After

pharmd you need to stop over at a Cingular Store and see if the iPhone they have displayed has some games on it. You don't need to wait the devs are already there

well, i am curious... the games i have played on mine arent all that and i know there are much better out there, especially with the emulators! ive been dying to jailbreak it but never felt like going through all the work... maybe if I put the effort on my part i'll actually find the ones that are worthwhile, i guess its not their fault im too lazy

Ah my bad didn't know you had one. Before 2.0 came out I had mine unlocked and was using 3rd party apps but the stuff that comes with this upgrade and app store are a lot better. I only miss having my wallpaper in the background and being able to change the look of the icons

What do you expect he wants to butter up his new masters, by saying that they hope that all the misguided sega fans (whats left of em) will buy a Iphone in the hopes of getting some ports.
