iPhone Rumors: Nintendo Games coming to the iPhone?

It's rumored that Apple and Nintendo are going to join forces and release Nintendo games for the new iPhone. According to the rumor, they will be available for download from the iTunes store and will carry a cost of $29.99 each.

If the lack of buttons was a development problem solved by adding an on screen D-PAD then as much as I'm intrigued by this I can't help but think that it will detract from game play. Imagine the large D-PAD and corresponding buttons taking up any amount of screen space on the already small screen. Leave it to Apple and Nintendo though and I'm sure they'll make it work in a way we haven't thought of... my best guess is translucent overlayed buttons but I write blogs, I do not design high tech gizmos.

I personally don't know if I'd pay that much just to re-live me some Super Mario Brothers action on my iPhone. I thought $5.00 was too much when I was downloading games from Sprint to my old Razr. On the other hand, when I ca't connect to the internet I certainly miss having games to play.
