Remember that NES emulator for the iPhone that came out a while back? I personally haven't installed it on my phone (I'm still sorting through all of the free games on the App Store), but I do admit that the thought of playing old-school games on my iPhone would be a ton of fun. Now the team that originally brought us the emulator have taken it one step further. Now you can control Mario with your iPhone's accelerometer.

Sure, most NES games are going to require more precise controls than your accelerometer will allow you, however, it's cool that we have the option now. My only question is when Nintendo is going to realize just how much money they could make by bringing these games to the iPhone (legally). Of course with the DS out there, they could probably care less about the iPhone.
