Nintendo may be playing hard ball with regards to releasing and re-releasing titles on mobile devices outside its own DS portable console, but other celebrated gaming outfits have adapted their games rather nicely to the touch-screen.

Tim Cook and Apple's executive team are always keen to wax lyrical about how many apps have passed through the App Store over the last five years.
