Apple’s line up of iOS powered devices including the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch are quickly becoming some of the most used portable gaming devices in the world. However, just because they are already quite popular doesn’t mean mobile application developers are looking to slow their efforts any time soon. The latest of such developments to catch our use is a TurboGrafx-16 emulator from Hudon.

Apparently this application will be completely free of charge with a library of games but that’s where the free-ness ends. In order to actually play any of the 16 games you’re going to have to shell out $3.99 each. This presumably means you won’t be able to download any ROMs on your computer and sync them to your iOS powered device.. bummer.

Luckily, Hudson will be picking a game at random each day and offering users a 3-minute trial which isn’t a bad idea. It would be interesting if Nintendo were to do this and offer a Gameboy emulator alongside paid for games but the likelihood of that happening seems slim to none.
