Sega of America wants to hear the vox populi's suggestions for iPhone and iPod Touch games. Frankly, if you don't give them ideas, you know the powers that be will just pump out more Sonic -- they just don't know any better! The community team is saying that all ideas are welcome and that they'll add them to their upcoming presentation list. Two rules: the suggestions must be first-party Sega games; and they can't involve original games (who would want such a thing?).
Sega is taking recommendations through Twitter, Facebook and on its forums. Feel free to leave some ideas below too, though we can't confirm that Sega will read them here. We're all for games from Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection receiving visual upgrades and loving ports, as unlikely as that may be.

How about Chu Chu Rockets? That game could easily be put on iphone and it has the wireless capabilities for the multiplayer.

Holy crap. More developers need to do what he did and stop emulating the source.
Or, they could just hire him. That would work too.

Sega already mentioned on twitter that they're going to mention it in their next brainstorming meeting. (a lot of people suggested it on their blog)

Bob's Game... I kid.
i would love a nice portable version of Jet Set Radio. no GBA version port (that was kinda crappy) i believe the touch controls would be cool for the graffiti mini games.

Phantasy Star Collection, the early Shining Series...basically, any RPG the iPhone can handle, and then some.
With graphical upgrades, of course, ala XBL.

Zero Tolerance with Wolfenstein controls.

I want a NEW Streets of Rage where you punch people by rapidly tapping on them.
Actually it doesn't have to be Streets of Rage, just so long as I'm beating up punks and thugs with my finger tips.

Some Panzer Dragoon remakes? Am I right, or amirite?

Don't do crappy ports like you have been doing so far. Columns is a joke.

Sonic: Touch 'n' Go
Sonic runs from game to game at breakneck speed following a spotty plot and sporadic gameplay.
Basically it's a parody of his recent career.

Um... okay. How about this: Adam Sandler is like, in love with some girl, but then it turns out that the girl is actually a ...golden retriever, or something.

I want a Skies of Arcadia game focused around a pirate ship that plays similarly to Star Control 2.
Then again, I don't own an iPhone so my opinion doesn't matter.

Actually...I sorta take S&K back because of Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection I got...but still they should add it their list because some people may not own S&K...

GET BLUE SPHERE
Seriously. As an individual side-game. Procedurally generated infinite levels of globe-scrolling blue sphere grabbing madness.

Ugh how badly I fiend to trap vampires dressed as ninja's in a lakehouse, with a bunch of 90's kids running around trying to party.

You should make it so that you can play with other players over a long distence and make a slot for PSP games so you can play those on the phone and nintendo DS games so you can play those too then the phone would be worth more than a nintendo DS (or nintendo i) , PSP and a phone but it will be be worth more beacause all the items are combined and you can use it in car rides so then you will need it to suck up battery really really slowley otherwise people wont buy it beacuse you will only be able to use it for a short period of time. You should also make games. I think u should make games like life as a dog or cat or mouse or parent or parrot or jungle animal then you can also make a website like club penguin so that people can be what ever animal they want and talk to their friends. (Oh and if it has bad animaition it will have less players.) The more people play the games on the internet if they are fun people will want the phone so they can bring the games with them like a mini laptop that you can talk on and... if the phone has internet then people that have jobs will be able to organize stuff on their phone.

Like your other iphone games like golden axe and streets of rage. But what if you made a cowboy game with the same animation as golden axe. With like four or five different characters with guns like one with a six gun or a rifle etc... fighting on trains and in old cities. Maybe a fight on horses. Then have bosses every few places. Like a boss that throws dynamite and punches. Or have a secret agents on a mission to stop a gang boss and his henchmen.
