Super Mario is coming to our phones - when can we get Bomberman in on it too?

Nintendo recently announced that the much-loved Mario is coming to the App Store on 15 Dec, and will soon be available on Android devices. Called "Super Mario Run", the app is a side-scrolling endless runner style game with two simple goals: collect as many coins as you can and reach the flag pole at the end of the level before the time runs out.
This got us thinking: Besides Super Mario, what other retro and nostalgic games deserve a little mobile love? Here are five that we think should get their own official mobile app.

4. The Legend of Zelda
Before the iconic “Ocarina of Time” and all the modern installations, there was the humble old “Legend of Zelda” and “Link’s Awakening”, where you had to control a little pixellated fellow through monster-infested forests, caves and towns to rescue Princess Zelda. It was like a combination of Pokemon and Super Mario.
There’s a Zelda simulator and the very similar “Legend of Skyfish” available in the App Store, but what we really want is the original Zelda creators coming up with a smashing mobile game.
