Electronic Arts hopes to follow SEGA’s success with its recent release of Spore Origins on the App Store, which will be followed by a mobile version of Need for Speed Undercover. Gameloft’s Real Soccer 2009 was also announced and released last week, the iPhone/iPod Touch game is a fully licensed 3D soccer game featuring almost 200 teams and real life players.

Announced a while back was LucasArt’s Star Wars: The Force Unleashed version for iPhone, and id Software’s mobile devision has also shown interest in the platform with plans to port Wolfenstein RPG and DOOM 2 RPG to the iPhone and their lead programmer John Carmack calling the handheld as powerful as a Dreamcast console.
