Namco Bandai regard the new format as a 'gold rush', according to Kromrey, with a new title being announced almost every week by the publisher.
"My charge is to make games that are the best for the iPod Touch and iPhone. There is a gold rush to do Apps for the App store, and Namco is at the forefront of that movement," he enthused.
"In the past Namco's been known for its depth of arcade experience, games like Pac-Man, Galaga, SoulCalibur and Tekken. I'm excited to be here and see a lot of those franchises come out on the iPhone. I'm here to champion new things, new IP, to discover what the new Pac-Man is for the iPhone."
Kromrey would particularly like to take on Tekken and Soul Calibur, but does have initial concerns over the controls. More soon.
