Here’s a long press release. This time it’s Nickelodeon leveraging its vast library of online games to create games for the iPhone and iPod Touch. From a business point of view, that’s pretty smart actually, considering that consumers will have to pay for what was previously free-to-play on a PC/Laptop’s Internet browser.

The price of admission to get your casual gaming fix on the go is pretty cheap though, at .99 cents a game. Casual games FTW people.
