iPhone unlocked

Comic-Con starts in San Diego today, and I’m down here wandering the aisles, looking for geeky gear and cool games. Scott Pilgrim is already one of the stars of the show, with the excellent comic series having finished up, a new console game coming out soon, and of course the Michael Cera-enhanced movie in theaters in a few weeks. To celebrate, NBC Universal has released this free retro Punch-out game starring the characters from the movie. It’s not quite as good as the upcoming console game, but it’s an amusing little retro distraction that fans of the movie will get a kick out of.

The app’s also connected up for Comic-Con — it’s got news and updates straight from the convention floor, and there is a trailer and gallery from the movie to unlock. Yes, it’s adware — if you have no interest in the movie, there’s not really a reason to download the app. But if you’re already interested in Scott Pilgrim and want a little more fun from the franchise on your iPhone during Comic-Con, definitely check this one out.
