SteamPirates - Toned Down Humorous RPG. Quite Good
Mecho Wars - Advance Wars Clone. Eh Graphics, but the gameplay's the same.
Saving Private Sheep - It's like Angry Birds... but less sling shots and more platform breaking. Worth it just for the opening movie.
Fastar! - Silly Action game that makes fun of RPGs. Very short. Very good.
Antrim Esc - First two games are out. Short indie adventure game. Highly Recommended. Not unlike Trace Memory/Another Code which in extension makes them not unlike Hotel Dusk. I can't wait for chapter 3.
Watson the beginning - The most Ace Attorney like game on the app store. Check it out, it's great. Hope they make a sequel.
Scarlett - Only the first episode is out. Very nice adventure game.
The Incident - Platformer by some of my favorite Mac devs. Avoid falling Lego blocks, Fridges, and Flux Capacitors as you climb a pile of junk. Cool SNES era styled graphics. Links with iPad.
Trundle - Stress free action puzzler
Radiant - Galaga inspired space shooter
Highborn - HIGHLY Recommended Tactical RPG. Very funny. 3 Chapters are up. There's a free version also somewhere.
Hills and Rivers Remain - Square Enix RTS game. Not bad.
Hook Champ, Super Quick Hook, Hook World - Grappling Platformer series. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend them all. These guys have become my favorite iOS developers. Another game Mage Gauntlet should be out soon. Seems like Chono Trigger, but action based?

Well... my latest desperate attempt to track down a game similar to 999 made me stumble upon a forum, where someone mentioned a game for the Ipod Touch/Iphone called Cause of death.. the first chapter can be downloaded for free and I am currently playing it myself, and it's not that bad actually (not like 999 at all, but still)

I agree. I liked the story, but it's way too short and expensive for it's own good. I mean, one hour of gameplay for 3 dollars? No, thank you.
@MercuryKitten
I know about Touch Detective. However, I am hesitant to buy it because of in-app purchases - what if I accidentally delete the app? Would the purchases stay if I re-install the game?

Ah, thanks very much! I will defenitely be buying the game (as soon as I fill up with store credits), and I can try it out for free.
Are there any other good games? Here is an updates list of the games I'm getting so far:

With Mist and Riven... They're ports, in the very performance of sense, also HUGE download files. I haven't tried the games myself, but after reading the reviews, I'd recommend playing them on a platform where the devs put some money into making sure it performed well.
Chaos Rings... Buy one version or the other, don't buy both at once. I hear the sequel is not unlike an expansion plot to the first game, as opposed to an actual sequel. If I were you, I'd try Omega first, might be better?
More suggestions:
Broken Sword 1+ 2: Old Adventure games, Remastered on multiple systems. The iOS port is quality. Highly recommend playing on the iPad. There are a ton of versions depending on language, sequel or prequel, free, and iPad vs iPhone. I don't regret owning these games. They're good.
Song Summoner: Square Enix Tactical RPG. Listening to music on your iPod levels up your minor party members. It's a cool method I wish I saw more of. It's a bit corny with the Music 'theme' but it's a solid Tactical RPG. Trivia: One of the oldest iOS games, as it predates iOS, and was an iPod game.
The War of Eustrath: A Tactical RPG I HIGHLY recommend. I didn't include this on my original list since it was something I played on the iPad instead of my iPod I keep handy. This game was originally a GBA game, I think it saw limited success in Japan, then got totally redone for iOS. This is a Grade A port. The cast is funny, the illustrations are snazzy, the combat system is cool, and the game is non-linear to boot. Plenty of replay value. If you're going to get a Tactical RPG make it this or Highborn. (Or BOTH!) There's an iPad version and an iPhone version. iPad was linked. Also it appears to be on sale.

And yes, I am referring to Cause of Death, which turned out not to be enjoyable anyway..
Touch Detective on the other hand does look tempting.. and there's a free lite version out there if someone haven't already mentioned that (I think the main character got ADD though :P)
Wooster, the Hook games are surprisingly good! Normally I don't like iOS platformers all that much, but I tried the free version of one of the games and I am already hooked! (ugh.. seriously, no pun intended).

I'm definitely going to be checking some of these games out. I got my iPod about 5 months ago, and I've not got many apps at all, which is annoying because the apps are a redeeming feature. I have about 5 games, and I hardly go on any! So yeah, will be using this thread.

You don't know how happy that makes me to hear someone else likes the Hook series. The grappling hook system is perfect for touch screen gaming. Unlike other platformers that mimic the Nintendo platformers. They just don't work without a controller.
As for Touch Detective... it IS a DS game... might want to consider that version instead/inaddition to? There's also a sequel that's DS only.

I haven't tried Touch Detective yet, I downloaded the demo. I started very briefly playing Watson, and was startled by the fact Watson was a woman! But it seems promising so far.
And for another game that is neither RPG nor Mystery game but is hilarious for all gamers anyway, look into Game Dev Story. It's like a little simulation game where you control your own Game Company, and while I usually don't care for sim games like that, this one's hilarious and fun. (You can unlock an option to make a Lawyer game. I laughed.)

Just tried The Secret of Chateau de Moreau and got as far as my First Game over. The art style is an odd mix of Professor Layton, Hotel Dusk. With artistic inspirations from generic Anime, and classical France. I already like the cast. The story telling is not unlike 999, but without the horror, in terms of the POV. All I've got to say is thank for the recommendation folks. I've got something now to preocupy me in this 3DS drought.

I'm enjoying Chateau so much, how about a little ear candy for you folks...
Enjoy the Soundtrack
Beat the first Game over section, although 'survived' is more like it. Apparently 'court' in Chateau is the dinner table, candle sticks mark your HP, not unlike the !'s in PW1. But, in a twist, you have to think on your feet during these times. I think the dinner table plays like Logic Chess does, being that there's a time limit, and you have to answer and say the right things. Thus far, answers can be labeled as "Bad" "Stalling" and "Good"; Bad answers penalize you, and move the game onward. You can get a game over easily that way. Stalling answers... it's like presenting bad evidence in PW. Judge asks you to answer again. You're penalized, just like in PW. Good answers move you forward, and don't put out your candles.
Also, because the game has '40' alternative endings, your actions are not unlike 999. Although, instead of going through different numbered doors, you're only allowed to talk to some people about X number of topics. I presume what you tell/ask, or don't tell/ask people, effects the outcome of the game.

Hard to say this early in the game. You meet a ton of people in a short amount of time. So you don't get any real time to gauge the characters. I will say that thus far they all have quite distinct personalities, ranging from Motherly, Bubbly, Haute, Scoundrel, etc etc... Without animations like in Hotel Dusk or Ace Attorney, it's harder to gauge the characters off the bat. But characterization is still much better then Time Hollow, and I enjoyed that game.
I will say however, that the first Dinner table scene gave me a bit of a thrill.
Spoiler: Early game spoilers. I think it's safe to read, but...

Edit: And to Jack Lamber - here's my non-spoilery 2 cents. Personally, I don't think it's as good as AA, 999, or Hotel Dusk on its own. But the fact that it could even be good enough to be on the same level of comparison says a lot about it for the fact it's a five dollar iPhone game. There are a few bugs and a few things that I thought could have done better, particularly with the plot and some of the gameplay in the final chapters, but the amount of care and detail put into it does volumes in its favor. Basically, don't expect something better than any of your all-star adventure game favorites for the DS or other more refined consoles, but expect something worth your time.

Was on the family iPad, and discovered that via the last sync with my computer, Touch Detective got installed.First impressions?
Much better then the DS version. The graphics are much crisper then the DS could allow. And the touch controls appear so far, well designed, arguably better then the DS and the stylus.
My only complaint, is that they didn't do a compile for the iPad. I think it would've translated very well on the larger device. But that's minor in the grand scale.
Grade A port. I say go for it if you haven't played it on the DS already.
Amazon lists the DS game at $20, but you can get it used for (+ shipping) at ~$8. Considering the iOS version is $8.99 via in app purchase, and you get bonus content.
On the other hand, the sequel is still DS only, It costs $15 dollars on Amazon, and $9 used. So there's always more to experience should it suit your interests.
About Touch Detective itself. It plays almost identically to the games I posted earlier, called "Broken Sword", however, it's a horror setting, but with a cast that seems more like they'd fit in a sudo bubbly fantasy world. It's good clean fun.
Just a warning, when you beat case 1, you WILL be scratching your head. But the... very odd solution of case 1 will make much more sense when you get to the end.

Not much to say, other then Chapter 3 feels like a sequel to Chapter 1. Add to it that Chapter 2 felt later in the game... it's a fascinating correlation.
I'll say this much, Antonie would make for a very vicious prosecutor. He'd definitely be up higher then any of the AA regulars, but less then Von Karma. Too bad his personality is a bit... generic. He still needs to take monologue lessons from Hyde.
Plot twists and surprises in this chapter however. I like the story telling.

And yeah, Antoine is kind of a RPG-hero Everyman, which is a bit strange for such a story based RPG game...
Spoiler: but you see
He would be a vicious prosecutor! But then again, it all comes in to how you play him. Have you tried intentionally screwing up some of the answers from what you believe they should be yet? Perhaps you're just playing him ruthlessly!

All I have to say is see what happens when you get more wrong.
Also if you don't feel like ever sleeping again look in the suspiciously closed closet with the owner still present.
