The game will be made available from the iPhone App Store for $9.99, with more to come from the Japanese publisher, according to the company's associate producer Ethan Einhorn
Meanwhile, Spanish game developer Digital Legends took time to show off 3D action adventure Krull, which is due for a September release.
Ebay and mobile communities specialist Loopt have also taken to the main stage to show off their wares.
Apple says content providers wishing to sell their software via the App Store (protected by FairPlay DRM) will have to choose between two price points: free and $9.99.
CPs get to keep 70 per cent of the revenue. App Store will be availble in 62 countries.
Apple says its iPhone SDK has been downloaded 250,000 times since it was released in March, with 25,000 developer programme applications received. So far, 4,000 have been accepted.
