Sonic the Hedgehog ported to iPhone
The old school animal hero returns on the scene: Last fall, Namco’s Pac-Man led the first wave of games to be released on iTunes. Today, another iconic game character–Sonic the Hedgehog–headlined the latest batch of games to be released on the service. Like other games, Sonic the Hedgehog will cost $4.99–the standard price set by Apple–and will be playable on all iPods that support video, including the new Nano. However, unlike other iPod games, this is a port of the Sega Genesis original, and marks the first time a console game has been rejiggered for the iPod.
Sega president Simon Jeffery said that Sega had listened to criticism of previous iPod games, and designed a two-tiered control scheme–one for two-handed play, and a one-handed scheme for “players on the go.” He also said that the game had been in the works for some time, following extensive talks between Sega and Apple, which is notoriously choosy when it comes to selecting games for iTunes. “Apple is very keen on the Sonic franchise, as Sonic is one of the most iconic game characters of all time,” said Jeffery. “They’re looking for games that appeal to as wide an audience as possible.” Who’s next, Mario?

Sonic meet my new ipod touch
Honestly guys, I think you should just stick to release news and leave DAYS OLD tech ‘news’ to others.
You have a hard enough time keeping up to date with scene releases.
I always considered Sonic to be lame… and this does nothing to change my mind.
hump you should check your facts before you write something like that, this is no more than 1 day old piece of news. i appreciate your opinion but we will continue doing what we do for years now. and we never stated that it’s our intention to cover ALL releases…
I always hated that f*cking hedgehog…
He won’t be visiting my iPod any time soon, especially not for 4,99.
Please stick to releases, you dont report all of them and this information is not correct.
“The $4.99 game, made by Sega, is available for all iPods that are game-compatible, including the 3rd generation iPod Nano, the 5th generation iPod, and iPod Classic.”
So no iPhone or Touch. Ok
Duke Nukem Forever trailer is being released at noon (cst).

Sonic the Hedgehog ported to iPhone????
and the talk is all about ipod comeon guys
check wat u post
sonic on my Ipod??? freagin done!
I played Sonic constantly on the sefa game gear when I first got it. It was addictive as hell.
It’s for iPod, not iPhone.
Martin, you folks do a damn good job here, no matter what anyone says.
I’d rather plug in the 32bit Sega and rock this before I ever wasted 5 bucks on an iPod game. No remake of Sonic will ever touch the original… except the compilation game for PS2.
And to those of you who don’t like Sonic… you must’ve been Tails queers.
why arnt they makeing these games for the nano?
just the 3rd gen nano, why no love for the rest of us?
BTW
@#2 not compatible for iPod touch either

I watched a video on the internet with a young boy playing sonic on his iphone. So i thought i’d look about to find it. Well it is no where to be found. ITunes has it for ipod’s only. So how did he get it on his phone? Seems a little silly that you can’t play it on the phone, isn’t it an ipod too! That’s why i bought it.
Anyone know how to get it for iphone? I seen someone playing it on it so it must be.
That’s ok figured it out found a good site called phoneroms.*** the only thing that was different in my phone was the path name for the rom’s was different but if you click on your emulator before installing any roms it will say no roms and give you the path name you will need to use. Played space invaders today, yay!!! brings back the memories doesn’t it?
