Sega will release Sonic 2 on cell phones

JKKDARK · June 10th, 2006, 20:19

The first Sonic for cell phones was a success in Japan and Europe

The new game will introduce Tails to the ever-expanding Sonic stable

The game does not yet have any release plans for America, but in Japan, the game is featured as an exclusive pre-install on Panasonic's gorgeous P902iS handset. The release date is unknown at the moment.
Sonic 2 will be the same as the Genesis/Megadrive version, but with some slight edits for the smallest screen.
Check the screens of the Sonic's next cell phone adventure (In Japan, at least. I hope to see the game in Europe

).

I hate to be pessimistic, but I thought it was difficult to play on the Nomad with it's small screen, I can't imagine it being bigger on a cell phone...

Sklasko · June 11th, 2006, 13:14

It's nice to see great games made available for the cellphone but like Paratech said, I think there must be major control issues. Besides, I don't see why people play games on their cell phones anyway...

You can't play on handhelds?

Play on GameGear or DS is not difficult. I never played with a Nomad, but the size is similar to the GameGear..

Actually I play games on my cellphone, I don't have a gba or a psp so I use my cell to play games on the go.
There are some good games for cell phones out there, I played the prince of persia games which were good games IMHO.
Also Alpha Wing 2, Asphalt Urban GT and others.

I sometimes play a bit (giana sisters currently) on my phone, but never much. I'd play more if it had a real d-pad, etc. =P

Sonic 2 was a great game on MegaDrive...I spent alot of time playing the Sonic series...but, I just can't accept cell phones as a gaming platform...I just can't take them seriously. It will be Sonic 2, but on a phone, but I think that is ruining a great experience.

Why the heck do people play games on their phones?!?!?

I am very sceptical about Sonic on cell phones.People nowadays play more action games,with violence,etc. Most people that still play platformers/jump&run are from the old generation(gamers,not people

) like myself that cant forget the 16bit games. For me it's strange that 2d Mario for the GBA & DS is making huge sales even today.Maybe Nintendo has some kind of aura or something

Don't exaggerate. While joking, I think I have some kind of a point, actually ;p

Would you still say the same if phones actually had decent game controls (because I think that's the big problem)?

Or, are real gamers to 1337 to use phones for gaming?

MT · June 15th, 2006, 18:47

Ok I'll try to stop joking aswell

neow = now in the *whispers*secret*whispers* dialect.

What I can see is that EVERYTHING can play games. In other hand, once videogames were MADE to run GAMES, now they have HDD and webcam :|
Actually I don't think this release to a cellphone will break with Sonic's enchantment - but I care with whole thing, know? Like, cellphones playing Mega Drive games. Where will videogames be? While cellphones were playing "Snake" I was happy. Now they're playing Sonic 2. :|

Yup, it's hard to understand my conclusion =P but I am really archaic with those kind of things.

I like my cell to have some quick games for on the go, like BustaMove (puzzle bobble) or Bomberman, those are the games that work best.
