Apologies. smes3817 Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2009 1,120 8 38 Massachusetts, USA #4 smes3817, Jun 20, 2013 Probably worth picking up Sonic 2 while its also on sale for a buck knowing that the upcoming remaster update is imminent... Karma32 Well-Known Member Apr 12, 2010 230 0 0 #5 Karma32, Jun 20, 2013 Was there news on that? I'd get it if it was remasterd and universal. smes3817 Well-Known Member Oct 15, 2009 1,120 8 38 Massachusetts, USA #6 smes3817, Jun 20, 2013 It was mentioned in the first posting of the original getting remastered as well as just about every other article about them afterwards. The first one is here: http://toucharcade.com/2013/04/05/original-sonic-the-hedgehog-getting-remastered-on-ios-courtesy-of-christian-whitehead/ Christian Whitehead has confirmed it is being worked on. I don't think a time frame has been released for the update but I can't image it is too far off. Either way, I definitely bought it for a buck currymutton Well-Known Member Oct 16, 2008 4,430 1 0 #7 currymutton, Jun 21, 2013 Statement : Like the game even though I am pretty poor at playing it. Expectation: hope it some day would support iCade or the upcoming MFi controller on iOS7 Andre Well-Known Member Apr 11, 2012 3,643 2 38 #8 Andre, Jun 21, 2013 Not only this game, but also prices of other games of SEGA are dropped. zergslayer69 Well-Known Member Apr 21, 2010 1,211 3 38 #9 zergslayer69, Jun 21, 2013 Picked up sonic 2 for the eventual update and damn the port is terrible, small screen, bad bad bad frame rates.
