A Sonic 2 iPhone app is set to arrive next week following the first Sonic iPhone app which was released last May and ahead of Sonic 4. Read on for details of what you can expect from Sonic 2 on the iPhone.

The iPhone app obsessives at Appolicious got an early hands on with the Sonic 2 iPhone app and report that like the first Sonic iPhone game, it features an virtual d-pad and a single action button for controls.

The Sonic 2 iPhone app consists of 11 zones, each with two acts and includes Sonic’s classic spin dash attack. However, while Tails makes an appearance, Sonic 2 for iPhone doesn’t have the original’s two-player mode. Tails simply follows after you.

We’re glad to see Sega bringing the classic Sonic games to iPhone but we’re still hoping for that Sonic 4 iPhone app and eager to get our hands on those allegedly HD visuals in the Sonic 4 Wii version.

Due next week | £TBC | Sega (via Appolicious)

    More Sonic can only, in my opinion, be a very good thing.

      I’d like to add a qualifier to that: more 2D Sonic can only be a good thing.

    I’m glad iPhone are catching up on the Sonic stakes.

    Sitting playing full Sonic 1, 2 & 3 on my Nokia N900 at the moment along with all the great Sega Mega Drive games (Shinobi, Streets of Rage 2, James Pond 2, Double Dragon 4, etc..) thanks to PicoDrive for Maemo :)

      Um, you left out the original Streets Of Rage. Heretic! :)

        LOL I have that as well for the N900. I actually have the original Sega Mega Drive with Streets of Rage in my garage, unfortunately one of the controllers is broken, was always best played as a 2UP game :D

          Definitely. Did you break one of the controllers by throwing it at a friend when they said the wrong answer at the end of the first Streets Of Rage, and got dumped back at the beginning of the game again?
