Sonic 4 was meant to be spinning into our lives this summer but it seems tarting up the sprightly blue mammal is taking longer than expected. Sega has announced that Sonic 4 will be delayed until later in the year. But tt’s confirmed that Sonic 4 is headed for the iPhone too by way of consolation. Sonic’s meant to be speedy, so what’s taking so long?
Over on the Sega’s official blog, a statement has popped up saying that Sonic 4 will be released until “in late 2010”. That’s bad news for retro gaming fans but Sega has sweetened the deal by confirming that the mystery platform that it had teased us with will be…drum roll…the iPhone OS.
So when Sonic 4 does finally drop it’ll be available on the iPhone, iPod Touch, Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3. If you want to remind yourself of what we’re all waiting for, take a look at our Sonic 4 gallery of classic boss battles reborn. And if you’re really pining for the spiny hero, the Sonic 2 iPhone app recently hit the iTunes App Store.
Let us know whether you think Sonic 4 will be worth the wait in the comments. Which other classic gaming characters are due for a resurrection?
Due late 2010 | £TBC | Sega
