Sonic 4 scheduled for July, planned for iPhone photo

While the Internet is still buzzing with Sonic the Hedgehog 4 gossip, now would be a good time to mention that the "Summer 2010" release window for Sega's big blue reboot has been narrowed down to July. This is thanks to some sleuthing from those scarily obsessive Sonic fans of the Internet. 

The current teaser imagery for Sonic 4 reveals the game will come to Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360, with one platform blacked out. You may have already heard this, but the platform in question is the iPhone. Sony loyalists dug around in the game's official site, pulling out assets that revealed the iPhone platform, along with the July release month. 

While we wait for more information, feel free to read this article, where I told people to shut up with their moaning about Sonic 4.

Ok, Sonic 4, cool... but a version for iPhone is not usually a good sign. I'm kinda scared right now. Please Sega, do it right this time.

This is the first sonic game in over a decade that I've been interested in.

As far as my usual skepticism of iPhone games goes, I still have yet to find an iPhone port that works well.

Still, neat.

Meh. The iPhone is really bad for games of this type. I'm hoping this game will be good, but I'll be passing on the iPhone version.

If it can get a half-assed port to the iPhone, why doesn't Sega give it a full-assed port to the PSP?

The animation in the trailer was incredibly shoddy, but I'm willing to reserve judgment on the final product.

Is it just me or is he running slow? The graphics literally looks like sonic rush on consoles.

The graphics are awesome, but the animation is terrible. His running animation looks slow and unnatural.
They should've just stolen Brawl's "You're too slow" animation...

I'm REALLY surprised this isn't coming to the PSP if they're doing an iPhone port. The iPhone DOESN'T WORK for games that require buttons.

Anyway, I'm currently torn between which one to get -- On the one hand, the PS3 version will be 1080p. On the other, the Wii version can be transferred through an SD card, where all my other downloaded games are. Hmm...

What Sega should do is make the PS3 version also work on the PSP.

But that didn't even happen with Mega Man 9 and likely won't with 10.

@GeneOB I CONCUR GOOD SIR. Couldn't believe they didn't make Mega Man 9 for PSP.. they could've made it two separate versions even and I would've prob bought both.

July would be a great time to release Sonic. All the kids will be out of school and hungry for some more old-school action...by kids I mean 21 year old college students with no lives.

I really enjoyed playing the classic sonic games on my ipod. 2D platformers make really good hand held games.

Concurring with pedrovay and Ball Buster. Get it onto the PSP, dammit.

Yeah, the fact that this is coming to the freaking iPhone and NOT the PSP is a crime.
