So, last week Sega hyped up some big news concerning Sonic the Hedgehog 4, only to let us down by announcing a delay and the iPhone version that everybody had already predicted. Lame. This week, however, those looking forward to the portable version at least got a bit of cool news, with Sega stating that it’ll get two special stages.
These unique levels will make use of the iPhone tilting controls, which might indicate that the controversial mine kart level has been removed from the console game and stuck here instead. While I still think the person playing the mine kart made it look worse than it was (because he clearly sucked at it), this will be good news for most players who weren’t keen on the concept.
In any case, this might make the iPhone version worth buying even if you download the console iteration. At least if you’re a big enough Sonic fan. We shall have to see how the rest of the interface works out.
