Sonic on iPods

Is it just me, or does this look like a direct port of the old game gear version? This isn't a "hacked" iPod, but something you can actually purchase in the iPod Games section in iTunes.

On a side note, I haven't really looked at the games that had been released (I have a nano so they don't work on it). Kinda nice selection now which includes BomberMan and PacMan (and Mrs Pac Man ). Granted if you have a DS, this sorta stuff is a mute point.

God, that guy sucks. You can beat that level, straight up, in 30 seconds.

Well, needless to say I'm excited.

I won't rebuy it again, I won't rebuy it again, I won't rebuy it again.

Seriously, there's the original release, there's this CD pack for the PC I got once, there's Sega Smash Pack, Sonic Mega Collection, the Virtual Console, XBLA, cellphones, GBA, and now this too.

Coming 2008, Sonic The Hedgehog for MICROWAVES. And in 2015, Sonic will plug directly into your brain. Screw controllers.

I've heard nothing but "it's ass" - oh well.

I never really liked the original Sonic the Hedgehog. When I played Sonic the Hedgehog 2 back in the day, I absolutely was not capable of playing a Sonic game with the Spin Dash.

I don't see how this would be possible to play with the click wheel what so ever. Do not want.
