Sega's Great Releases On iOS









Sega is a staple of the gaming industry. Their revolutionary games and consoles helped shape the way things flow today. In particular, their Dreamcast hardware was light years ahead of it's time with hi-resolution graphics, unique abilities via the VMU(can you say WiiU?) and out of the box online gameplay/Internet web surfing. Game franchises such as Sonic, Phantasy Star, Chu Chu Rocket, Samba de Amigo, Space Channel 5 and Shenmue have influenced and inspired many great franchises today.

With all of this great gaming legacy, wouldn't it be great to have a little taste of that on the go? Just a little taste?

Luckily Sega has delivered a number of great gaming goods on the go for your iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone for great prices.

Let's start with Chu Chu Rocket. The first online, worldwide multiplayer console title is now home on iOS. Featuring everything that was great about the original DC release, the game feels like it was specifically built for touch interfaces. Beautiful graphics, catchy melodies and full of fun! Fun! Fun! At $2.99 you have to add this to your gaming library.

Next up is the big blue blur. His 20th birthday this year is celebrated with a great number of anticipated releases and fanfare. Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing is the stuff of crazy kart action. Those yearning for Mario Kart on Apple's products have their prayers answered via Sega. Sonic's racer is plenty of awesome! Featuring a ton of tracks and karts based off of Sega's beloved franchises, this is a gamer's dream. You wanna know the best part? It plays amazingly well and is just as great as Nintendo's beloved franchise. Fantastic stuff!

Sonic also appears in Sonic The Hedgehog 1, 2 and 4. Featuring a very responsive d-pad, the games fill your heart with retro fun. Ahhh! Them Genesis days. *sniff* Sonic 4 is the beloved hedgehog's recent HD action adventure which was also released for consoles. It's nice to have a little Sonic action on the go. Especially when they are awesome classic adventures like these.

Rounding out the Sega love, a number of Genesis classics such as Golden Axe, Phantasy Star 2, Streets of Rage and Gunstar Heroes are available from .99 cents to $2.99. There is plenty more, check out the App Store for the full library.

Happy gaming! Sega's got you covered. ;)
