It's time to drop a little bomb, Sonic CD Options

[The Taxman]

Hey gang, I wasn't going to make this public for a little while, but given SEGA's latest blog post, and their upcoming discussions on wednesday it's time for some guerilla marketing!

The question is, do YOU want it? This is more than just one of their emulator ports, we're talking iPhone exclusive enhancements and features (I've got some cool plans)

This is amazing. That is all.

That is one VERY impressive piece of work there Taxman. That is hands down one of the coolest things I've seen to date in this community!

As for me wanting it... I'm not much of a gamer these days, and I don't even have any portable devices, so I don't know that I would help Sega's cause in answering yes or no either way. But I bet a lot of other people would want it.

Holy Shit...

Sonic 2 Spindash comes to mind and maybe more fluid movement... I'll think about it tomorrow. I PC port would be nice too.

Oh both sound tracks both sound tracks! This is probably the most exciting piece of Sonic related news I've heard since the announcement of Sonic Adventure.

...what? Having these tracks loop on this version would be pretty cool. I don't own an iPhone or iPod Touch and probably never will, but this is still a novel idea. Fantastic work, Taxman!

I don't have an iPhone, either... but it would be great for this to happen.

If only for the facts that
1) Sonic CD doesn't get ported much, and
2) Considering how poorly made certain Sonic ports to portable systems have been.

There is a huge amount of comments in that blog post asking for Shining Force...

That said, I think it'd be a good idea to provide a setting to make the controls not interfere with the screen. I wouldn't like my fingers covering the bottom of the game screen, although this most likely will involve having a smaller game display area :/

There is the ability to use the accelerometer to control left/right, or adjust the translucency of the buttons, but yeah otherwise visible buttons are necessary evil on the iPhone. At least I moved the lives display so your thumbs don't cover it! (unlike Sonic 1 for iPhone)

With Wiiiiiiiiiiide screen? Do want!

Three things:

1: Yes. a Sonic CD port would be fucking badass.
2: Both soundtracks please.
3: Or fuck, why not an option for custom soundtracks too?
3.5: JP soundtrack with SNCBNK music files attached?

[SephyUK]

Oh my god, I think I just pissed my pants.

EDIT: Also, remember when Stealth released a copy of SCD where you could play as Knuckles or Tails as well?

Yeah, that.

There'll only be one soundtrack, but the iPhone SDK allows users to select their own music, effectively solving the soundtrack issue.

Wait, this is remade with a different engine instead of being ported? It looks exactly the same - good job! Though I don't have an iPhone, I'm all for this.

[Chimpo]

I'm more interested in the source of the song.
