SEGA have announced a new Super Monkey Ball game called Super Monkey Ball Bounce. As with a lot of SEGA’s recent output, the game is a mobile title for iOS and Android devices and looks incredibly similar to the Peggle games. Check out the trailer below:
Super Monkey Ball Bounce launches this Summer on iOS and Android devices. It will be a free-to-play title.
SEGA’s Japanese iOS game Dragon Coins has been brought to the Western iOS App Store and Android Google Play Store. The game is free to download but those dreaded in-app purchases rear their head in the form of coin purchases. £6.99 gets you a sack of coins (snigger) and £2.99 gets you a bag.
The previously Japanese exclusive mobile game is a strange hybrid of Pokemon-esque RPG monster battling and those 2p machines you see down the arcade.
A new Crazy Taxi game has been announced for iOS and Android devices. The new game is called Crazy Taxi: City Rush and it’s being developed by SEGA’s mobile developer Hardlight Studio. Check out the announcement trailer below and the first screenshot above:
Japan has received an exclusive version of Sonic Dash for iOS and Android devices called ‘Sonic Dash S’. This new version appears to be similar to the original but with a couple of new features that include Dr. Eggman boss battles, a fever mode and the addition of Chao which provide stat boosts.
If you have access to the Japanese App Store or Google Play store you can download the game for iOS by clicking here or Android by clicking here. There is currently no word on whether this updated edition will make it to the West.
Christian “The Taxman” Whitehead returns once again with a Retro Engine-powered port of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for Android and iOS devices. The new version of the 16 bit classic launches tomorrow and will be a free update for those who already own the existing port of Sonic 2 for these devices.
Along with the usual enhancements of a widescreen display and more accurate controls, Whitehead has seen fit to add Hidden Palace Zone as an unlockable bonus stage. This is not the Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic & Knuckles either; this is the version that was discovered in Sonic 2 Beta. Whitehead has obviously not left the stage incomplete and has given it a lovely makeover which now includes gimmicks like the water jet you can see above.
Hardlight Studio’s endless runner Sonic Dash has finally made its way to Android devices. The game is available to download from the Google Play store for a measly £no money.
The next in Christian ‘Taxman’ Whitehead’s Retro Engine Sonic remasters is Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and the game is coming to iOS and Android devices this November.
Also confirmed is a scaled down version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed also for iOS and Android. This title is being released in December and features a new World Tour mode exclusive to this version.
Rejoice Android gamers! Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is now available to buy and download on Android devices. Took them long enough, eh? You can check out the launch trailer below:
