 Earlier this morning, Sega of America released news(PR) of the availability of the 1991 Sonic the Hedgehog game on the Apple iPod series. Support is slated for the iPod nano with video, iPod classic, and fifth generation iPods. The 45+ million copy franchise is going to be available through any of the 22 iTune stores for 4.99 USD and can be "gifted" as well.Sega hopes that the tremendous install base of the iPod family will lend to exposing a whole new audience to the old time wonders of Sonic The Hedgehog. The game has been reprogrammed with the Apple's proprietary format and should provide a good port experience. Apple gave SEGA considerable support while making this game. Let us hope that they did a better job of this rendition than the horrendous GBA version. * *Update*: Control Scheme: We've managed to ascertain the control scheme: Click (hold) right to run right Click (hold) left to run left Center button jumps.
