Sonic 4 vertraagd door iPhone

Vanwege de problemen van de iPhone-versie van Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is het spel ook uitgesteld voor Xbox LIVE Arcade, WiiWare en PlayStation Network. Het spel zou deze zomer uit moeten komen.

Sonic Team's Takashi Iizuka heeft aangegeven dat de iPhone- en consoleversies in principe dezelfde content zouden dragen, maar speciale iPhone-levels waren niet mogelijk op de consoles.

"Originally the game was supposed to come out in summer this year. While it wasn't really apparent at the time, we announced this as a PSN, XBLA and WiiWare title but at the same time the iPhone version of Sonic 4 was also in development. The team wanted the game to work really well on the iPhone with the same stages and the same kind of mechanics as the console versions, but it didn't really work the way the team imagined." 

Hj voegt daar aan toe: "What they did was they kept the iPhone version closer to the original and they went back to the console version and changed some stages to be better playable on console. That's the reason behind the delay and the extension in the development schedule."
