I'm waaaaaiting

Sonic the Hedgehog games on iOS finally get an update to work on iPhone 6

Many developers updated their games to run perfectly on the iPhone 6 within weeks after Apple's latest phones came out last September. But not Sega.

Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Sonic CD have only just been updated to work on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6+. That's nearly seven months of incompatibility on the new phones. Tut tut, Sega.

That said, is anyone that desperate to play 20-year-old games on your brand new phone? Either way, it's beyond the point.

As Touch Arcade points out, the updates were submitted to Sega way back in November, and so it's taken since then to test and approve them.

Why has it taken this long, then? It's anyone's guess. Perhaps it has something to do with the company being restructured and the San Francisco office being shut down.

In any case, at least you can play the speedy platformers on your iPhone 6 and 6+ now.

You can purchase all three of these Sonic games for £2.29 / $2.99 each on the App Store. That's Sonic the Hedgehog [buy], Sonic the Hedgehog 2 [buy], and Sonic CD [buy].
