Classic Sega game Sonic CD to arrive on Windows Phone later this year

Today, Sega officially revealed their plans to revive the classic 1993 Sega CD  game titled Sonic CD. Oh I remember spending hours at the video game store waiting to grab the game. Not really. I was just 1 year old at that time. If you haven't heard of the game, fret not, here's some gameplay of Sonic CD in action (looks fun!) :



More after the break.

From the official Sega Blog announcement:

Today we are happy to announce that Sonic CD will debut on mobile phones and consoles everywhere! Originally released for the SEGA CD system in 1993, and included the first appearance of fan favorite characters Metal Sonic and Amy Rose. Big news for fans everywhere, Sonic CD is coming to digital platforms with music from the original Japanese soundtrack. The beloved prequel to Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode I is coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade, PlayStation Network, iPhone and iPod touch, iPad, PC Digital Download, Android, and Windows Phone! Best of all, Sonic CD will be available for download in late 2011!
“Ask any Sonic fan to name their favorite games, and Sonic CD always ranks near the top of their lists,” said Haruki Satomi, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA. “Sonic CD marks an important chapter in Sonic’s history, bridging the gap between his oldest adventures and his new digital exploits like Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode I. We’ve made sure the re-mastered edition has everything that Sonic fans want to see with all of the original colorful classic zones.”

Good news is that it will come with XBL achievements on the platform - woots! The Pre release version will be demoed at Microsoft booth PAX  Prime in Seattle  (August 26–28, 2011 ).   Game will be available late this year, so gear up for some more Sonic action on Windows Phone!
