E3 2010: Sonic 4, 1942 Coming to iPhone

Game developers are announcing lots of new stuff at the E3, and it’s good to see so many of them are planning to release games for iPhones and iPads. We’ve seen Final Fantasy Tactics being ported to the iPhone. Now, Sega and Capcom have announced that Sonic 4 and 1942: First Strike are coming to the iPhone.

TouchArcade got the chance to try Sonic 4 for iPhone:

“With both tilt and touch controls as well as the same amount of content found in the game on other consoles, Sonic 4 is really working up to be something special. I was cautiously optimistic when Sega announced the delay of the game, and it really seems like they’re taking their time to make a game that anyone who looks back to the days of classic 16 bit fast-paced platformers will enjoy.”

Capcom didn’t say that much about 1942, but you can check out the first screenshots here.
