A lot more often.
Yeah, I was using the control pad and buttons. I don't now how to access it with the touch screen controls.
I think one of the boxes gave me all the emeralds because the next time I played a bonus stage and got the emerald it gave me all 7 of them (there's an option in the debug/level select menu for 6 or 7 emeralds as well). This unlocks super sonic and I can do the Sonic 3 double jump air slash move. The element shields are available in the stages as well. It gave me the water bubble in most of the labyrinth zone, and the lightning shield to use against eggman in act 3. I think they just replace the regular ring protector monitors.

Definitely seems to be the case that you can't hit him until he is in position, oh well no more early hits.

The music sounds pretty impressive, remastering it definitely payed off. Play this with some nice headphones.

With true remasters and not just emulation jobs? A LOT more!

Be nice if they released the Sega Ages versions of Phantasy Star 1 and 2.

I read that you need to beat the game with all the Chaos Emeralds to get Knuckles and just beat it once to get Tails.

And the Shining Force games, I'd totally play 'em on my smartphone!

Does anyone knows if the 3DS version is the same of this?
Shining Force 1- I believe is available on IOS. Has been for a while now.

How do I find this game on the App Store? There's so much Sonic bloat.
Is it the one simply called "Sonic the Hedgehog?"

Yes. It was released as an update to the old 2009 release. Which is super nice of them.

Taxman said not at the moment. No SKU targetted because these versions allows them to get at the bugs/glitches out in this version faster.

They are totally different. The iOS/Android one is running on Taxman's engine, which is a native application. The 3DS one is a quasi-emulation deal done by M2.

I grabbed the Android version and I've played a few stages with my Xperia Play. It's awesome. 60fps, no slowdown, none of the music channels cut out for sound effects.
I also accessed the level select and debug mode using the old code and it works. It's got options for turning speed dash on/off, Sonic 1 spike death, limit air speed, limit ground speed. Also, there are monitors available in the debug mode for the 3 sonic 3 ring protectors (lightning, fire, water bubble), chaos emeralds, and Super Sonic.
I tried to grab some screenshots but whenever I try it goes into the menu. You can still make it out though.
Can someone get some better screenshots?
I tried this on the Wii Remote. I got the level select, but not the debug mode.
Edit: I got the debug mode working, but I can't duplicate sprites for some reason.

Oh, they're good? That's cool. I was thinking of getting this and that was making me a bit nervous.

The game's already a treat, but enabling debug just shows off all sorts of little wonderful touches.
, but there's more than that. Little, clever stuff like
Oh, and if you use debug to cheat away from falling down for the cinema before Scrap Brain Act 3, and go over to Eggman's side, he'll actually react to you attacking him (or when he hurts you). I don't think you can defeat him, but I wouldn't be surprised if you could.
There's even codes to enable the hidden Japanese credits (remade), and to switch Tails' name to Miles, like in Sonic 2 (and I believe 3?). It's a love letter to classic Sonic, even exceeding his work on Sonic CD.
Placing mixes of monitors from Sonic 1, 2, and 3, including all the effects. enabling the 7th emerald and Super forms for everybody
including a deleted enemy, and the Goggles. Which do nothing. (Okay, they take a hit like a shield. Edit: Whoops, they do actually add to the time you can stay underwater.)

Just noticed, but all of the Sonic games on Android / iOS are on sale for $1. Now's a great time to pick this one up.

This is cool. Shame it's shit to control due to the nature of the hardware. Nicely made conversion though

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Nice. Thanks for the heads up. I picked up Sonic 1 and it is as good a port as Sonic CD.

On Android you have options: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00932N46S/?tag=neogaf0e-20
A cable like that will let you plug in practically any controller that works with a PC.
