Sega mobile announces a bunch of games

by George on April 8th, 2008

It announced that they will be releasing nine or so games to cellular phones. The announced mobile line up so far is

  1. SEGA Columns™ Deluxe
  2. Beijing 2008 – The Official Mobile Phone Game of the Olympic Games™
  3. Sonic at the Olympic Games™
  4. Samba de Amigo™
  5. Sonic Spinball™
  6. Medieval: Total War™
  7. Zaxxon™
  8. Sonic The Hedgehog 2™
  9. Crazy Taxi™

I do think some of the titles announced don’t suit mobile phones (well, I don’t think any games do). But I mean, a RTS on your phone? Plus you can’t play Samba without maracas or some sort of motion sensor device. Thats absurd!

1 opinion for Sega mobile announces a bunch of games

    I should point out that mobile phone games in Japan are far more advanced than other countries.

    At TGS there were several booths showing off phone games - including some from Sega.
    And they would use the phone’s camera to detect movement and motion - so some games you would literally stand there and move and the game would react.

    They had a sports game which I tried out - and you had to run on the spot in front of the phone - and the guy in the game would run at a similar speed to you. It was quite cool - if you slowed down, so did your character.

    I would imagine that some games - Like Samba were originally designed for this feature… I just hope it works out like that.
