Sega mobile announces a bunch of games
It announced that they will be releasing nine or so games to cellular phones. The announced mobile line up so far is
- SEGA Columns™ Deluxe
- Beijing 2008 – The Official Mobile Phone Game of the Olympic Games™
- Sonic at the Olympic Games™
- Samba de Amigo™
- Sonic Spinball™
- Medieval: Total War™
- Zaxxon™
- Sonic The Hedgehog 2™
- 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!

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.
