One of the things that many fans of the Sonic 1 and 2 Remasters have been wanting was a release beyond mobile devices and onto TV's. Well it's not the console releases we are looking for, but today SEGA and Christian Whitehead released a port of the Sonic 1 Remaster from iOS to the tvOS App Store on 4th Gen Apple TV's. All features of the iOS version are here but now it has been optimized for HDTV's and to be playable with Apple's Siri Remote. While the remotes design and Apple's instance that it be usable in all games has been a problem for some developers, inplenting it on a 2D Sonic game is not that bad, as all you need a way to do move and jump. iOS Controller support was omitted (dang it!) but hopefully that will be added soon. I'll try the game with my Siri Remote and see how it goes. Sonic 1 is available on tvOS for $2.99, but those that purchased the iOS version can download the tvOS version for free. An iCloud Account is required for game saves. Edited by AugieD, Mar 16 2016, 07:38 PM.

Can't be bothered with Apple TV personally, but I do think the concept is fairly neat. As for the game, it's cool that they have that on their storefront now, however late it may be. I wonder if it supports MFI controllers? I still need to look into those... |

Omitted at launch, but Whitehead could add that later if enough fans ask for it. |

I don't have an Apple TV, but I'd get Sonic 1 if I had an Apple TV. Maybe one day I'll get an Apple TV. I do like Apple products. |

I did get to play Sonic 1 a bit, the game actually does have game controller support in its help screens but Apple is not listing the game as controller compatible, so it might not have been a proper implementation. The Siri remote controls are simple, you hold it sideways with the touch pad on the left, and you put your finger on the left or right side of the touch pad for move left and right (not the real feeling of a contoroller but it works) and you press Play/Pause to jump. Game Center is not working right now due to ongoing issues surrounding the service impacting all games. SEGA did inform the press today that Sonic 2 will be on tvOS on March 24th and CD will be out on March 31st. |

One still wants that Sonic 3 & Knuckles fix...plug an even more glaring market hole than the market hole for Sonic on AppleTVs. Good thing is, our Android apps can be literally rescaled to fit a TV and still play properly right off the bat, so the market hole they're filling is even smaller. |

Correct, Android TV and Amazon Fire TV has been able to play all 3 Taxman remasters without modification. |
