It came out today too.

And of course it wont show up in my google play.... so I guess my version doesn't support it? My android phone is only like a year old, wtf. They're really rubbing it in my face by listing the same model 3 times in a row too.

I don't mean to sound ignorant here but, why are we all suddenly getting excited over a fan port of Sonic 2 on cellphones? On that note, how did Sega allow fans to port one of their games and why is this relevant again? Did I miss something? Is this that Sonic 2 HD Remake from a few years back with hand drawn sprites and stuff, because it just looks like generic Sonic 2 to me.

Hmm, this could be a slightly better port. I've run into a few bugs, notably the app crashing half the time when I get an air bubble or when a block that was moving away from me still registered as crushing me against a wall.

It'll probably get another update soon.

EDIT: @Psycho - this guy's been doing ports for a while now. He was behind Sonic CD and Sonic 1 2.0 before this. It's not the first time Sega has brought someone else on board, I believe a well-known emulator programmer was involved in the DS port collection?
This isn't Sonic 2 HD, but it is a completely rebuilt game. Instead of an emulator, it's based on a fairly solid engine that they simply put Sonic 2 music and stages into. The engine isn't 1:1, but it's close enough that the game plays perfectly fine. (Only notable issues I had were some weird jumps in Starlight, but I don't know if those were a problem to begin with) It runs much better than emulating the games does. The best addition to it is the ability to save progress; they also brought in Knuckles as a playable character by default.

Sonic 2 is especially notable because they added Hidden Palace Zone in. I think they also removed the Hill Top Zone boss? Unless there was never one to begin with.

Personally, I'm most excited about the ports because they've so far seemed much more responsive than the original games ever were. Once the bugs are ironed out, this will be the definitive version of Sonic 2. It's why everyone's so antsy to have it on PC and console now.

The only reason I got it is because I had extra Gplay credit.

Also Hav, your phone is like 2-3 years old. It doesn't have the same processing power as new phones.

It can run Sonic Dash just fine, the processing power should be able to run 50 Sonic 2's at the same time.

It could be an API issue if you're not running the newest version of Android. The game could just do things your phone doesn't support.

The missing Hill Top Zone boss was due to some errors. At least that's what I read.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???
