Sega : “iPhone As Powerful As Dreamcast.”
Sega are “deliriously happy” at the moment with Super Monkey Ball’s success on the iPhone App Store, and when talking of the future at E3, they mentioned the handset as a force to be reckoned with as a platform in it’s own right.
Oh, and they reckon the iPhone is as powerful as their last console, the Dreamcast. Exactly. Let’s just hope it doesn’t befall the same fate…
The President of Sega America, Simon Jeffery waxed lyrical about it during an interview with Kotaku, which you may find here. He also took the opportunity to pledge their future support, and insult Nokia’s gaming wasteland in the same breath: “It’s everything that the N-Gage wasn’t as a gaming device.” Ouch.
Our opinion mirrors the many vocal members of the comments thread, release some Sega classics and we will all be very happy. Touchscreen Samba De Amigo? A decent Sonic game? All very welcome.
