Sega Mobile announced that the classic Sonic the Hedgehog has reached a mobile milestone, surpassing eight million downloads on mobile phones since it launched in North America and Europe in early 2006. The game has seen the most success on Verizon Wireless' V CAST service where it's been a consistent top seller.
"Sonic the Hedgehog is a title that resonates with a universal audience of gamers who have grown up with the franchise, as well as with a growing audience of casual players," said Linda Chaplin, vice president of Sega Mobile. "Sonic has appeared in more than 40 games on 19 video game platforms. The mobile platform has been a great extension for the franchise, allowing fans and casual players alike to pick up a truly classic game and experience it all over again on their mobile phones."
Sega Mobile currently offers a few different Sonic games - their newest being Sonic Jump 2 which recently got a nice review from IGN. SEGA Mobile said they plan to build on the success of the Sonic brand with the introduction of three new titles this year, including Sonic at the Olympic Games, Sonic Spinball and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
