Sega's iOS endless runner Sonic Dash announced
Sonic Dash, Sega's take on the endless runner genre, has been announced for iOS devices. It's coming "soon."
After a string of hit-or-miss ports on mobile devices, Sega may have found the perfect fit for its wily mascot on iOS devices. The company announced Sonic Dash today, an endless runner coming to iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad. No word was given on the possibility of an Android version.
Sega's announcement is light on details, but says that the game is coming soon and supports leaderboards for challenging your friends. Other than that, all we have is a logo. It's coming from Hardlight Studio, the developer behind Sonic Jump. That game is one of the more highly-rated Sonic titles on both iOS and Android.
The genre has been popular lately, and the blue hedgehog seems uniquely suited for it. Rayman Jungle Run proved that an established character can make for a great endless runner platformer, so here's hoping Sonic does the same in Dash.

This might not be terrible.

This is a great idea. I never found Sonic games as solid as Mario games. When Sonic moves at the speed of light, I enjoy watching the world whiz by around me. But when I have to jump, and move, and doge, the platforming falls apart. It's just not as fun or tight as Nintendo's plumber. At least an endless runner will let me play Sonic games how I've always played them: by, er, not playing them.
