Many of us wish them the best, but major companies, specifically video game companies based in japan, have decided to help out too. Sega has been selling iPhone Applications for a while. Sonic 4:Episode 1 was released on the app store, along with some classic titles. Well, sega has not only lowered the price of these games, but decided to donate the profit. App Store ::FROM NOW THROUGH 3/20, 100% OF SEGA'S PROCEDES FROM SONIC THE HEDGEHOG iOS TITLES WILL BE DONATED TO THE RED CROSS DISASTER RELEIF EFFORTS IN JAPAN:: As added incentive, the price of the following titles has been reduced: Sonic Spinball: $0.99 Sonic the Hedgehog: $1.99 Sonic the Hedgehog 2: $2.99 Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Eps 1: $3.99 So if you have an iDevice and want to help out a bit, and scoop up some retro games while your at it, make sure to go get some sonic apps. Oh, and if you're a street fighter fan, CAPCOM is doing the same thing.

I had to shell out a ten spot for that! missing the point Oh, well good to know Sega's doing what they can to help, this also gives a lot of ipod users a way to help. I wish I could buy Sonic 1 and 2 to help myself. Unfortunately I can't right now.

And the controls still bug the hell out of me. \|:

I'd be the last one to call someone fat. xD Even so, I dont find anything wrong with the controls, its how close together the d-pad is that causes problems. Anyway, so I dont veer off topic, I didnt know sonic spinball was on the app store, thats kinda weird.

You've got to hand it to Japan, however, they can always find ways to pick up the pieces when something like this happens. Even though their country is so small, they're so resourceful that they can get through a lot of different crises. It's pretty cool that Sonic Spinball is only a dollar now, that was one of my favorite Genesis games.

Not just that they are Sonic but I'd be helping Japan. But since I knew about this news I've asked all my friends with iPods if they have any Sonic games yet and if they don't. That it's the time to buy now. I still don't see Nintendo doing anything to help.

Ahh, spring~ Posts: 199 Group: E Rank Guardian Member #11,512 Joined: October 20, 2010	It's very nice to see Sega (and other companies) doing their part to help the relief. Currently, Sega of America is holding ebay auctions featuring some very rare merch... including the infamous Soniclock! http://shop.ebay.com/segaamerica/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562 Charity as you truly imagined it...
