INITIATE HYPE. The man who remastered Sonic CD a while back, Christian Whitehead, is behind a mobile remastering of Sonic the Hedgehog. I can definitely see a console version coming, so don't feel too upset if you don't have a smartphone or you hate the virtual buttons (like me). If you've already purchased Sonic the Hedgehog, the remastering will actually be available as a free update to the app you already have. Not only will the engine be beefed up to the one featured in Sonic CD's remastering, but a time attack mode will be added, it'll be upgraded to 60fps, will feature widescreen (I think this is for the iPhone 5?), and...wait for it...a remastered soundtrack. It won't be a fully remixed soundtrack (the original sounds will still be intact), but the instruments will be made more clear and it'll just sound nicer overall. Not only is Sonic 1 getting remastered, but according to some listings across various sites, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 may be up for an upgrade as well. This one hasn't been officially announced, but Sonic 1 has and is coming sooner than you think. I already have Sonic 2 on my iPhone, so this huge update will be much apprieciated. Add the option for a Spin Dash to the Sonic 1 remaster and I might actually consider dipping into that one, too.

Now go back and see how many times I said "remaster" in this one article while you wait until Spring 2013 for this updated classic to hit the App Store and Google Play marketplace.
