Looks like we’re going to have to wait a bit longer to get our hands on the throwback Sonic game. Sega has announced, that in order for the game to live up to the “Sonic” name, the game will be held off until the latter half of 2010.

Sega also stated that because of the delay, it would allow them to hone the game via fan feedback. It was also revealed that Sonic 4 will also be available on the iPhone and iPod Touch, it was previously announced for the PS3, Wii, and Xbox.

Editor’s Note: Well, that’s a bummer. Nevertheless, if it can help make the game better through the delay, then I can wait a few more months. I think most Sonic fans will be quite patient, given the fact that there hasn’t been a decent console Sonic game in nearly a decade. Here’s hoping Sega can adjust it in time for the holidays.
