While we can expect a few Sonic the Hedgehog themed games heading to mobile throughout the 2015 year, we do know of one already that is in the works called Sonic Runners which will be coming from Sonic Team. The game was formally announced by Sega producer Takashi Iizuka at a recent Sonic fan event in Tokyo.

SEGA is teaming up with a company called gumi Asia in order to bring their popular strategy game Chain Chronicle to a worldwide audience next month. Currently this game is enjoying a fair bit of success over in the Eastern part of the world but has remained location-locked to that area. This is going to change though in the very near future though.
SEGA is gearing up to pull Jet Set Radio from Google Play in the very near future. This won’t be a permanent disappearance of the game but there is also no exact date announced yet as to when it will return to Google Play once it is gone.
SEGA and fast growing e-hail app Hailo have teamed up to bring a sort of real-life Crazy Taxi experience to New York Comic Con which will be happening October 9th and 10th. This rather creative experience was thought up to help celebrate the addition of Hulk Hogan to the recently released mobile game Crazy Taxi City Rush.
If you ever caught it in the arcades or on the Dreamcast the name Crazy Taxi should hold at least a somewhat special place in your heart. As a game built on adrenaline, a pretty solid and appropriate soundtrack, and an absolutely ridiculous implementation of physics, Crazy Taxi was probably the title I spent the most hours with on my Dreamcast in the day. Its classic arcade sensibilities pitting you against the clock and unpredictable challenges made it easy to get sucked in by, but very difficult to really master in any consistent way.
Sega is bringing the monkeys back as well as plenty of balls to go along with them with their newly announced title Super Monkey Ball Bounce. This new game will feature AiAi and the rest of the monkey gang as they attempt to destroy the evil machinations of the evil Prof. Boscis.
Humble Mobile Bundles have happened a few times on the Humble Bundle website, but now they should be a more common occurrence, with a dedicated Mobile tab added to the Humble Bundle Website. The first Bundle being offered is one from SEGA.
Crazy Taxi the game has been around for some time. It made its debut in 1999 as an arcade game. It began appearing on consoles, starting first, on the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. After that, due to its popularity, it was ported to PlayStation 2 and the Nintendo Gamecube. The ports didn’t stop there; they kept going. Eventually the game would appear on PC and Xbox. Most recently, the game made its way to mobile devices, both IOS and Android. Sega has retooled the game completely, bringing Crazy Taxi: City Rush to a whole new generation of gamers. Those nostalgic gamers who fell in love with the original game might find the new direction a little constricting. You won’t have to wait long to try it out because it will be arriving in the Play Store very soon.
E3 2014 is officially underway and SEGA has announced a new Sonic title that will be heading our way later this Summer called Sonic Jump Fever. As you are probably guessing, this new Sonic game is based off of the original Sonic Jump that recently landed onto Android as well.
SEGA has partnered with Google to bring Android users two exclusive characters to the popular endless running game, Sonic Dash. For a limited time, Andy Android, the mascot for the Android operating system, is being featured as a playable character in Sonic Dash.
