First released on the PC, Switch, Xbox One, and PS4 last 2017, the remake to the much beloved SEGA platformer is hitting the Android and the iOS on May 30th. In a recent announcement, the masters of the retro remake DotEmu said they were working together with PlayDigious to make the mobile adaptation possible.
The original console version, which was developed by Lizardcube, has been widely praised not only for bringing a Master System title to the modern consoles but also for faithfully recreating the world into a beautiful hand-drawn art style. In their upcoming mobile release, they're aiming to preserve both the animations and the other features in a portable package.
Other than the switch to touchscreen controls, the game will remain mostly the same. Not only will it still feature the option to switch between classic and remastered visuals and sounds, it also keeps the retro passwords from the 1989 release. This means that all your progress passwords from the original Master System will continue to work on the mobile version.
Although it will be available on the App Store, players who pre-register using the Google PlayStore will earn a 30% discount off the launch price.
