Even before Michael Jackson‘s recent death rumors were circulating the internet that he and MJJ Productions were working on a new video game featuring the singer.

Now for those of you out there scratching your head at the thought of a new Michael Jackson game, there was a sidescroller entitled Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker released for the Sega Genesis back in 1990 which you can read about here.

Anyways, MJJ Productions has reportedly been working on a new console game for “several months” now featuring Michael and his songs set for release this holiday season. A rep from the Production studio was quoted to have said the following:

“I am sure it will still be released. Michael loved games.”

Now all we need to know is a exact release date and what console(s) it’s for.

Without saying anything, Sega has gone ahead and released an iPhone port of the original Sonic the Hedgehog.

When I say original I mean the Sonic the Hedgehog released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis. As you can vaguely see from the screenshot, you’ll control sonic using an onscreen dpad and set of facebuttons.

For those of you who want to check this out you’re going to have to pay the $5.99 as there is currently no trial version available in the App Store. Get on that, Sega.
