Official Genesis emulator coming to App Store next month

There are quite a few emulated Genesis games floating around on the App Store. These usually come as a ROM-and-emulator package, and now Sega is moving to make its App Store presence even more visible with Ultimate Genesis, an official Genesis emulator that also serves as a sort of virtual console platform.

 

 

 

There are quite a few emulated Genesis games floating around on the App Store. These usually come as a ROM-and-emulator package, and now Sega is moving to make its App Store presence even more visible with Ultimate Genesis, an official Genesis emulator that also serves as a sort of virtual console platform.

 

Ultimate Genesis is a free app that not only emulates Genesis games but also lets you purchase them straight from the app itself. It’s slated to go live in early February and will come with one game: Space Harrier II. There are other games already available, though, namely:

 

• Sonic the Hedgehog (US$ 5.99)
• Golden Axe (US$ 4.99)
• Ecco the Dolphin (US$ 2.99)
• Shining Force (US$ 2.99)
