Sega throws in lot with Ouya, brings Sonic 4 to the platform

Newsbrief: The blue blur himself will be gracing Ouya consoles later this month, according to GamesIndustry International. Sega is optimizing three of its Sonic titles -- Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I and II as well as Sonic CD -- for the Ouya's Tegra 3 processor, with plans to launch all three under a free-to-play business model. David Zemke, director of mobile business for Sega of America, praises the "disruptive" nature of the Ouya for attracting the developer to the console. "It's fun to see what these technologies can do and be a part of it from the beginning," he tells GamesIndustry International. The Ouya will launch on June 25th. All three Sega titles are scheduled for release in Ouya's game store on June 27th.
