Sonic CD will be released for the X360, PS3, PC, iOS, Android and Windows Phone and this time with the original Japanese soundtrack (though it could include the American version : P .)

Hopefully by the middle there is an option to play the game as the original version. To criticize, just the fact of not having been announced a version for the Wii or 3DS.
