Sega has announced that their futuristic blading classic, Jet Set Radio, will launch for both the Android and iOS platforms alongside the HD release heading to consoles and PCs later this summer.
Here are the touted mobile features, as per the press release you can expand with the handy button below:
Jet Set Radio for iOS and Android includes the same slick gameplay, genre-blending soundtrack, and pioneering art style as the other versions alongside new features like OpenFeint and Retina display support and the awesome ability to use pictures taken with your phone or tablet's camera as in-game graffiti!
For my money, I'll be sticking with the HD re-releases set to drop for the console and PC platforms. The thought of Jet Set on the go is certainly intriguing, but I just know I'd be banging my head against a wall over touchscreen controls within minutes of my first tag.
Will this iOS and Android release be getting your money?
