OK, I realize that every game has there preferred platform to play their favorite titles, but seriously, is anyone clamoring to relive their childhood memories on the iPhone/iPod touch? SEGA thinks so, and apparently deemed it a fine time to launch a classic gaming portal that’s set to arrive in the App Store in February.

According to the fine chaps at Gizmodo, SEGA’s Ultimate Genesis Collection app comes bundled with one title (the highly suspect Space Harrier II), but allows gamers on the go to make in-app purchases. The  lineup supposedly consists of:

• Sonic the Hedgehog: $5.99

• Golden Axe: $4.99

• Ecco the Dolphin: $2.99

• Shining Force: $2.99

Not bad, but someone tap me on the shoulder when Outrun and a decent controller accessory appears.
