Yikes.. I know that its the definitive version, but I very much doubt the port of this to an AppleTV is definitive in its control scheme.
As much as I really like the second one, by 10 minutes I’m already at Mystic Cave Zone.
And that’s without a controller and just using my thumbs.Nothing like hitting a dead end in the middle of a pool of lava.

Marble Zone is extremely annoying for me but yeah. Sonic 1 is still a great game, but it doesn't have the awesome music and compelling zones that Sonic 2 has.
Chemical Plant Zone. <3

LOL what? These are the definitive versions. Full controller support, HD, 60fps. Every port except the Christian Whitehead ports have had the same framerate issues as the original Sonic. Oh, and you get the extra moves from the sequels in the original as well. So good.
What are you talking about it does have controller support. When you go to the settings menu is shows which buttons the game utilizes for gameplay.
Wait. Do MFi controllers work for the tvOS version? I actually didn't even try.
Someone earlier in this thread mentioned it didn't and it also doesn't show the controller supported icon it's store page.
But if it does, then I take everything back and I'll be one happy camper!
Just bought this...its terrible with the Apple TV remote. I've already cancelled my purchase and applied for a refund within 2 minutes of installing. Don't waste your time unless you have a gamepad.
dpad + buttons, how else would you play it?

Yes, controllers work fine.
Very strange blanket statement as I used my Nimbus SteelSeries controller immediately after download. Played using the controller for a good 45 minutes.
Wow. You trash something you didn't even bother to try? Classic.Wait. Do MFi controllers work for the tvOS version? I actually didn't even try.

Posting bad info kills this.
Your second quote was partly the cause of my misinformation. The other part is that it doesn't show game controller supported on the store page which is misleading. I've learned my lesson and I'll try my controller anyway in the future, with or without the icon. And lastly, and certainly not least, I never trashed the game.

My inner 9 year old purchased this in an instant when I saw it on the app store.
Like the pixellated look. Had it on Sega Megadrive. I would have played it on a 14" TV back in the day.
Soon as I heard that music - boom back twenty five? years.

Really? I took a ook at the preview and it looked horrible (the resolution totally sucked); back to the eighties. 3 dollars waisted on old junk.
Oh man talk about bringing back some memories!!! Yeah, this is going to be one of those games that I have to get.
Clearly Nintendo should be taking financial advice from a company that posted losses for Fiscal Year 2015.

Clearly Nintendo is the company in trouble.

SMH. Kids.
[doublepost=1458521248][/doublepost]Pretty much rage quit three times on Marble Zone Act 3 now. I've completed this game and the others in the series dozens of times on different platforms over the years. I know I'm old, but was it always this difficult?
If you guys remember Konami made a Contra 1 for iOS. I wonder if we will get a version for the AppleTV?
