Sonic and other Sega Game Gear games Now on 3DS

If you all want me to hate on a Sonic Game, I will gladly hate on Sonic Blast at any time. I almost want to get it for sheer OMGWTFAWFULNESS, but on the other hand I can keep my money and just play it in s8ds anyway...

 

I already have Sonic Triple Trouble and Sonic 1. I've never played Tails Adventures, but I guess is a good opportunity to check it out...

 

Rebought Tails Adventures yesterday. Still an underrated little gem, I think. Kinda slow-paced, but still fairly solid.

 

That's pretty fucking badass! It's hard to even find hobby-dev'd GG emulators that support the link cable.

 

Wow no shit, that is impressive. But while this is nice, where's my rerelease of Sonic Chaos? I want that game on my 3DS

 

My eyebrow is more raised at Defenders of Oasis. I didn't think it would be re-released in any form or fashion due to sheer obscurity. I can't count how many hours I spent traveling in the back seat playing that RPG. Very basic story and mechanics, but enjoyable (it could probably easily be remade in RPG Maker 1995). If I had a 3DS I'd probably get it for nostalgia reasons.

 

Huh, Sonic Blast was released AGES ago in the UK, in fact it released with Sonic Labyrinth.

 

I'm just saddened they didn't release the Master System editions, instead. The 3DS has more than enough screen resolution... in fact, the DS has enough screen resolution for the whole Master System. >_>

 

What is nice is that you do get to play two player on multiplayer enabled games. Though there's not many Game Gear games I'd like to play two player.

 

A billion times THIS. This is something that has been pissing me off since Sonic Adventure DX's Game Gear unlockables. I mean, there, it's even more infuriating since the MS versions were MADE for a TV screen to begin with so using the tiny Game Gear resolution 'cept upscaled just seems utterly retarded by comparison (and makes things like Sonic Chaos harder than I remember simply because there's not as much space on screen to look at what was to come ahead of me).

 

Game Gear games look better than their SMS counterparts due to a richer color palette.

What they could do for some games (like the first three Sonics), is to just remove the Game Gear's border altogether, like certain emulators allow to. Best of both worlds + - and the only way to enjoy Sonic 2 GG without having to memorize the level layouts =P   .

 

I will have to pick up Tails' Adventure. I really love that game.

 

Sonic 1 on MS looks better than it GG counterpart, because in the MS version, Sonic actually has a nose.

 

The Game Gear version features more detailed backgrounds, though...

 

Is that consistent throughout the whole game, though? I only remember it in Jungle Zone (with the extra fruit and such).

 

Sonic Labyrinth still hasn't been released in NA, though there is a listing on the eshop that says it's coming soon.

 

Right off the bat, I remember the Green Hill sunflowers rotating, similarly to the Mega Drive version, but I think they changed/improved many palettes here and there.
