It may have only been a conversion of a very simple arcade game from 1982, but Pengo was an understated delight on the Game Gear.Ī basic puzzler at heart, the game had you carefully working your way around self contained stages, destroying enemies by strategically slamming ice-blocks into them. Sega has included the game in a few of its Sonic collections in the past, so there’s a very good chance Triple Trouble will make its way onto the 3DS.
With a load of levels, fun bonus stages, and two playable characters it came impressively close to matching up as well. It may have been stripped down in comparison to home console Sonic titles, but Triple Trouble tried its hardest to match up to its big console brethren. With the original already confirmed for the eShop, it’s surely only a matter of time before its superior sequel will get a chance to shine.Īlthough Sonic Chaos was a great game for the Game Gear, Triple Trouble was an exclusive to the system and therefore has the edge when it comes to 3DS eShop desirability. The sometimes over-difficult nature of the original was nowhere to be found, with The Silent Fury offering a perfect blend of challenge, responsive controls, and impressive presentation. Probably the best exclusive for the Game Gear, Shinobi’s second portable outing was a highly accomplished action title that put right the minor flaws of its predecessor. It may not have been particularly original, with the game sticking to the age old RPG formula of random battles and turn-based fighting, but the real draw was the constantly twisting and turning plot, which kept you guessing throughout the title’s fairly short running time. With the 3DS offering a sharper screen, better battery life (just about, anyway) and sound than Sega’s aged handheld, many of the following titles would be given a new lease of life on the 3DS.ĭeveloped from the ground up for the Game Gear, Defenders of Oasis was a traditional but undeniably impressive RPG. So we've compiled a list of ten of the games from the system that we think would be great to see available to download on the 3DS (as long as the price is right, of course). And even the ports usually contained unique features. Although the majority of the better titles for the bulky handheld were ports, there were still some exclusive gems if you looked hard enough. Which is a little unfair on Sega's portable system. So when Nintendo revealed last week that the 3DS would have Game Gear titles available to download from its eShop, the mood wasn't one of uncontrolled excitement. Usually dismissed as a battery-hungry beast with nary an exclusive game to its name, the Game Gear isn't remembered fondly by the majority of gamers.
