  • Sonic and Tales 2?
  • I almost forgot what the Game Gear was until I read the article thanks for the reminder :)

  • Cool. I played a ton of game gear back in the day
  • I remember seeing Game Gear in the movie Surf Ninjas and wanting one so bad.
  • Still have mine :) Columns, sonic, spinball, and a couple others. No idea where the power cord is though...

  • And the battery will only last two hours, it will be just like playing a Game Gear :P
  • Never had a Game Gear. Really looking forward to checking some of these out.

  • Oh man, the Game Gear. The only thing I remember about my time with one as a kid was that I had a Sonic game, some casino game, and the horrible battery life.
  • I'll probably buy a few. Any news on prices?

  • Sweet!  I remember when I was little I would always steal my sister's game gear and play Ecco the Dolphin.

  • Can't forget all of those classic Game Gear titles. Oh wait...
  • I would tell the Vita to get it together but it just came out. So around this time next year Vita should be blazing... Sony made a mistake waiting a full yaer. Hence PS3 vs 360

  • I still have both of my Game Gears and a bunch of games. So many bad games to go along with the 6 or 8(!) batteries they took to power them for an hour and a half.
  • i had one of those....

  • That's fair - the battery life is about the same.

  • Every time I fill out the surveys on Club Nintendo, I write "Bring Game Gear games to the Eshop." It feels like my incessant begging has finally paid off. Nintendo is batting a thousand today. This morning I almost cried when they hit me with the "Last Story" announcement. Now they're blowing my mind with a Game Gear announcement. Nintendo knows how to please it's fans more so than any other company. Sony is pretty solid with their fans too, but not as much as the Big N. Microsoft cares more about itself than it's fans. Their no sloppy seconds policy makes me sick. I've played all the bit.Trip games on Steam, and they changed my life. Microsoft denied Gaijin Games the right to release their amazing games on 360 because they were on Wii first. I own all 3 consoles and have already played these games, but a lot of people haven't yet. Microsoft, you have the worst console of the 3 as far as game library goes. Don't you think my opinion would change if you broadened your horizons. I think it would. That's what happens when manatees make all your business decisions.

    Note: I love my 360. Saying it's the worst of the 3 is like saying the ugliest super model. If you respond to my post, please don't push your "360 can beat up PS3" troll *** on me. Give me a response worth reading with valid points and opinions.
  • They should do Chuck Rock II: Son of Chuck.

  • Sounds interesting.

  • I will probably be exited, right up until i play them.

  • Sonic & Tails 2? Awesome!
