Review: Tails Adventure (3DS)

December 11, 2013
3DS/Aspect/Game Gear/Nintendo/platformer/Retro/Reviews/Sega/Sonic/Tails Adventure/Virtual Console

Review by Clark A. As much as I enjoy Sonic’s 2D platforming outings, they all share a particular similitude. If Tails Adventure (and please note, this isn’t a grammar fail on our part, the game really isn’t called “Tales’ Adventure” like it should be – ed) is any indicator, though,…

Review: Sonic Labyrinth (3DS)

September 2, 2013
3DS/Aspect/Game Gear/isometric/Nintendo/platformer/Reviews/Sega/Sonic/Sonic Labyrinth/Virtual Console

Calling Sonic Labyrinth one of the less beloved titles in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise is something of an understatement. A frequent contender for worst game in the series during fan discussions, Sonic Labyrinth makes its debut on the 3DS to virtually zero applause. Yet in some perverse way, it…

Review: Sonic Blast (3DS)

Aspect/Game Gear/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Retro Reviews/Reviews/Sega/Sonic/Sonic Blast/Virtual Console

Sonic Blast was one of the more ambitious outings for the blue blur when it initially released on the Game Gear. Though a handful of other titles such as Donkey Kong Land previously attempted to bring pre-rendered visuals to underpowered portable handhelds, Blast did so with actual color at its…

Review: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (3DS)

Aspect/eShop/Game Gear/Nintendo/Retro Reviews/Reviews/Sega/Sonic/Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Sonic the Hedgehog for the Game Gear was a legitimately solid title that, while flawed in several regards, still managed to establish itself as a viable alternative to the Mega Drive release. It was an even more impressive effort considering the game was not developed by Sonic Team but by…

Review: Sonic the Hedgehog (3DS)

July 18, 2013
Ancient/eShop/Game Gear/Nintendo/Retro Reviews/Reviews/Sega/Sonic the Hedgehog

Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Game Gear is perhaps not the game that immediately comes to mind upon hearing the name. Preceding Sega’s days as a third party publisher or before systems had the capacity to handle one of the company’s innumerable ports, the decision was made to create…

Review: Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine (3DS)

June 25, 2013
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine/Game Gear/Nintendo/Puyo Puyo/Reviews/Sega/Sonic/Virtual Console

Puyo Puyo is, in this writer’s mind, the only series capable of challenging the status of Tetris as the epitome of the puzzle genre. Unfortunately, the series is criminally absent beyond Japanese shores with several key entries in the franchise such as the 20th anniversary game being entirely omitted. Considering…

Review: Defenders of Oasis (3DS)

Arabian Fantasy/Defenders of Oasis/eShop/Game Gear/JRPG/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Retro Reviews/Reviews/RPG/Virtual Console

When it rains, it pours. Just last week I was praising the release of one classic JRPG on the 3DS Virtual Console after ruing the lack of its peers on the service. Not one week later another classic Game Gear JRPG has hit the service. Defenders of Oasis might be…

It’s gonna be a long, hot, 8bit Summer on the 3DS

3DS/8bit Summer/Game Gear/Kid Icarus/Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo eShop/Nintendo Network/Sonic the Hedgehog/Wario

Nintendo has just released a trailer for it’s 8bit Summer promo on the eShop and it’s Gameboy-tastic!I don’t know, for a promotion that’s actually got 8bit in its name, you’d think there’d be more NES games in it. Instead, the offerings are mainly of the Gameboy variety with a couple…

Review: Sonic The Hedgehog: Triple Trouble (3DS Virtual Console)

May 6, 2012
Game Gear/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Retro Reviews/Sonic

Confession time: I’ve never been a huge fan of Sonic games. I’m not particularly good at them, and there just hasn’t been enough to them to inspire me to become good at them. The characters, colours and overall charm has always been on the wrong side of over-the-top for me.…

Review: Shinobi (3DS Virtual Console)

April 1, 2012

Shinobi is one of those franchises with a reputation for being incredibly difficult, and as such it’s a franchise that has a small group of very fanatical followers. Those followers should be happy to know that Shinobi on the Game Gear has held up fairly well all these years later.…
