New Game Gear Titles Coming to the Nintendo eShop

Nintendo had some big news during their latest Nintendo Direct presentation, but none as big as the partnership with Sega to make Sonic exclusive to the Wii U and 3DS for the foreseeable future.

But that wasn’t all the news coming, because Game Gear fans have plenty of reason to rejoice as well. In a blink and you’d miss it moment, Nintendo announced a list of titles from the mostly forgotten handheld that will be coming soon to the 3DS eShop.

The games listed are:

Crystal Warriors

Columns

Sonic Blast

Sonic the Hedgehog

Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Defenders of Oasis

Tails Adventure

Shining Force II: The Sword of Hajya

Sonic Drift 2

G-Loc Air Battle

Sonic Labyrinth

Vampire: Master of Darkness

Including the already released titles like Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, Shinobi and Dragon Crystal, the Game Gear library is finally coming along nicely. I have one question though… where the hell is Knuckles: Chaotix?
