- Game Gear games Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble and Shinobi head 3DS eShop update - 26 March 2012
Three classic Sega Game Gear games head this week's Nintendo eShop update. Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble, Shinobi and Dragon Crystal both launch this Thursday as downloadable games. Sonic costs €5 / £4.50, Shinobi costs €4 / £3.60, and Dragon Crystal costs €3 / £2.70. On the Wii Virtual Console, Capcom's Mega Man 5 launches for 500 Wii Points. DSiWare puzzle game Hints Hunter launches on the 3DS eShop and the DSi Shop for €2 / £1.80 or 200 Nintendo DSi Points. Meanwhile, 3DS owners get the fourth Shaun the Sheep 3D clip, called Bitzer over easy, created in 3D by Aardman Animations. The third part in a series of Kid Icarus Anime clips is also available from Nintendo Video. It's called Thanatos Rising, and features Pit and his battle against one of Medusa's minions.
- Game Gear Shinobi, Sonic headed to 3DS - 2 February 2012
The first two Game Gear titles to launch on the 3DS eShop will likely be Shinobi and Sonic Triple Trouble. Both have just recieved fresh ESRB ratings (spotted by TinyCartridge ). Their launch will be the first time non-Nintendo platform games have become available on the 3DS Virtual Console. Nintendo first announced it would start dusting off Game Gear titles early last year. Turbografx-16 games were also promised. Sega has launched new games in both the Shinobi and Sonic series for 3DS during the past year, so it makes sense to start mining the back catalogue with these. Both games were rated "E for Everyone", with Shinobi featuring "animated violence".

Some games age well, and some just age; take a look at Shinobi. The 1987 arcade game and its home console sequels are, in the memory, death-defying adventures through samurai death mazes, a precision gauntlet. But these days, Shinobi plays worse than the memory. It feels like an archaism rather than a forerunner. Perhaps that undersells a series that has seen 12 (!) entries, including this kind-of-reboot for 3DS by Griptonite Games. Shinobi has dabbled in full 3D combat with the highly fiddly PS2 games, but here the depth is purely visual. This is a 2D platformer that wants nothing more than to hit the nostalgia button. That's not to say the illusion isn't good. Shinobi's action may be 2D, but its locations have a depth of scenery and a neat eye for angle-turning tricks that, even now, is sadly uncommon on 3DS. The crisp cartoon reworkings of the 16-bit enemies jump out on these stages,…
