Let's talk Handheld VC (and exclude the Nintendo stuff)!! [roundtable]

Were there actually any good Game Gear games? Exclusive ones, maybe? I want to know what to look forward to on the service. Do you guys think we'll see some of the TG-16 classics that never hit the VC, like Legendary Axe? Or just the same stuff again? With a brand-new price-tag? What are the odds that our VC purchases will carry over for identical titles? 1:1,000,000? 1:500,000? Can NGPC be far behind, considering that the VC already has (overpriced) Neo-Geo games? Who owns the rights to the Wonderswan? Should we even care? Will we see a Handheld VC Arcade? With 3D Vector games??? Is Nintendo going to whore out Game & Watch yet again, instead of giving us a proper collection? Will we be able to play Chef in full, meaningless 3D? If the Handheld VC just sticks to handheld consoles, I don't think it will hold the untapped riches that the regular VC does. I think those riches might get tapped pretty gd fast, frankly.

By emulate it, do you mean having full VC support, rather than just handheld systems? I dunno. For some reason, I kind of like the separation of handheld and home consoles on the VC. But that reason is not rational in any way, whatsoever. Of course, it'd be nicer to have cross-platform stuff. I'm not sure it would be as easy as the PS1 cross-compatibility, though, at least for N64 stuff. That emulation seems a bit trickier and less reliable.
As far as paying for TG-16 games again, let's think it out. Who benefits from NOT paying for them again? No one, really. I mean, like you said, Sony owns the platforms, so pushing that compatibility on PS3 and PSP is kind of an extra bullet point. I'm not sure TG-16 games would be a bullet-point for anyone, and Hudson has kind of been whoring that stuff around, anyway.
So the Neo-Geo titles on PS3 don't carry over to the PSP? Do the TG-16 ones? Or do they not have any? That would answer the question, I guess.
Regardless, isn't Japan becoming increasingly meaningless, in terms of raw numbers? It seems like mostly a symbolic battleground these days. |

I actually did own a Game Gear (didn't own the Gameboy line until Advance game along). The best game that I played on the system was Shining Force 2: Sword of Hajya. I had no idea what the game was when I bought it, and had never played an SRPG before, and I fell in love with it. I haven't really played the Genesis titles to compare, but I would say it's worth a purchase if you're in to those games.
I also owned pretty much all the Sonic titles. Now they all blend together in my mind, but I remember having a fun time with them, they were hard though. I know some were on the Master System, but I'm not sure if they were Game Gear ports, of if the GG titles were Master System ports. I would say Triple Trouble is the best, from memory.
I also had Sonic Drift 2 which was ok for its time if you wanted a sub-par Mario Kart clone on the go.
The rest of my games were garbage though, but when you're a kid, you love each and every one of them because that's all you have. Maybe they will release some of the Japan only titles, surely there were some good ones. As for pricing, I can't see paying anywhere over $3, and that's really pushing it. $2 should be a good price |
