Still need to finish the last stage on it...

Man, y'know what would be amazing? If Sega released a physical 3DS compilation of all the GG stuff they're putting out on VC. I mean the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection on PS3/360 is probably the best retro compilation of this generation. Would be so cool to see them do something similar for Game Gear.

True that.

Although it would be awesome if Sega released a Disney compilation too. I guess it wouldn't have as many games as Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, but it would be nice to see a re-release of Quackshot. Also, Castle of Illusion, World of Illusion and maybe Fantasia. And their SMS counterparts too would be nice...

Yes. Of course everyone knows Shinobi exists... but most don't seem to realize that the GG game was totally different, and you switched between 5 ninjas who each had diff powers.

Remember that there are TWO Shinobi games for the Game Gear.
Both are excellent, but I prefer the sequel: Shinobi II: The Silent Fury . It's hands down my favorite game on the system.

Ninja Gaiden is a bit of a disappointment IMO. Still entertaining, but not even as good as the Game Boy game (which is a little closer to the NES games).
No opinion on Surf Ninjas, but didn't hold my interest. Always wanted to give Zool a a good playthrough (only sampled it).

Just had to put my word in here

Ninja in Spandex needs to hand in his ninja card for not knowing the ninja game on a stealthy portable system.

Haha I was so certain in my mind that it was a Power Ranger game but I tried all the power ranger games and it wasn't them. The multi-colored ninjas really made me think it was.

Oh wow. I didn't know that. I thought it was a port of the Master System game. So I only sought out Shinobi II for my GG. Now I'm gonna have to get this one.

Just gonna leave this here...
