As suspected, Nintendo has confirmed that Game Gear games are heading to the 3DS Virtual Console.

They will appear on the service from March onwards. While specific games haven't been confirmed, Shinobi and Sonic Triple Trouble have already been classified in America.

Game Gear titles will be the first games not originally released on a Nintendo platform to be re-released on 3DS. The Virtual Console currently includes games from the NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.

I remember reading about the Game Gear back in the day. I've never seen one in the flesh, but I always wanted to try one out. I guess this is kinda the same thing, right?

Game Gear was awesome, I owned one of these - wish I never sold it, It's only prob;em was power damn thing ran on 6 or 8 AA batteries can't remember was good when you plugged in the power adapter!
I reckon if Sega fixed the power issue things might have turned out different for them.
