Sega Game Gear games are coming to the 3DS Virtual Console

Sega Game Gear will soon be one of the consoles with games on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, adding a little SEGA!!! to the list of consoles that right now is Nintendo-only.

Japanese blog Zettai Simple Shugi got its hands on the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, out every Thursday and often the first place with gaming announcements in Japan, and the magazine reportedly says that three titles will be on sale from March 14th. The games on offer include Sonic and Tails 2, Shinobi, and Dragon Crystal: Shirani’s Maze, all going for 300 yen (about $3.75) each. Despite Nintendo recently starting to sell downloadable NES games for the 3DS Virtual Console, the Game Gear’s addition would suggest that the priority for the service is on portable consoles — those wanting games from more popular home systems such as the SNES or Genesis will likely have to stick with the Wii’s equivalent service for now.
