Unfortunately, diving into the latter requires original hardware for the most part – a stark contrast to the console games which are mostly available on modern storefronts many times over.

It is easily one of the best 2D Sonic games we have received after Sega pivoted to strictly third-party. A game made by fans for fans, Sonic Mania, is a love letter to the blue hedgehog. Mania offered a fresh perspective of what put Sonic on the map —remixing the classic formula while offering fast-paced gameplay, superb level design, and excellent pixel art. IGN: Sonic Jump review".

Like the Sonic Advance and Rush games before it, Colors was developed in part by Dimps, who brought their refined design to a rather different version of this beloved console adventure.

However, it certainly has level design and camera issues. Ultimately, like its predecessor, Triple trouble should be made available as a Sonic handheld game remaster primarily so fans can better understand the series’ history.

For the purpose of this list, Nintendo Switch games are included because they can be played exclusively in handheld mode, making them handheld games. Because of Nintendo's control over the console video game market, few third-party developers were available to create games for Sega's system. This was a contributing factor to the large number of Master System ports for the Game Gear. Likewise, because of this, the Game Gear library contained many games that were not available on other handhelds, pulling sales away from the Atari Lynx and NEC TurboExpress and helping to establish the Game Gear's position in the market.

And similar to Colors once more, it’s a rather different experience, albeit not as strong as that release. I enjoyed the title, but haven’t played it in many years. I’ve been too busy with the excellent console version.
