Shinobi and Sonic Triple Trouble have been rated by the ESRB for release on 3DS as Sega Game Gear Virtual Console titles.

The release marks the first instance of Game Gear titles releasing for the service, a feature announced by Nintendo at the 2011 Game Developers Conference along with TurboGrafx 16 titles. Triple Trouble is, outside of PC and GameCube re-releases, the only exclusive Game Gear Sonic the Hedgehog game. Likewise, this iteration of Shinobi (sometimes referred to as The G.G. Shinobi) is known as the first game in the series specifically developed for a handheld.

As of right now, no release date has been announced.

I have fond memories of playing Sonic: Triple Trouble. I wonder if it holds up today. Sounds like a good pick for 3DS Virtual Console.

I have Game Gear Ninja Gaiden. I'm sure it sucks compared to G.G. Shinobi. I might have Triple Trouble. I'm not sure. The Sonic Game Gear games blur together for me.

I'll hold out hope for Ren & Stimpy: Quest for the Shaven Yak AKA the secret best Game Gear ever.

Triple Trouble was a great title. Probably one of best on the Game Gear, in fact. Maybe we'll see Sonic Chaos as well?

Hopefully this means the TG16 games are coming soon as well. I desperately need the ability to play Chew Man Fu on the go.

I guess I missed the announcement that Game Gear games would eventually come to 3DS, as I don't recall hearing that. Nice to confirm that they are on the way.
