The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Sonic The Hedgehog has had mixed results in his platform outings since he roared off the Genesis, but his handheld adventures have a pretty decent track record. Sega continues that trend with Sonic Colors for the Nintendo DS, bringing fast-paced action and adventure in another game that pits the famous hedgehog against Dr. Eggman. We’ve given it a complete hands-on, so read the full article and see if this one is worth adding to your library.

One such game was the adorable platformer New Zealand Story, which tells the tale of a little kiwi named Tiki who is out to save his girl and friends from an evil Walrus. Featuring adorable visuals and some of the most brutal platforming action of the era, this is one game that lures you in with its cuteness, only to then lash out and cut your throat, kind of like Chucky.
The Wii Virtual Console started out strong, with lots of great (and even rare) Genesis games arriving each month.

Within the vast library of Genesis shooters are a select few that follow a “cute” theme. These games are often portrayed as being simpler and more kid-friendly than their more serious counterparts, but looks can be deceiving.
