Brand new Game Gear game in 2020?

[subcon959]

M2 are releasing an Aleste Collection later this year for the Switch and PS4, but rather bizarrely it has a brand new game on it: GG Aleste 3. This didn't exist back in the Game Gear's actual lifetime so they have created it from scratch and used the same specs and limitations that would've been present if it was for the handheld itself. Now, it might seem a bit strange to create a new GG game for a collection on the Switch and PS4 but there is an even weirder reason for it.. there will be a special bundle that includes a white Game Gear Micro with the new game playable on it.



Have Sega and M2 lost their minds or is this actually pretty cool?

It is cool but maybe they have an unreleased game in their archive. Or it is a new game with 8 bit style graphics but running on new hardware, like megaman 8&9

I always get excited when new games come to retro consoles.

Don't you mean Mega Man 9 & 10?

Is it confirmed to be a new game, or are you just guessing?
These days, we are always finding out about previously unannounced and unreleased games, through leaks or discovered betas. There's probably a lot more we don't know about.

Information is a little thin at the moment, plus we're dealing with translations from Japanese like this one from the official Sega twitter:

[SEGA Partners Title Stage] The secret ball of the shooting game "Arresta Collection" released on December 24th was the new game "GG Arresta 3" for the first time in 24 years. We have delivered the charm and new information with President M2 Horii!

So yeah, a little hard to decipher exactly what it is but I'm going to assume that M2 have created this as an entirely new game for now.

Great. I look forward to it

For me it's pretty cool
I'm currently studying to become a game dev, but for some reason I wanted to make a 'special edition' of a game for the 3DS.
Y'know, make a game for PS4, Xbox One Switch, all the modern platforms, but the special edition bundle comes with a 3DS cartridge of the game and possible a special edition 3DS.
... thats too crazy prolly lol
