Sonic The Hedgehog 3 is nowhere to be seen, and entries such as Light Crusader probably aren’t going to be as appealing as Ecco The Dolphin. That said, Ecco has popped up time and time again over the years, and really, you’re never going to be able to please everyone – it’s the nature of the beast. You’d also have to imagine that before long we’ll get a sequel to this where your favourite finally gets its due. It’s just a matter of waiting. The truth of the matter is that those of us who are serious about retro gaming as a hobby are not the market for consoles like these. Having all of these games pre-loaded on a single console is a convenience, nothing else. Cost wise, there are games we couldn’t afford to buy individually or not without saving up or struggling to justify the expense to our other halves but many simply don’t feel that the drop in quality or hardware limitations are worth it.
